The origin of Chinese knots comes from knotting: in ancient times, people took notes by knotting. At that time, people didn't have the tools to remember things, but in order not to forget things, they had a way to tie knots, so that big things would tie knots and small things would be summarized. It can be seen that in ancient times, "knot" was given different meanings by our ancestors.
One of the origins of Chinese knots is the Qian Qian knot: in the Song Dynasty, a poet wrote, "The heart is like a double screen with a Qian Qian knot in it.". The knot in this poem represents people's thoughts and feelings and symbolizes the lingering feelings of young men and women. Therefore, after a long evolution, "Jie" has been endowed with various emotional wishes, and related words have also appeared in Chinese, such as "Jie" and "sworn".
Throughout the 5,000-year history of clothing, we will find that from the time when the knot was wound in the shape of "S" around the waist, it experienced the "ribbon" in the Zhou Dynasty, the "waist double belt" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and all the way to the "buckle", purse and Yu Pei on the cheongsam in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all kinds of clothing and accessories showed the wide application of "knot" in traditional history.
