  3. History • Chinese knotting is a decorative handicraft art that began as a form of Chinese folk art in the Tang and Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) in China.

  4. Archaeological studies indicate that the art of tying knots dates back to prehistoric times. Recent discoveries include 100,000-year old bone needles used for sewing and bodkins, which were used to untie knots.

  5. The phenomenon of knot tying continued to steadily evolve over the course of thousands of years with the development of more sophisticated techniques and increasingly intricate woven patterns. During the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) knotting finally broke from its pure folklore status, becoming an acceptable art form in Chinese society and reached the pinnacle of its success.

  6. Start with basics Lydia Chen lists 11 basic types of Chinese decorative knotwork in her first book. More complex knots are then constructed from repeating or combining basic knots. ——Chen, Lydia. [2003] (2003). Chinese Knotting: Creative Designs that are Easy and Fun. Tuttle Publishing.
