Cultural class-Chinese knot
Knots have been used for thousands of years. Some knots were used to record the events, while others had ornamental functions. Chinese Knots are a decorative handicraft that began as a folk art in Tang and Song Dynasties, and became popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Chinese Knots are named according to their different shapes, usages and origins. For example, the treasure knot is with the appearance of ‘Yuanbao', the Chinese ancient golden ingot. And the button knot, which has the function as the button.
We gave a cultural class this Tuesday on Chinese knot at Omeida Chinese Academy. Students learned the culture and history behind Chinese knots and had the chance to try tying Jixiang Jie(吉祥结) by themselves.
It was the first time for our foreign students to learn Chinese knot. We followed the process step by step.
Elizabeth learned it quicly and she is also the first one to finish.
Florain and Robert managed to do it with the help of their Chinese friends.
Mark is our new student and he was an active participant in his first cultural class. He was absorbed in the complicated steps.

In Chinese, ‘knot' means reunion, peace, marriage, love, acquaintance and so on. Chinese knots are often used to express the above good wishes. Wish we all best and enjoy ourselves in cultural classes.
