Chinese knotting

The Chinese New Year is coming, and grandma bought a big Chinese knot.

I don't know when, modern people found out the ornaments that were popular at that time from the bottom of the box, and then painted gourd ladle, which was more creative and decorated. Therefore, thick and thin ribbons made of colored silk thread, small rings with totem patterns and elegant Zhui Er ears all constitute beautiful and peculiar Chinese knots. It's amazing that a red rope can make so many tricks. Don't underestimate this little Chinese knot. The emotion and wisdom it shows is only one aspect of China's ancient civilization, and it is a kind of interest for people to pursue randomness and pray for peace.

"Knot" is a kind of rope-woven ornament, which, together with China's fabric and embroidery, is called the three major handicrafts of the motherland. It is unpretentious, elegant and generous. Speaking of Chinese knots, it can be said that they have a long history and run through human history. The long-standing cultural precipitation makes Chinese knots permeate the unique and pure cultural essence of the Chinese nation. Chinese knot is an ancient traditional culture in China.

Nowadays, Chinese knots have become more beautiful and exquisite. They are made of a thick red rope and can be woven into various shapes. Some Chinese knots are woven by two hearts, called "mutual affinity", and have many shapes, such as pineapple shape, silk shape, lantern shape, circle shape, hexagon shape, etc ... Each Chinese knot represents the blessing of "more than one year" and "double happiness"

I like Chinese knots very much. It's like all the people in the Chinese nation are connected by good enthusiasm, unity and friendship. Chinese knot is our traditional culture and a symbol of China.
