History
Chinese knotting is a
decorative handicraft art
that began as a form of
Chinese folk art in the Tang
and Song Dynasty (9601279 AD) in China.

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.

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.

knotwork in her first book. More complex knots are
then constructed from repeating or combining basic
knots.
