Chinese Knots中国结 (zhōng guó jié)
Chinese Knotting has decorated both the fixtures of palace halls and the daily implements of countryside households. It has appeared also in paintings, sculptures, and other pieces of folk art.
Almost all the basic knots are in symmetrical form. Except for the Double Coins Knot, Chinese Knotting is three dimensional in structure. It is comprised of two planes which are tied together to leave a hollow center. Such a structure lends rigidity to the work as a whole and keeps its shape when hung on the wall. The hollow center also allows for the addition of precious stones. The complicated structure of Chinese Knotting allowed for all kinds of variations and enhances its decorative value.
Our lovely students trying so hard.
In Chinese language, "knot" has the meanings of reunion, friendliness, warm, marriage, love etc. In addition, "knot" and "luck, felicity" have the similar pronunciation, so Chinese knots are often used to express some good wishes including happy, prosper, love and no evil.
The character of Chinese knots is: every knot is weaved just from one thread, and every basic knot is named by its appearance and meaning. Different knots are interlaced, or with the other adornments to develop this special, auspicious garnishes, which is colorful and full of profound meanings.
