The Chime bell, which had a unique sound, played an important role in the Chinese traditional musical instruments.The existing conditions and protection measures of the Chime bells are valued by the musical scholars and performers. However, in the current times, most people only hear of the Chime bell,and they don’t understand the performance of the Chime bell, as well as the protection and Chu culture. Up to now, only the choreography and temperament of the Chime bell had been studied, and little of its production skills and cultural development was studied, which limits the further development of the Chime bell culture both at home and abroad.
