I’ve heard about these things, and seen them in the movies, all about China. Usually they have something to do with a kung fu battle of sorts, like in movies like Mulan and Kill Bill, but sometimes they can just be a source of music, as I have seen in orchestras and bands from all over.

A gong rings, it vibrates to a primal time when our hearts could still reverberate freely. A gong is ancient, it shows how something old, clumsy, and large, can evoke something so simple and pleasing.

I already submitted something for gong. It’s something that you ding-dong. I think it might be more effective on this website than that stupid little bell that they have that signals that your sixty seconds are up…That thing is just plain annoying. And now I’m waiting for the bell because I can’t think of anything else to write on the subject. There it was.

It stands up high upon a hill,
While watchmen stand their guard,
Eyes fixed on the horizon ready
to sound the gong if invaders
should appear.

jgong gon gong the chiming sound of the gong awoke her while she tried to settle into sleep. It was...late. It was three in the morning, at least, maybe later, but for sure it was later than she wanted it to be.

The gong sounded again. who was there? She struggled up on the pillow

When I hear that word I always think of Mulan and the affection I held for that movie. Although the Oriental culture is interesting, that one movie made me love their history and life. All because of a sound.

it makes me think about my obsession with Japanese culture and language. i have a gong in my room, not a big one, but it makes a lovely sound. ive been interested in japan since i was about 9 and i first starting learning the language.

I watched the gong show as a child. i always wanted to hit that sucka sucka myself. I also wished that I could be on the show, but what talent would I do? i can’t pull my legs behind my head or do any magic tricks. i could sing? i don’t know.

They always remind me of cheesy films. There’s usually someone in something red and glittery with huge shoulder pads and then suddenly someone bangs a gong and the evil villain appears with a goatee and scary eyebrows…
