Chinese Gong & Au Courant Stand—14"
The Au Courant stand set holds a 14-inch Chinese gong chosen from 12 styles and includes a traditional Chinese gong mallet.
Heng gongs use thick bronze, a deep rim and a fully lathed face. Deep Breath Chau gongs carry the Deep Breath dark unlathed center plus a rim. Dark Wind gongs are Wind gongs with an unlathed outer edge.
The Au Courant stand is a table-top stand 20 inches tall with a 4-inch-deep base. Gong weights run 2 lbs 8 oz to 4 lbs 10 oz depending on style. Activities often associated with creativity, learning, and leisure can also play a meaningful role in cognitive and emotional well-being.
Reading, writing, listening to music, and playing an instrument do more than provide entertainment or creative expression. Research suggests that these activities can help individuals explore, express, understand, and regulate emotional experiences. Music has been associated with emotion-regulation processes and mood management (Peters et al., 2024; Chong et al., 2024), expressive writing has been linked to emotional processing and reflection (Pennebaker, 2018), and reading has been associated with emotional understanding, empathy, and perspective-taking (Rezende & Shigaeff, 2023; Luperini, 2021). These activities also engage cognitive systems involved in language, attention, and memory (Kunert et al., 2015; Maess et al., 2001; Patel, 2003; Yurgil et al., 2020). Musical and linguistic activities draw on shared neural resources for processing structured information, including syntax (Kunert et al., 2015; Maess et al., 2001; Patel, 2003), while music training has been associated with working-memory processes and executive functioning (Yurgil et al., 2020). Reading, writing, and music may support emotional well-being and cognitive development while strengthening communication, memory, attention, emotional understanding, and self-regulation.
