Each shape has its own meaning. Now you can see it as a decoration or a gift for friends. People can use ropes of different colors to weave a Chinese knot, but they usually choose red because it means good luck and it’s a symbol of joyful culture in China. The Chinese knot has a long history. People might have originally made them to record information and send messages before they started to use words. It is well-known that the knots were used for decoration and expressing thoughts and feelings in the Tang Dynasty. They were later popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. But it was not until the Qing Dynasty that this art became really accepted (接受) by the common people. Even today, Chinese knots hold emotional value when gifted or passed down through families. For example, lovers may give a knot to show their love. The “double happiness knot” is given and used at weddings to express each other’s love and wishes for growing old together. In addition, knots are also used when people make traditional clothes in China. They can work as buttons (纽扣) and now silk is widely used to make these clothing knots. Many tourists like to buy Chinese knots as gifts for their friends during their trips and there are many shopping streets where people can buy Chinese knots. Yiwu Commodity Market in Zhejiang Province is a good place. There are many different types of beautiful Chinese knots, which are popular with customers. From ancient messaging tools to modern decoration and clothing accessories, Chinese knots carry feelings and become a loved cultural mark. 46.
