Uses: Used to praise the rhythm of music, while expressing the constant diligence of the masses. The gong is used to gather the Sangha. In addition, the gong is also used to strike the watch and announce the morning. The Buddhist scriptures state, “Every day, when the time of the five watches changes, the monks of the monasteries strike the gong or the gong to announce the morning.”

Later, the gong was a tool for the monks to go out to collect alms, striking it continuously to awaken people to develop compassion.

Meaning of the fish image on the gong: The gong has an oval shape carved like fish scales, the fish is standing upright or hanging, meaning that fish are always awake and never sleep, with the intention of awakening and reminding people to try hard to practice and not sleep too much, reminding people to maintain mindfulness.

In the Buddhist scriptures, there is a story that says: “In the Brahmin family, there was a son named Bac Cau La. When he was young, his biological mother passed away. His stepmother was cruel and mistreated him. One time, his father was not home, so he was beaten by his stepmother. He threw him into the river and was swallowed by a big fish. This fish was caught by a fisherman and brought to the market to sell. Bac Cau La’s father bought it. When he brought it home to eat, he heard Bac Cau La’s cry for help. He was able to save his son. Later, he became a Buddhist and lived to be 160 years old.”

This story was passed down to China with some changes: During the Tang Dynasty, Huyen Trang returned from the Western Regions to seek sutras. When he passed through Thuc land, he met a rich man and was invited to his house to have lunch. The rich man’s son was harmed by his stepmother, thrown into the river and was swallowed by sand. Later, the rich man bought the fish to eat and saved his son. Hearing that story, Huyen Trang said: “The fish died to save its child, so we have to carve a fish shape on wood and hang it in the temple. Every time it is time to eat, we beat it to repay its kindness.”
