Did you know that the gong is easily one of the oldest instruments in the world? I mean, just by doing a little bit of research, I discovered that archaeologists have been digging up gongs built almost 4000 years ago. It’s no wonder that when most of us hear a gong we feel like we are being touched in the very depths of our soul. What I found interesting is that the Chinese gong is first mentioned as early as the sixth century, but even the writings that tell us this inform us that another culture from Central Asia actually introduced it to the Chinese! Cool!
