中国结的介绍（Introduction of Chinese Knot）

          相信大家也了解过结绳记事，它在历史上也早有记载。从战国时期至唐宋时期，中国结开始慢慢被大量地运用于服饰和器物装饰中。古人尚玉，《尔雅义疏》中记载“佩玉之组条，用以连贯玉者，也叫纶，用丝绳婉转结之”。出土文物显示，早在战国时期，就已出现了众多种类的佩玉绳结。此外，古代的印章、铜镜大都有印钮、镜钮来系绳以便佩戴或手持。明清时期，中国结的发展达到鼎盛，出现各种用途、各种名称、各种样式的中国结，使中国结由一种装饰提升为一种艺术。

然而，从1949年中华人民共和国成立到1976年文化大革命结束，中国织结艺术在中国大陆几乎失传，但于港澳地区仍然有人视之为休闲嗜好，因此并未完全消失。直到在1970年代末，织结之风，才在台湾复兴。

如今，中国结的历史贯穿于人类史始终，漫长的文化沉淀使得中国结富含中华民族特有的丰富文化底蕴。人们已经把它重新定义为项链、手镯、耳坠、头饰、发夹等等的服饰配件及装饰品。

I believe everyone has learned about the “knotting cords to record events”, and it has long been recorded in history. From the Warring States Period to the Tang and Song Dynasties, Chinese knots began to be used in a large number of clothing and utensil decorations. The ancients admired jade, “Er Ya Yi Shu” recorded “Rope used to connect the jade, also called Lun, tactfully knotted with silk rope." Unearthed cultural relics show that as early as the Warring States period, many types of jade knots had appeared. In addition, most of the ancient seals and bronze mirrors have printed buttons and mirror buttons to tie ropes for wearing or holding. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the development of Chinese knots reached its peak, with various uses, various names and various styles of Chinese knots, which promoted Chinese knots from decoration to art.

However, from the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 to the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976, Chinese weaving knot art was almost lost in mainland China, but it is still regarded as a leisure hobby in Hong Kong and Macau, so it has not completely disappeared. It was not until the end of the 1970s that the Chinese weaving knot art revived in Taiwan.

Nowadays, the history of the Chinese knot runs through the history of mankind, and the long cultural precipitation makes the Chinese knot rich in cultural heritage unique to the Chinese nation. People have redefined it as clothing accessories and decorations such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, headdresses, hairpins and so on.
