AtDTDA: (13) The Chinese Gong Effect 354---357 pt 3

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

              According to Chinese tradition, gongs came from the
              country of Hsi Yu in the western region, between 
              Tibet and Burma. The gong is mentioned in writings 
              during the early sixth century, in the time of 
              Emperor Hsuan Wu (AD 500-516).

Don't really know anything about the culture or spiritual traditions of 
Hsi Yu, but this is nearabouts Tuva, or am I entirely lost?

In any case, it should be noted that the Chinese Gong Effect ought 
to have long lasting reverberations.
