In Feng Shui science, wind chimes are a remedy with healing and energizing purpose, vibrating in harmony with the energy of the Universe.
Since the fifth century BC, from the time of Confucius, the Chinese were aware that the sounds can influence the state and health of human beings, therefore they looked for a way to create special music to help them gain balance.
About the sounds created in harmony with the forces of universe we learn from their countless legends.
Huang Chung (yellow bell) is believed to be at the origin of the Chinese musical system (the system which, according to some sources, was invented in the third millennium BC).
The name of Huang Di emperor (who reigned between 2698 and 2598 BC) is associated with the invention of the bamboo instrument (often described as a flute or as a set of bamboo pipes) to which special mathematical formulas were applied in order for the sound to be „in tune” with the Universe.
The purpose of the emitted pure sounds was to harmonize the cerebral hemispheres.
This is also the purpose of the wind chimes, their sound being directly transmitted to the right hemisphere of the brain, thus awakening creativity and intuition.
Their popular use spread more widely in the eastern and southern parts of Asia, from Bali to Tibet and Japan.
The Buddhists were hanging thousands of elegant decorated wind chimes from the eaves of their temples, creating an almost deafening sound when the weather was very windy.
In China and Japan, this decorative arrangement gained popularity for decorating temples, as well as homes.
The Western world would get to meet the wind bell late in the 1800s, when the Asian art and philosophy started to have a greater impact in Europe and America.
Today, the bells are known and used all over the world, being considered auspicious by many people.
