Theresa Teng was a very famous and popular Chinese female vocalist who started her career in the late 60’s. Her songs are widely recognized in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Singapore and many of the Southeast Asia countries including Thailand and Malaysia.

This has indicated that even over thousands of years ago, the Chinese civilization had reached its peak in using all the available resources to brilliantly created such incredible musical instruments. The largest bell discovered was 485 pounds in weight. There were bells with complex design such as a range of five octaves each with 12 semitones. The frames and hooks of these bells had over three thousand inscriptions of instructions on the assembly as well as the music theory.
