JOHN LANE COMPANY NEW YORK
large Chinese bells are not swung, but se-
curely sustained by ropes and chains fas-
tened to the handle in frames constructed
of strong beams. The bell was struck by a
wooden log, which was made to swing
against one or more of the odd and peculiar
ornaments known as buttons; these pro-
jections are arranged in three rows on each
of the two sides. All the ancient bells of
this kind show these projections, which are
thought to have been used for the purpose
of adjusting the sound, since the bell was
one of the chief musical instruments used
in tuning the temple orchestra. The origi-
nal pattern of this old bell is found in the
Chou dynasty, 1122-255 b.c. The in-
scription is in silver wire, and as interpreted
by Dr. Hirth reads: “Sung Kung Su chi
hong-chung,” the translation of which is
"Hong, bell of Su, Duke of Sung.” The
bell was called Hong as being classed with
a musical instrument, so-called, the inven-
tion of which was ascribed to one of the
fabulous emperors of the third millennium
B.C.
According to the inscription Su was
the personal name of the Duke of Sung,
OLD TEMPLE BELL, CHOU DYNASTY
who caused the bell to be cast. Bells bear-
ing this inscription were cast under the
auspices of a Duke of Sung in the present
province of Hunan, whose reign extended
from 274 to 530 B.c.
Besides the ceremonial vessels, of equal
interest and historic significance are the
bronze metallic mirrors. The main deco-
rative feature of the mirrors is upon the
back. Here, together with ornamental de-
signs, are inscribed the prayers and mottoes
of the owner and symbolic representations
of that particular dynasty or period in
which they were used. They are disk
shaped and held by a silk cord run through
a knob in the center of the ornamented sur-
face.
At the early period of their use they
were the only available objects to reflect
the human face. Magical powers were
attributed to these mirrors. They were re-
garded as a charm against the attacks of
unseen evil spirits that beset the life of a
Chinese, and were hung up over the own-
er’s bed. A noteworthy revelation has
been made by Prof. Frederick Hirth, the
distinguished Chinese teacher and scholar
of Columbia University, New York, and
