"The Bells of the Temple" is a Cantonese opera composed by Cantonese opera musician Cui Weilin between 1939 and 1940.
The music tells the story of a scholar who fell in love with a woman. After he went abroad to study hard and seek fame, he returned to his hometown and found that his sweetheart had married someone else, so he became a monk. On the night of his ordination, he remembered the ruthlessness and injustice of the heartless people, and he could no longer help himself. So in the temple, he sang his full of sorrow and the condemnation of the heartless people to the sound of bells, wind, and wooden fish.
When this piece was composed, Cui Weilin was living in a hotel. There was a Buddhist temple beside the building (in today's Temple Street), the bells in the morning and the drums in the evening, and the sound of wooden fish. One day, he was full of melancholy. In the face of this situation, inspiration came suddenly, so he created "The Bell of the Zen Garden".
