The Back StoryMore: The tradition of the Chinese Braided Knot is part of an ancient weaving art. Initially made for practical purposes, these knots have been used by the people of Chinese as ornamentation since the Han Dynasty. Although knot patterns can look quite elaborate and complicated, they are created using basic knot-tying techniques. "Knot" in Chinese represents warmth, reunion, friendliness, marriage, etc., so the Chinese Braided Knot has come to symbolize happiness, prosperity, reunion, luck, harmony, and love. These hand-made knots are typically given to friends and family during the Lunar New Year.
