Since ancient times, Chinese knots have been closely connected with Chinese people's lives, and have gradually evolved from the initial practical rope to a handicraft with great aesthetic value. As early as the late Neolithic period, people began to use various knots to record events or express specific meanings. By the Zhou Dynasty, knots had developed into a form of blessing and prayer. With the passage of time, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Chinese knots reached their heyday, with a wide variety of complex and exquisite patterns, which became the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation.

The reason why the Chinese knot can be unique among many folk crafts is not only because of its beautiful and generous design, but also because of its profound cultural heritage and rich social functions.
