The difference between buckle and Chinese knot

Belt buckles and Chinese knots are both traditional hand-woven articles, but their shapes, uses and knitting methods are different.

A belt buckle is an ornament used to make clothes or ornaments, usually made of metal or plastic. They usually have a ring-shaped appearance and consist of many small rings, and the size is reduced or increased by guiding one ring to another. The belt buckle originally originated in East Asia, but now it has become a popular clothing accessory all over the world.

Chinese knot is one of the representatives of traditional handicrafts in China. It is usually made of silk thread and has different shapes, such as round, square and diamond. Chinese knots were originally used for blessing and protection, but now they are also used as gifts and home decoration. Chinese knots usually show different meanings and patterns with specific weaving methods and patterns, which have strong cultural connotations.

Therefore, although belt buckles and Chinese knots can be regarded as hand-woven items, their shapes, uses and knitting methods are different, so they are not exactly the same.
