This book strives to analyze the cultural origins and deep meaning of ancient Chinese bells from the perspective of cultural communication. Chinese ancient bells have gone through a development process from being mainly musical instruments to being mainly ritual vessels, and the cultural characteristics of ancient bells are also changing. In order to elucidate the complex process of the spread of bell culture, the book takes the different communication contexts of bell culture as the entry point and conducts in-depth analysis of the palace bell culture, temple bell culture and folk bell tower culture.
