Solution by tying rope with five gourds

The binding method of five gourds is as follows:

1. First, make a ring by overlapping a red jade line. Then tie a bird's head knot at the overlapping part with the middle position of another red rope, and then tie another bird's head knot with one of the lines beside it.

2. Hang three more red ropes in the same way, making a total of four groups. After the first red rope is fastened, the bird's head will become a small ring.

3. Take another red rope, take a group of red ropes as the axis, tie a diagonal knot on two lines respectively, then tie a bird's head knot with a brown jade thread and hang it on the last red rope.

4. Winding Continue to tie a diagonal knot on the next set of red ropes in the same way, then hang a brown thread and wind it once, making a total of five threads.

5. Next, the diagonal knot between the winding and the red rope is knitted in the same way every turn, but the difference is the position between the two groups of red ropes. In the second turn, there are two brown diagonal knots between the two groups of red ropes.

6. Add a sparrow's head knot on the third lap, and two brown oblique knots on both sides. Four brown diagonal knots on the fourth lap. Add a yellow sparrow head knot in the middle of the fifth lap. Four brown diagonal knots on both sides. There are two yellow oblique knots in the middle of the sixth lap and four brown knots on both sides.

7. Next is line subtraction, with two yellow oblique knots in the middle and two brown oblique knots on both sides of the seventh and eighth laps. Ninth circle has four yellow oblique knots. Two yellow oblique knots on the tenth lap. The eleventh lap only weaves winding wires and red shafts. Add thread on the twelfth lap, a brown sparrow head knot. Two brown oblique knots on the thirteenth lap.

8. Add a yellow bird's head knot in the middle and two brown oblique knots on both sides. Two yellow diagonal knots in the middle and two brown diagonal knots on both sides. Don't use brown thread, add a bird's head knot in the middle of yellow and two oblique knots on both sides. Two yellow oblique knots. Just do red axis and winding.

9. Cut off the extra thread and burn it flat, leaving only four threads. Four thread ends pass through the flat knot ring and then are fixed and tightened with red rope. Prepare four small black beads and a two-color flat knot ring. Put a black bead on each red rope and tie it to fix the bead.

10. Finally, cut the extra rope and burn the end flat, and a gourd will be ready.
