The development history of Chinese knots;
Chinese knot is a kind of traditional hand-woven fabric, which originated from Han Dynasty in China. According to archaeologists, weaving techniques and tools existed in the Yangshao culture period 4000 years ago. However, the earliest Chinese knot may have appeared in the Tang Dynasty, when it was called "Niu" as an ornament on clothes.
With the passage of time, Chinese knot gradually developed into an independent art form and reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chinese knots were widely used and gradually developed different patterns and styles. At the beginning of the 20th century, Chinese knots, as a folk handicraft, began to go to the world and were loved and favored by more and more people.
Today, Chinese knots have become a part of China culture and one of the unique hand-woven arts in the world.
