Bronze+Bells

=__//Bronze Bells//__= By: Madeline L. Many people have questions about the Bronze Bells of china. Well I’m going to answer five questions that are most common.

Question # 1. What is the Bronze Bells Made out of & how are they made?

Bronze Bells are made of a particle bronze. Which is known as Copper. The Bronze (or Copper) is a type of metal that is melted into the shape of the bells or any other object. During the Zhou Dynasty they had their own was of melting the Bronze, which would be putting it over hot Cole or over a fire. After they are molded, who ever is the shaper or the carver, carves the shapes in to the bell. After that they cool off and make the handle that holds the bells up.

Question # 2. How would you describe the Bronze bells?

The Bronze Bells are very large. They also heavy and hard to carry. The bells have different shapes and sometimes Bronze Bells have symbols or pictures of the leader or emperor. I also would describe the Bells as Important artifacts because; in china during the Zhou Dynasty the Bells were really important. Most of the time the bells would be very important when an important person died, the bells would be berried with that important person.

Question # 3. What are the Bronze Bells used for?

The bronze bells are used for music and Money (currency).They would use the bells to weigh the money. The way they did this was each bell was different and held a pacific amount of currency. One might have been big, then one small. It’s basically like extra large measuring cups. So one large bell is equal to probably 10 cups or less. When the Zhou dynasty’s people were making music they would ring the bells in away that caused it to play a song or melody. They would rock the bells back and forth, and a metal piece that would be in the center of the bell would hit the side of the bell and ring.

Question # 4. Was the music like the music that me have now?

You could say some of their music is like what we have now. But mostly much faster and in English

Question # 5. What’s the difference between the music during the Zhou Dynasty and the music in 2000-2007?

The music During the Zhou Dynasty Was more soothing and wasn’t in English. Now in China and around the world the music is played din English, Spanish Chinese and all kinds of other languages. Also the music now is not so soothing like it uses to be. It’s all about hip hopped and raps. The Zhou dynasty had their own kind of music that they liked and I think would rather have it the same. There are many people from china, even from America that still like to listen to the old music of the Chinese bells.
