as well as the positions where the tones can be produced. The
unearthing of this set of bells has proved beyond all doubt the
application of the twelve-tone equal temperament in Chinese music as
early as the 5
th
century A.N., providing one more evidence of the
antiquity of the Chinese civilization.
The 65-bell bianzhong can be seen at the Provincial Museum of
Hubei in the Central China city of Wuhan.
Another trianzhong worth seeing is one of the 16 bells made of
pure gold during the Qianiong period in the 18
th
century, now
displayed in the Forbidden City’s Hall of Treasures. Cast in unique
forms and about the same size, the 16 bells are of a uniform height of
23.8 centimetres, but their ranges from 4,703 to 14,316 grams. Round
in shape, they produce a rather monotonous ring, but they were meant
during the heyday of the Qirig Dynasty, to impress viewers with the
wealth and extravagance of the imperial house. And they are indeed
very much valued, being cast in dazzling gold and engraved with
lively terns of ball-playing dragons.
