But they are not noted in Chinese history until about 500 A.D. Chinese history attributes gongs to the HSI YU nation, located between Burma and Tibet. It is believed by historians that Java, Annam, Burma, and China were the main gong producing centers.ongs and gong bowls in the Tibetan spiritual tradition have the deepest links with the cosmos and the spiritual world. It was not unusual for monks to use gongs to invoke spirits, maybe bad spirits (this is not recommended but, nonetheless, part of gong history).
The Sarcopterygii, or lobe-finned fishes, is a clade containing the coelacanths, lungfishes, tetrapods, and their fossil relatives, including the osteolepiformes and panderichthyids. They are the sister group to the ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), together forming the bony fishes (Osteichthyes).hese lobe-fins gave rise to the paired limbs of tetrapods, with the single bones representing the humerus (forelimb) and femur (hindlimb). The once-diverse coelacanths (Actinistia) are now represented by just two species in a single genus-Latimeria chalumnae and L. menadoensis.
This group includes a variety of exotic fishes, introduced into North American waters from Europe or Asia. Part of the gigantic Cyprinid or minnow family, the carps are large, burly, and extremely smart. Esteemed game fishes in their home waters, they are often considered a nuisance in North America. Carp are big, canny, hard-fighting fish. The mainstream angling community scorns these hard-fighting invaders, but that doesn't prevent smart and resourceful fishermen from enjoying this largely untapped resource.
