| Set of bells found in a tomb. This is the only known, authentic, complete set in existence. I think there are 66 of them, but the oddly shaped one was a token of friendship and not for being played. The set had been a gift to its original owner with whom it was buried. |

| A friendly reception at he Miao village of Langde involves the offering of rice wine.
