There are three kinds of bells: big bell, temple bell and monk hall bell. The big clock is hung on the bell tower to call the names of all temples. The most famous clock is undoubtedly the clock of Hanshan Temple in Suzhou. The bell is placed in the Buddhist temple, and the abbot usually taps it seven times in the morning and evening. Monk hall bells are placed in meditation halls, fasting halls, lecture halls and dharma halls.
