Here Is The Summary Of “The Soul Of The Great Bell”
THE SOUL OF THE GREAT BELL – In this article, we are going to learn about the “Soul of the Great Bell” through a short summary.
Way back 500 years, prominent bell smiths and molders are commanded by the Celestial August and Yung-Lo to make a bell with a sound reaching 100 Li. The creation was lead by Kouan-Yu and within the two trials of casting a bell, it still can’t mold gold, silver, brass, and iron.
In the first failure that the Son of Heaven heard of, he felt anger but didn’t let out a word. Though, when he knew that they still failed the second time, his anger grew, and threatened Kouan-Yu with a letter telling him of a consequence of death if they wouldn’t be successful in casting the bell.
Ko-Ngai, the daughter of Kouan-Yu bearing a beautiful heart, saw the letter but she kept it to herself. Thinking of helping her father, she traded her jewelry and gold to afford an astrologer.

Following what the astrologer advised her, she leaped in the crucible for the third attempt.

Finally, the bell was cast successfully and as the bell was rung, it created a sound that no other bells could be compared
