    What happened?

    Yong-Lo, the mighty


    emperor of the Ming
    Dynasty
    commanded
    the Kouan Yu, one of
    his officials to cast a

    great
    bell
    of
    an
    enormous size that the
    sound could be heard
    for one hundred li. The
    bell should be made of

    brass, gold and silver.


    Furthermore,
    he
    ordered that the bells
    lips
    should
    be

    engraved with blessed


    sayings.
    Though all the master
    molders were tasked to
    cast the great bell, all

    the metals would not


    mix well. The bell they
    casted was cracked,
    fissured
    and
    split.
    There was even no

    uniformity
    in
    the
    sound.
    The mighty emperor
    heard of it and he was
    angry. He gave one

    final order that if the


    bell wouldnt be done,
    Kouan Yu had to die.
    This
    worried
    his
    beautiful daughter, Ko-

    Ngai who asked for a


    fortune tellers advice
    to help his father. The
    advice was for the bell
    to be casted perfectly a

    virgin blood must be


    mixed with the metals.
    Ko-Ngai sacrificed her
    life and leaped to the
    furnace.

    After that, the casting


    of the great bell was
    accomplished.
