On the first day of 2025, a bell-ringing blessing event was held at the Ancient Bell Museum in Dazhong Temple, Beijing. Citizens and visitors visited the museum, explored the intangible cultural heritage market, experienced traditional folk games, and prayed for blessings amidst the sound of the Yongle Bell, welcoming the new year. The Dazhong Temple, also known as Juesheng Temple, was established in 1733 and served as an important site for royal rain prayers and Buddhist ceremonies. Photos: Li Hao/GT
