 Dazhong Temple lies in Haidian, Beijing. It was built in the year 1733 of the Qing Dynasty. It's famous for the Great Bell of Yongle. It was made in 1403 , the first year of Emperor Yongle in the Ming Dynasty ( 1368-1644).

  The Great Bell of Yongle weighs 46. 5 tons (102 ， 514. 95 pounds ) ，with a height of 6. 94 meters ( 22.77 feet ). It is carved with characters all around both the inside and outside of the body,over 227,000 characters in all. Wonderfully designed，it sounds sweet by ringing lightly，while it sends a deep and resounding tone(回声)from a strong strike which can be spread 15 kilometers ( 9.32 miles) away. For these excellent and unique characteristics(特征)，it is called " the King of Ancient Bells" by the people.

  Then how was it hung on the top of the building? After it was made,they waited until the winter came. Then they dug a well every 500 meters ( 1 ， 640. 42 feet) and ditched (挖沟)along the whole way to bring water on the ground，which was able to turn into the ice soon. So they pushed it along the surface to the icy earth piles(堆)in the temple. Finally they started to build the Tower and hung it from the top. When the spring came the following year,the ice turned into water and they began to remove the piles of earth. It showed the people's wisdom completely.
