銅鐘是什么呢？顧名思義，就是用銅原料鑄造而成的鐘，其實(shí)，鐘很早以前就作為禮器出現(xiàn)了，鐘大約是由商代的鐃發(fā)展而來的。常見的鐘有三個(gè)類別，分別是唐代的“平直形”鐘口銅鐘、唐宋時(shí)期的“淺波形”鐘口銅鐘、明清時(shí)期的“喇叭形”鐘口銅鐘。
What is a bronze bell? As the name suggests, it is a bell made of copper. In fact, the bell appeared as a ritual vessel long ago. The bell was developed from the Nao of Shang Dynasty. There are three common types of bell, namely, the "straight" bell in Tang Dynasty, the "shallow wave" bell in Tang and Song Dynasties, and the "trumpet" bell in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
銅鐘一開始是作為禮器出現(xiàn)的，是宴饗或祭奠的必不可少的禮器之一，古屬八音之一金類，銅鐘發(fā)音洪亮悠揚(yáng)，在佛教傳入之后，銅鐘也逐漸成為了法器，在古代的時(shí)候，銅鐘也是王權(quán)的象征。
At the beginning, the bronze bell appeared as a ritual vessel. It was one of the indispensable ritual vessels for feasting or sacrificing. In ancient times, it was one of the eight tones of gold. The pronunciation of the bronze bell was loud and melodious. After the introduction of Buddhism, the bronze bell gradually became a ritual vessel. In ancient times, the bronze bell was also a symbol of kingship.
在現(xiàn)代，銅鐘主要是用來參觀和紀(jì)念的，而且銅鐘還有警醒人的作用，敲擊銅鐘之后發(fā)出的聲音，可以將心中的雜念去除掉，在寺廟中，發(fā)生大事情的時(shí)候也會敲響銅鐘。
In modern times, the bronze bell is mainly used for visiting and commemorating, and it also has the function of alerting people. The sound made after striking the bronze bell can remove the distractions in the heart. In temples, the bronze bell will ring when something big happens.
