Bianqing
The bianqing (simplified Chinese: 编磬; traditional Chinese: 編磬; pinyin: biān qìng) is an ancient Chinese musical instrument consisting of a set of L-shaped flat stone chimes qing, played melodically. The chimes were hung in a wooden frame and struck with a mallet. Along with the bronze bells called bianzhong, they were an important instrument in China's ritual and court music going back to ancient times.
A similar instrument was imported to Korea, where it is called pyeongyeong. It is still used in Korean court and ritual music.
