In the process of Beijing's bid to host the Olympic Games, Chinese knots, as a symbol of China's traditional culture, are deeply loved by friends from all over the world.

2. Origin

People in China learned to tie knots a long time ago. And "knot" has always played an important role in China people's life. One of the main reasons why knot is so important is that it is a very practical technology. This can be seen from many historical materials and traditional customs.

As early as the end of the Paleolithic period, that is, the remains of Zhoukoudian caveman culture, the existence of "bone needle" was discovered. Since there is a needle, there must be a rope at that time, so it is inferred that simple knotting and sewing techniques should have been formed at that time.
