The bell-ringing event originates from an ancient Buddhist practice. In the old days, temples rang their bell 108 times on Lunar New Year's Eve. The New Year bell-ringing is conducted at temples across the country. But the Seoul event is the biggest and the most symbolic.Temples used to toll the bell to tell the time or bring in people. During the Joseon Dynasty, Bosingak Bell was used to let people know the time of the day and announce the opening and closing of the city gates. It was rung 33 times at 4 a.m. and 28 times at 10 p.m. The bell has been used for New Year celebrations since the nation's liberation from Japan's colonial rule in 1945. On the Liberation Day, the March 1 Independence Movement Day and other national anniversaries, it has also been tolled as a symbol of national unity. Like other Korean bells, Bosingak Bell has an elegant and balanced shape and a deep and clear sound.
