China is the hometown of bells. As an important part of Chinese copper culture, the ancient bronze bells, which are handed down to the world and are hard to count, reflect an aspect of ancient, beautiful and great Chinese national culture. They are of great value to the study of Chinese dynastic history, ritual and music system, ideological history and music history.
