Culture lesson—Double Coin Knot

 

Chinese knot is the game show of the mathematical mystery .The complex  has a graceful curve, but it can be reduced to the simple 2-D lines. It shows us the wisdom of ancient Chinese in one aspect. 

Chinese knot is a kind of characteristic folk decorations of handicraft art. Appeared in ancient time, developed in Tang and Song Dynasty, and popularized in Ming and Qing Dynasty.

This traditional handmade folk is made of rope or string. It has many distinctive shapes and splendid colors. In Chinese language, there are two kinds of meaning: one is decoration, Second is the Unity, intimacy, good fortune, harmony.
