Chinese knot is a hand-woven handicraft, and its emotion and wisdom are only one aspect of the ancient civilization of the Han nationality. It was first knotted by sewing clothes in the Paleolithic Age, and then extended to the ritual records of the Han Dynasty, and then evolved into today's decorative techniques.

Jade articles worn by Zhou people are often decorated with Chinese knots, and bronzes in the Warring States period also have patterns of Chinese knots. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that Chinese knots really became a popular art among the people.

Nowadays, it is mostly used to decorate gifts and personal ornaments indoors and between relatives and friends. Because of its symmetrical and exquisite appearance, it can represent the long history of the Han nationality and conform to the customs and aesthetic concepts of traditional decoration in China, so it is named Chinese knot.
