Introduction to the Hanshan Bronze Bell: Hanshan Temple has always been famous for its bells. The ancient bells of the Tang Dynasty have long been lost to oblivion. The bells cast in the Ming Dynasty were also "sold as cannons in the event of Japanese aggression." What you see now is that the Japanese Yamada Hanzan raised funds to recast it in 1905. This bell is located on the right side of Daxiong Hall. It is about 0.8 meters high and 0.62 meters in diameter. It has a molded inscription "Gusu Hanshan Temple Bell Inscription" on it. This bell was cast in two parts, one in Hanshan Temple and the other in Kanzan Temple in Japan. It is still well preserved.
