We just learned about the Leshan Giant Buddha.
Another ancient Chinese sculpture is the Bianzhong of Marquis Yi of Zeng.
This is a group of 64 bells called bianzhong, made of bronze.
These bells are hung into eight groups, and split up on three levels.
The biggest bell is over 60 inches tall and weighs over 400 pounds.
The smallest bell is 8 inches tall and weighs about 5 pounds.
The musicians who play these bells use wooden hammers to hit them to make sounds.
The Bianzhong of Marquis Yi of Zeng were found in 1978, in the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, a ruler from around 400 BC.
