Japanese Glass Wind Chimes

Around 1100 BC, the Chinese began making bells with a more musical quality about them and the more modern, musical and artistic form of the wind chime was born. It was a form of a clapperless bell (called a yong-zhong) and used in religious ceremonies. Following shortly after the yong-zhong, came the feng-ling - the modern wind chime. It was hung from the eaves of shrines, temples, pagodas and in caves to repel evil demons and ghosts and to attract good spirits. It wasn't long before the practice of wind chimes was adopted by the more secular world and they were soon in the home as well as at the temple. The wind chime was used as a way to protect the home and those within from nasty, supernatural influences.
