Bianqing

The ''bianqing'' is an ancient Chinese musical instrument consisting of a set of L-shaped flat stone chimes, played melodically. The chimes were hung in a wooden frame and struck with a mallet. Along with the bronze bells called ''bianzhong'', they were an important instrument in China's ritual and court music going back to ancient times.

A similar instrument was imported to Korea, where it is called ''pyeongyeong'' and still used in Korean court and ritual music.
