Introduction:

"Chinese knot" is a unique folk hand-woven ornament in China, which is called "China traditional decorative knot". It is not only beautifully shaped and colorful, but also combines the words "Good luck", "Happy Birthday", "Good luck" and "Bon voyage" with Chinese knots to express warm and rich good wishes, which is a masterpiece to praise and convey heartfelt prayers and wishes.

According to "Yi Cohesion": "In ancient times, it was governed by knotting ropes, and later saints used bibliographic contracts easily." Zheng Xuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty said in the Book of Changes: "Knot the rope as a record. Those who have great events will tie the rope, and those who have small things will be tied with the rope." It can be seen that in the ancient land of China, "Festival" was endowed with the legal ideographic functions of "deed" and "covenant" by ancestors, and also had the function of recording historical events, so "Festival" was highly praised by people.
