钟楼：是傣族传统山林教派的报时楼，曾在佛教传入初期出现过，傣语称“霍腊冈”。早期，僧侣们都住在山林的僧舍里，由于山林坡陡，精舍和钟楼不能建在一起，因此就将钟楼建在精舍旁边，每天都安排和尚轮流值日，要从事一些重要的佛事活动，就用钟声来向民间通报，一般建在山腰上。因此，钟楼的功能主要用来通报僧侣早晚朝、诵念戒律等佛事活动的时间。一般都在上午和下午敲击。

The Bell Tower is another construction that the Dai old forest monasteries used to keep people informed of the times of day. It became common in the early times of the spread of Buddhism in Sipsong Panna, and in Dai language it is called “Honglagang”. In the past, all monks lived in the forest, and the bell tower was built beside the monks´ dwellings. The monks take turns to ring the bell in order to inform of monastic affairs, although the main function of the bell is to call the monks for chanting, and so it is generally rung in the early morning and at dusk.
