It is one of China most ancient musical instruments, dated back to the Shang dynasty, and it was frequently used in temples' ritual music. During the Qing dynasty, the performance of ritual music also helped to legitimize Emperors' rule. The form of the Tê-ch'ing was created to exact dimensions so that it could faithfully render the sound of the triple octave below huang-chung when correctly struck by a special hammer. A hole was drilled in the apex angle through which a 'gut cord' was inserted to suspend the instrument within a confined frame (of wood, iron or stone). The inverted V-shape of chime stones was probably the standard form of a stone instrument know as the bian-ch'ing, which was generally smaller than the Tê-ch'ing. It consisted of sets of 16 pieces, all of equal length and breadth, suspended on a single frame. Each side of the jade Tê-ch'ing is engraved in the stone and filled with gold pigment. It is adorned with a detailed design of the auspicious dragon swirling amidst the clouds and pursuing a flaming jewel on the surface, as well as registers on the edges of clouds and characters. Some faded sections on the surface of the bell reveal red pigment underneath the gold inlay. On the shorter edge of the instrument, there is an engraving of the date of the piece written in kaishu (regular script), meaning 'made during the twenty-ninth year of the Emperor Ch'ien Lung's reign'. The longer edge bears two characters, also written in kaishu, meaning 'golden bell' (huáng zhong). The Jade Stone Chimes can be classified into three distinct categories: a) The Tê-ch'ing or 'Single Sonorous Sounding Stone' b) The Pien-ch'ing or 'Major Key Sounding Stone Chime' c) The Ko-ch'ing or 'Chromatic Sounding Chime'"},{"label":"Title","value":"Chime stone Tê-ch'ing"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
