Answer 1

Buddhism had a strong influence on Chinese society for centuries after it flourished in the region from 206 BCE to 907 CE. The dung-chen, a prayer instrument used in morning and evening calls to prayer, is associated with Tibetan Buddhism, which spread to China during the Ming Dynasty. The presence of this instrument in the image suggests the influence of Buddhism and its practices in Chinese religious life during the Ming Dynasty.
