Chinese knotting is a typical local art of China. Its characteristic is that every knot is made with a single rope and named by its specific form and meaning. The tradition of Chinese knotting enjoys a long history. Without present-day accessories such as buttons or zips, ancient people had to knot the clothing belt so as to tie their dresses. Over the years, Chinese knot has now evolved to a kind of elegant and colorful artware from owning practical use. Today, people are fond of Chinese knot for its characteristic form, colorfulness and profound meaning.
中國結(Chinese knotting)是中國典型的本土藝術。它的特點是每一個結都是由一根繩索編成的,并由其特定的外形和意義來命名。中國結的傳統(tǒng)源遠流長。在古代,由于沒有現(xiàn)在的配件,如紐扣或拉鏈,人們不得不把服裝帶打結,來綁住他們的衣服。多年來,中國結從原來擁有實際用途演變成一種優(yōu)雅的、豐富多彩的工藝品。今天,人們喜歡中國結,是因為其形式特別、色彩多變并且意義深厚。
