Chinese Gong & Large Eternal Present Stand—16"
Our 16-inch Chinese gong set includes the Eternal Present stand, a traditional Chinese gong mallet and a gong in your choice of 12 styles.
Chau gongs show a bull's-eye of lathing between the rim and the center, which gives a clear fundamental tone when tapped and a balanced crash on a firm strike. Atlantis gongs are unlathed with an oxidized, patinated surface, and the color and pattern differ from gong to gong. Mother Tesla gongs stay unlathed with a dark finish and a spectrum of tones drawn from the bronze.
The Eternal Present stand is a stained hardwood stand. Gong weights run 3 lbs to 6 lbs 8 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.
