Introduction of Auspicious Knot

Auspicious Knot, also known as Chinese Knot, is an ancient traditional hand-woven craft. In China, it represents the meaning of good luck, wealth and peace. The ear flaps of the Auspicious Knot are seven, so it is also known as the "Seven Circle Knot". This knot is often seen on the clothing of Chinese monks and temple ornaments, and is an ancient and considered auspicious knot, hence the name "Auspicious Knot". This knot can be beautifully transformed into an auspicious flower with many petals. In the combination of knots and decorations, if you add the auspicious knot, it can symbolize good luck, good luck and peace, good luck and prosperity.
