Bell and stone-chime music was a type of ritual activity in ancient China. Its origin was not only sound but also the connection between instruments, space, body language, technical knowledge, and memory. The four aspects of the subject are: ritual institution, acoustic and ethical order, material technology, and ancestral memory. It proposes the idea of “ordered resonance” to explain how noticeable tonal relations and predetermined arrangements came to have meaning through performance and memory. Suspended ensembles made the rituals visible, coordinated tones created a sense of order and emotion for the people, craftsmanship combined acoustic accuracy with self-discipline, and funeral scenes connected personal identity with the continuity of ancestors. Bell-and-stone chimes should not be regarded as mere ornaments for pleasure or as standalone works of art. Its cultural power came from the interaction of stable forms and new sounds, the division and combination of different elements, and present performance with inherited memory.
