我想問下編鐘既資料 要英文

Bian Zhong was a set of bronze musical instruments. This set of Bian Zhong varies in size. The largest one is 52cm and the smallest 22cm high respectively. A total of 355 characters were engraved on these Bian Zhong with sharp tools. Two smallest ones contain inscriptions with two-line and 11 characters. The inscriptions on separate Bian Zhong told a complete story that Marquis Su of the Jin State received order of the King of the Zhou State to attack "Su Yi" in 846 B.C. This set of Bian Zhong numbers 16 pieces in total. !4 pieces were found at an antique shop in Hong Kong and obtained by Shanghai Museum in December 1992. The rest two smallest pieces were unearthed from Marquis Su's tomb in Shanxi Province in 1993. The styles of 14 pieces are identical to other two little ones and they can be put together according to their size and inscriptions. It is verified the original number of this set of Bian Zhong was 16.

編鐘

三個或以上具有一定音高的銅鐘，並以音階編排，稱為編鐘。
最初的鐘用陶土製成，到了夏朝出現了青銅製成的鐘，周朝已經用銅編鐘演奏音樂。
西方的鐘呈圓形，完音較長，並不一定適合作音樂演奏用途；而中國古代的鐘扁，完音較短，每個音也比較清楚，所以適合作音樂演奏用途。

1978年，在中國湖北曾侯乙墓中發現了目前全國最大型的鐘鼓樂隊，懸掛的編鐘有六十五個，分三層懸掛，重達二千五百公斤。

經過測音後得知每個鐘都可發出兩個固定音階，全套編鐘則可發出五個八度的十二個半音，只比現代鋼琴少了最高及最低的兩個八度。最有趣的是，這套編鐘的「宮音」發聲頻率竟跟現代鋼琴的中央C大致相同。

A carillon-like instrument with less than 23 bells is called a chime.

American chimes usually have one to one and a half diatonic octaves. Many chimes play an automated piece of music. Prior to 1900, chime bells typically lacked dynamic variation and the inner tuning (the mathematical balance of a bell's complex sound) required to permit the use of harmony. Since 1900, chime bells produced in Belgium, the Netherlands, England, and America have inner tuning and can produce fully harmonized music.
