Bells are hung under the eaves of some temples in China. What's the moral?

The bell under the eaves of the temple is a kind of utensil similar to "wind chime", also known as "birdsong bell" and "flower protection bell". Through these two nicknames, I think you can also know that the temple bells are definitely not bought for decoration at home, but we want to blow the wind to make the bells ring, so that birds will not get close to the flowers and plants in the temple and will not hurt them. So the bell under the eaves of the temple is similar to the scarecrow, which not only protects the flowers and plants in the temple, but also does not harm the birds.

In addition, some pagodas also have bells on the wheel and eaves, called wind chimes, which exude a harmonious charm. The wind blowing precious trees, treasures and graves is one of the elegant voices in the western paradise. After Buddhism was introduced into China from India, priests were hung on the eaves of temples and pagodas and became wind chimes.

The wind chimes in the temple are important religious objects with statues and spells carved on them. The wind chimes under the eaves of the temple are solemn and clear, and seem to wake up the world from time to time. Warn the world to retreat from Buddhism and remember to meditate.

In addition, the wind chimes on the eaves of temples also have the meaning of praying for good luck and exorcism. There is also a saying in the Buddhist scriptures that the three treasures are backed by melodious bells. Wind chimes are compared to reciting. Moreover, when the wind chime is engraved with a spell, its sound will benefit all beings wherever it goes.

Lingduo is one of the Buddhist musical instruments, also known as Shouduo, Shouling, Baoduo, Fengduo and Yanduo.

As the scripture says: "The ceiling is covered with a veil, and the Baoduozhu flag is decorated with various colors. I love music very much." The Song of Rites says, "Zhong He Qi, the wind shakes Guanyin Bodhisattva with a thousand hands, and Maitreya with 30 arms holds Tudor with a bell." In addition, the bell is also one of the indispensable tools in various Buddhist societies.
