The bell is an important instrument in Buddhist rituals. The bell has the function of calling monks together and telling the time. It not only adds the dignity of the Buddhist temple, but also has the Buddhist meaning of "awaken the worldly celebrities and bring back the enchanting dream of the bitter sea".
