Tie method of old-fashioned clothing knot in China

There are three kinds of knots in China traditional costumes. One is Niukou knot, which is used for "buttons" and "buttonholes"; One is a bow tie, which is tied on the belt and lapel; There is also a collateral, that is, decorative knots used in skirts, no walking and other things.

(1) Knot (sound "hope").

Also known as buckle, there are two kinds, one is a cow buckle knot, and the other is a button ring as a buttonhole. As shown below. Among the traditional costumes in China, the most distinctive one is the Niukou knot. Unlike western-style buttons, Chinese buttons are paired, exquisite and beautiful. Buttons and clothes can be made separately, and it is easy to change positions and types after sewing. In western-style clothing, once the buttonhole is fixed, the button is basically fixed, and it is almost impossible to change the size, shape and position.

The making of knots is a science, and it is also included in the inheritance project of China! There are many forums and stickers about Chinese knots on the Internet, and you can find many tutorials about knots. You can also buy many related books in the bookstore. But if you want to know how to do it at once, I can only say I'm sorry. I really can't teach it for a while.

(2) knot. This kind is relatively simple, as long as it can connect the tapes. In ancient times, we used concentric knots and double knots. In modern times, we can use bows, but we really can't. Just tie a slipknot.

(3) Collar, that is, a bag woven with silk rope, is used to bind things or hold things, hence the word "netting". In ancient Chinese costumes, you should wear a belt ("sweat towel" commonly used in A Dream of Red Mansions) and then tie a knot. In addition, we should make some Chinese knots on our hair, fans and curtains.

Collaterals are also called tapeworms. The thirty-fifth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions describes the patterns, colors and uses of collaterals in Qing Dynasty.

How to do collateral? This is also a big problem. Please search or buy books yourself. I can teach you how to do a specific job, but I really can't. ...

Although the introduction of Chinese knots is fast, it takes time to be a first-class one; The new circulation and lateral branches belong to the middle and advanced level. If you are interested, you may wish to study it slowly. Very interesting.

I hope my answer is helpful to you.
