The course is mainly composed of diagonal knots and Liu Ertuan's golden knots. The style is lovely, but it needs a certain foundation.
Chinese knot is a hand-woven handicraft, and its emotion and wisdom are only one aspect of the ancient civilization of the Han nationality. It was first knotted by sewing clothes in the Paleolithic Age, and then extended to the ritual records of the Han Dynasty, and then evolved into today's decorative techniques.
Jade articles worn by Zhou people are often decorated with Chinese knots, and bronzes in the Warring States period also have patterns of Chinese knots. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that Chinese knots really became a popular art among the people. ?
Nowadays, it is mostly used to decorate gifts and personal ornaments indoors and between relatives and friends. Because of its symmetrical and exquisite appearance, it can represent the long history of the Han nationality and conform to the customs and aesthetic concepts of traditional decoration in China, so it is named Chinese knot.
There are many kinds of Chinese knots, such as double money knot, ox knot, pipa knot, gold knot, cross knot, auspicious knot, swastika knot, coiled knot, algae well knot, double connection, bow knot, trick knot and so on. Chinese knots represent unity, happiness and peace, especially among the people, and their exquisite workmanship is deeply loved by the public.
Chinese knots are not only beautifully shaped and colorful, but also these, such as auspicious celebration, long life, double happiness, good luck and a pleasant journey, all express warm and rich good wishes and are excellent works to praise and convey heartfelt prayers and wishes.
Chinese knots are woven with a silk thread from beginning to end, and each basic knot is named according to its shape and meaning. Combining different ornaments with each other, or with other ornaments with auspicious patterns, China traditional auspicious ornaments with unique shapes, colorful colors, profound meanings and rich connotations are formed.
The material is red thread. There are many kinds of threads, such as silk, cotton, hemp, nylon and blended yarn, which can be used for knitting. What kind of thread to use depends on what kind of knot to tie. But generally speaking, not only the pattern of the knot is swallowed up, but also the aesthetic feeling of the thread itself will be eclipsed by the interference of the knot.
The hardness of the wire should be moderate. If it is too hard, it is not only inconvenient to operate, but also difficult to grasp the knot shape. If it is too soft, the knitting is not straight and the outline is not obvious, so that the knot and the utensil are combined into one, and there is a dynamic rhythmic beauty in the swaying.
Lines of different textures can be woven into works of different styles. Pay attention to the color when selecting the line. Ancient jade and other quaint objects should be decorated with knots, and the lines should be in subtle colors, such as brown or dark green. But for some objects with monotonous shapes and dark colors, decorative knots should be arranged.
Various threads can weave many knots with different shapes and rhythms. Among them, there are double money, buttons, pipa, group brocade, cross, auspicious, swastika, plate length, algae well, double knot, butterfly knot and so on.
Chinese knot art is a unique folk hand-woven art in China. With its unique oriental charm and colorful changes, it fully embodies the wisdom and profound cultural heritage of the people of China. In the process of Beijing's bid to host the Olympic Games, Chinese knots, as a symbol of China's traditional culture, are deeply loved by friends from all over the world.
People in China learned to tie knots a long time ago. And "knot" has always played an important role in China people's life. One of the main reasons why knot is so important is that it is a very practical technology. This can be seen from many historical materials and traditional customs.
As early as the end of the Paleolithic period, that is, the remains of Zhoukoudian caveman culture, the existence of "bone needle" was discovered. Since there is a needle, there must be a rope at that time, so it is inferred that simple knotting and sewing techniques should have been formed at that time.
"Book of Changes" contains: "The ancient records were used by later saints to write books", and Zheng Xuan's "Book of Changes" also notes; As the saying goes, great things are tied to their ropes, and small things are summed up in their ropes. However, the figures and symbols seen on bronzes during the Warring States period still have the shape of knots. Judging from these historical materials, the structure has indeed been used as a tool to assist memory, and it can also be said that it is the predecessor of words.
