Further to what I had mentioned, for those who are not aware of the Chinese culture, ringing bell etc... is performed as a `rite' for someone who has died.

Chinese monks who perfom the last burial rites use bells etc.. to guide the dead to their burial place.

Here like wind chimes, one may inadvertently call some wondering `spirits' to the home.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
