Introduction to the Bronze Bell: The original "three treasures of Zhenshan" in Baita Temple: elephant skin drum, bronze bell, and redbud tree. The elephant skin drum is said to have been given by an Indian monk when he visited the White Pagoda, and now there are only imitations of it. The bronze bell was cast during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and weighs 153.5 kilograms. It is now in the temple; the redbud tree has long since died.
