What is the connotation of Chinese knot?
It is well known that Chinese knots are exquisite, beautiful and auspicious, but if we say the connotation of Chinese knots, these are obviously not enough.

To know the connotation of Chinese knots, we must first know the origin of Chinese knots.

Chinese knots originated from ancient "knotting notes". There is a record in the copula of the Book of Changes: "In ancient times, the rule of law was based on knots, and later saints used bibliographic contracts easily." Zheng Xuan's Notes on Zhouyi in the Eastern Han Dynasty also said: "Knotting a rope is a record. Those who are important will make a big knot, and those who are small will make a rope."

It can be seen that the original function of Chinese knots is to record, so even after thousands of years, knots have gradually degenerated from information carriers to decorations, and Chinese knots still have the function of transmitting information, which is what we usually call "meaning".

Common symbolic Chinese knots are:

Ji (Ji) knot: Ji is a weapon and sounds "auspicious", so it is often given to men as a gift, which means successful career and bright future.

Qing knot: Qing is a musical instrument, homophonic "Qing", so it is often used as a gift knot for festive activities, especially for the elderly and believers.

Fish knot: make it fish-shaped. Fish is a very meaningful symbol in China culture. Fish knots can be implied not only by shape, but also by sound.

Algae well knot: Algae well is a common ceiling structure in large buildings (such as temples and palaces), which is square and flat. Algae well knot is quite meaningful in the cause of Anda.

Double happiness knot: it is basically for weddings, and it can also be added.

Xiangyun knot: good luck, pray for peace;

Tuanjin knot: a hundred flowers blossom and the future is bright;

Osmanthus knot: Osmanthus represents wealth and reunion. In ancient times, it was often used to refer to the success of scientific research, so osmanthus knot is suitable for sending to family or students.

Ruyi knot: all the best.

Double money knot: it looks like two copper coins overlapping together, meaning wealth and "yes-man"

Shoujie: shaped like the official script "Shouzi", it is designed to celebrate longevity and can be sent to the elderly at ordinary times.

Concentric knot: it is a multi-purpose love and can also be given to couples.

Peace knot: Bottle beads are often used instead of the word "flat", which is suitable for car hanging or wall hanging.

It can be seen that the significance of Chinese knots is not limited to one aspect. As the saying goes, "the heart has a Qian Qian knot", and it is quite oriental to express one's wishes implicitly through Chinese knot ornaments. And our commonly used words such as "knot", "combination" and "couplet" still retain the original serious meaning of Chinese knot. Therefore, if you must say the connotation of Chinese knots, it is probably to convey your mind ~

I hope my answer is helpful to you.
