ABOUT THE STONE CHIME SYMBOLISM: The chime stone (qing 磬) was a percussion musical instrument in ancient China. Each chime stone was flat and shaped similar to a chevron. A small hole at the top center allowed the stone to be hung from a frame. The musical instrument consisted of a set of 8 to 24 of these chime stones with each tuned to a different pitch. When struck with a mallet the chime stone produced a musical sound. Since many chime stones were made of jade, the chime stone also symbolizes wealth and riches. The stone chime (qing 磬) has the same pronunciation, and thus the hidden meaning, of to "congratulate" (qing 庆). The chime stone is also considered one of the Eight Treasures. Above excerpts from Primaltrek website "The hidden or implied meaning of Chinese Charm Symbols" Musical Jade Stone Gong (Qing), is a ministerial emblem and a symbol of a just and upright life. Symbol used alone in decoration as the homophonic (same sounding) word 'festivity' or 'celebration'. - Goethborg website I have a large collection of Asian, mostly Chinese beads, jewelry and other antiques that I will be auctioning in the next few months so please take a look at my other listings and save me to your seller list.
