I recently visited the museum and found some very interesting treasures from ancient China during the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Periods, which is almost 3000 years ago. Some of them seem so modern-produced, I was truly amazed. Here is one of them. Guess what they are and what were they used for.

At the first sight,I thought they were the stand microphones or something that were used for those nightclub singers to sing in the dancing hall= =

If that's true, then it will change the history of the microphone's invention. It is a pair of bells that used on the Emperor's carriage. How cute they are!

Bianzhong, or chain bell in English
@IvySilverdew My home town was a state called Zeng during the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Periods. One of the most famous emperors is known as Yi. You might heard the world-famous Bianzhong, or the chain bells in English. It was discovered in the tomb of Yi. The largest set of bells weighing 203.6 kilograms, the full set of bells bells tall tomb 64, with a total weight of more than 2500 kilograms.
