But who is Pat Chang?
And WHY is he making gong stands?

Well Pat Chang is also known as the Chinese Paul Bunyun. Just like the tall tales of the giant sized and quasi heroic Paul Bunyon helped to create a myth about lumberjacks, Pat Chang's tall tales in China are loved by many children. Only his are not about cutting down trees and the likes. Pat Chang's tales are all about how he was a very fine dancer. His dancing, unique to the time, was similar to our current break dancers, except Pat Chang did not "break" - he bent. Pat Chang was a bend dancer, and he could make almost anything bend! Metal, wood, old people with arthritis! He could bend your ear! And spoons? Easy! Chopsticks? Of course!

While Chubby Checker might have made things Twist, Pat Chang was there before him doing The Bend!

So this wooden gong stand, with the wood curved somewhat, we decided was inspired by the Legendary Pat Chang. Who bent most of China to his will, they say.

Yes, this comes with a mallet!
