鈴鐸 (*língduó*, bells and clappers; the upper character has the fanqie 歷丁 [*lì* + *dīng*]. Zheng's commentary on the *Zhouli* says: "Bells must be rung to respond to one another." Note: A *líng* is made by blending bronze so as to form an empty hollow sphere round like a pearl, having an opening and an eyelet, holding a small pellet inside; when shaken it emits a sound, ringing crisply [*línglíng*], hence it is named *líng*. The *Gu-jin zhengzi* says: "It is composed of 金 with 令 as phonetic." The lower character has the fanqie 唐洛 [*táng* + *luò*]. Zheng's commentary on the *Zhouli* says: "A *duó* is a large bell, shaped like a small bell, inside of which an iron tongue is suspended; shaken, it makes a sound." It is a phono-semantic character).
