The posture of the chime striking terracotta figures is basically the same as that of the Se(ancient musical instrument) playing Figurine, but the hand gestures are different. Both hands of the chime striking figures are half clenched, the heart of the fist is hollow, the right hand is raised, and the left hand is slightly lower. It is presumed that a wooden hammer is originally held by them, which is like a chime. Chime(Qing) has two kinds of texture: Stone Qing and pottery Qing. To strike the chime, it should be hung on the wooden Qing frame.
