The 1st two photos are original bronze bells that were unearthed from the tomb of Yi. It is the largest bronze musical instrument ever discovered. With a set of bells of different sizes (the amount of bronze alloy controls the note on each bell), it can play various tones of the musical scale. There are about 3,000 ancient Chinese characters on the bells, describing the music and the owner of this instrument. In the Music Hall (last photo), musicians wearing ancient clothes play a replica of the Chime Bells.
