Chinese Knotting

Traditional Chinese KnotsChinese knot (Chinese: 中國结 ) is a decorative handicraft arts that began as a form of Chinese folk art in the Tang and Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) in China. It was later popularized in the Ming and Qing Dynasty (1368-1911 AD). The art is also referred to as Chinese traditional decorative knots[1]. In other cultures, it is known as "Decorative knots".HistoryArchaeological 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. However, due to the delicate nature of the medium, few examples of prehistoric Chinese knotting exist today. Some of the earliest evidence of knotting have been preserved on bronze vessels of the Warring States period (481-221 BCE), Buddhist carvings of the Northern Dynasties period (317-581) and on silk paintings during the Western Han period (206 BCE-CE6).Further references to knotting have also been found in literature, poetry and the private letters of some of the most infamous rulers of China. In the 1700s, one of the book to talk extensively about the art was the book Dream of the Red Chamber[2].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. Knotting continued to flourish up until about the end of imperial China and the founding of the Republic of China in 1911 AD when China began its modernization period[1]. From 1912 to the end of the cultural revolution in 1976, the art of Chinese knotting was almost lost[1].In the late 1970s a resurgence of interest occurred in Taiwan, largely due to the efforts of Lydia Chen (Chen Hsia-Sheng) of the National Palace Museum who founded the Chinese Knotting Promotion Center. In the 1980s, Mrs. Chen focused her energies on the knotting artifacts preserved during the Qing Dynasty. Currently, Chinese knotting enjoys wide popularity in Taiwan with numerous specialty shops to be found.

近年來 , 有是增長的興趣在中國打結在新澤西上 , 特別在中國學校。不僅學生愛學會藝術 , 父母並且變得相當感興趣和包含。

2001 年 , 作者進行三十三所中國學校勘測在新澤西看多少所學校有打結節目。結果表明 ,13333 所學校有類在打結。學生的總數註冊了在類是 365 。有學生的最大的數量的學校是華人學校。 160 名學生在學校 ,

120 有指示在打結。在其它學校之中 , 中間澤西中國學校 , 團結的中國學校 , Murray 小山中國學校和 Weide 中國學校全部有相對地學生的大數字介入打結。在勘測之時 , 四所更加中國的學校已經有計劃為介紹打結 , 並且16 所學校的剩餘會希望拿著類但有短缺老師。有一共大約 13 位到 14 位老師 , 但沒有有標準打結說明書。許多使用老文本他們帶來或定貨從臺灣 ; 其他人創造了他們自己的教材。至於打結的供應 , 螺紋必須所有來自臺灣因為螺紋被製作這裡不是足夠僵硬的。 最適當的年齡使學生學會打結是大約 10 年紀。初學者必須首先掌握簡單的結 , 譬如平結 , 連接結和瘦長結。以後被掌握 14 不同基本的類型結和這种三三維西部被影響的打結的方法 , 學生準備好創造不同程度他們自己的對象困難。

勘測並且顯露 , 興趣在打結上增長 , 特別是在成人之中。學生的許多父母是特別熱心的。中間澤西中國學校的成人類是例子。大約 40 個父母在成人類無法等待直到學校開始磨刀在他們打結的技能。達成協議學校的校長 , 栓中國結要求耐心、實踐、熟記 , 和 creativity—the 被哺育在中國書法和繪畫的同樣類型技能。

成功的老師 , 譬如徐・ Shenzheng 女士周・ Shenghong, Wang Manli, 楊・ Lintai 和廣泛陳列了在新澤西和創造了大範圍對象為他們的保留節目。他們的顯示吸引了大量觀眾由於五顏六色的對象複雜和廣品種。小對象 , 譬如頭髮扣緊 , 被打結的按鈕、耳環、項鏈、 broaches 、風扇裝飾、花安排、鐲子 , 等是許多觀察者喜愛。其他人讚賞複雜鳥、烏龜、金魚、青蛙、蝴蝶、龍、起重機 , 和蝦。有還微型水果和蔬菜 , 譬如玉米 , 香蕉 , 和菠蘿。其它高度複雜牆壁 hangings 用玉、花瓶、黏土小珠、被編織的竹籃子 , 和傳統宮殿燈籠被做。這些對象不僅反射 artists’ 單獨口味和技巧 , 而且中國民族特性。 中國打結的歷史去回到史前時期。打結發源作為記錄歷史事件方法。一個大結符號化了一次重要 , 主要事件 ; 一個小結符號化了較小事件。結並且來符號化愛在二個戀人之間。唐朝詩人 , Meng 焦寫了在結的多維意思 ; 結戀人 , 為丈夫從家 , 為妻子渴望她的丈夫。愛和渴望的感覺由“ knot 完全符號化 , ” 並且它顯示永久地方打結有在中國人民的心臟。

      

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in Chinese knotting in New Jersey, particularly in the Chinese schools. Not only do the students love to learn the art, the parents have also become quite interested and involved.

In 2001, the author conducted a survey of thirty-three Chinese schools in New Jersey to see how many schools had knotting programs. The results indicate that 13 of the 33 schools had classes in knotting. The total number of students enrolled in the classes was 365. The school that had the largest number of students was the Hua-ren School. Of the 160 students in the school, 120 had instruction in knotting. Among the other schools, Mid-Jersey Chinese School, United Chinese School, Murray Hill Chinese School and Weide Chinese School all had relatively large number of students involved in knotting. At the time of the survey, four more Chinese schools already had plans for introducing knotting, and the rest of the 16 schools would have liked to hold classes but there was a shortage of teachers. There are altogether some 13 to 14 teachers, but none of them have standard knotting instruction manuals. Many use old texts they brought or ordered from Taiwan; others created their own teaching materials. As for the knotting supplies, the threads all had to come from Taiwan because the threads made here were not stiff enough.

The most appropriate age for the students to learn knotting is around 10 years of age. The beginners must first master the simple knots, such as the flat-knot, the linked-knots and elongated-knots. After having mastered the 14 different basic types of knots and the three kinds of three-dimensional Western influenced knotting methods, the students are ready to create their own objects of varying degrees of difficulty.

The survey also revealed that interest in knotting is growing, especially among the adults. Many parents of the students are especially enthusiastic. The adult-class of the Mid-Jersey Chinese School is an example. About 40 parents in the adult class cannot wait until the school begins to hone in on their knotting skills. According the principal of the school, the tying of Chinese knots requires patience, practice, memorization, and creativity—the same type of skills that are nurtured in Chinese calligraphy and painting.

The accomplished teachers, such as Ms. Chou Shenghong, Wang Manli, Yang Lintai and Xu Shenzheng have exhibited widely in New Jersey and have created a wide range of objects for their repertoire. Their displays attracted a large audience because of the intricacy and wide variety of colorful objects. Small objects, such as hair-clasps, knotted buttons, earrings, necklaces, broaches, fan decorations, flower arrangements, bracelets, etc. are the favorite of many viewers. Others appreciate the intricate birds, turtles, gold fish, frogs, butterflies, dragons, cranes, and shrimps. There are also miniature fruits and vegetable, such as corn, bananas, and pineapples. Other highly complex wall hangings are made with jades, vases, clay beads, woven bamboo baskets, and traditional palace lanterns. These objects not only reflect the artists’ individual taste and skill, but also Chinese national character.

The history of Chinese knotting goes back to prehistoric times. Knotting originated as a method of recording historical events. A large knot signified an important, major event; a small knot signified a minor event. Knots also came to signify love between two lovers. The Tang poet, Meng Jiao wrote on the multi-dimensional meaning of knots; knots for the lover, for the husband away from home, for the wife longing for her husband. The feelings of love and    

當藝術打結通過了下來從世代到世代 , 它被變換了從它嚴密地功能應用到一藝術性和裝飾一個。在 19 世紀期間 , 打結到達了它的峰頂。從皇家下來對民眾 , 中國結被使用裝飾皇家的衣物、高的官員蓋帽 , 他們的傳送帶和框格、劍鞘、支架裝飾 , 和現代天時興的婦女的 cheomsam 褂子。許多裝飾結是在顯示在宮殿博物館 , 包括結被使用裝飾燈花瓶和宮殿夫人的頭飾的垂懸的裝飾。藝術性和技巧到達了高峰。

在中國民間藝術的歷史上 , 打結佔領一個突出的地方由於它的藝術性和秀麗 , 但它有它高潮和低谷根據變動的時間。今天 , 當我們的生活成為 westernized, 打結丟失了厚待和開始 decline 以便藝術幾乎死了。

在 60 年代 , 臺灣促進了和使藝術打結充滿活力。民間藝術專家被鼓勵尋找仍然知道藝術打結做示範和被採訪的長輩。夏省陳女士宮殿博物館和中國雜誌聲音共同努力和系統地介紹了打結給中國和西部觀眾 , 和稱它“Chinese 打結 (Zhongguo jie).” 當時間繼續 , 越□越人民接受了它 , 並且它再現在變得時興。類在打結開始突然出現到處。因而 , 這中國藝術 , 是休眠為半個世紀 , 復興了在臺灣。

80s 是打結的金黃期間在臺灣。不僅是它時興的 , 甚而產業變得對導致衣物、裝飾 , 和新 Year’s 禮物感興趣使用各種各樣的種類裝飾結。他們由人民很好接受了。

1985 年 , 藝術家女士 Jinqin 陳 Chen-Lin 從臺灣搬到美國和與她來了藝術打結。當她到達了在狀態 , 她開始促進藝術並且她的名譽很快到達了中國學校在新澤西 , 並且興趣從那以後未消退。

中國打結作為受到的越□越注意在新澤西。人們譬如 Marjorie 李和其他人相信 , 打結是有許多複雜的水平和有室為進一步創造性的藝術。它並且有市場潛力。如果藝術可能合併一些西部元素 , 與這种正確的促進一起 , 中國人打結可能有其它新生。

在這文字之時 , 英國指示為中國打結被完成。很快它將可利用在高中藝術課並且人們能找到指示在 DVD 以逐步的示範由一位主要藝術家 , 周・ Shenghong 夫人。 愉快打結 !

As the art of knotting was passed down from generation to generation, it was transformed from its strictly functional application to an artistic and decorative one. During the 19th century, knotting reached its peak. From the imperial family down to the common people, Chinese knots were used to ornament the clothing of the imperial family, the caps of high officials, their belts and sashes, sword sheaths, carriage decorations, and cheomsam gowns of the modern day fashionable women. Many decorative knots are on display at the Palace Museum, including the knots used to embellish snuff bottles and the hanging decorations of the headdresses of the palace ladies. The artistry and craftsmanship had reached a high point.

In the history of Chinese folk arts, knotting occupies a prominent place because of its artistry and beauty, but it had its ups and downs depending on the changing times. Today, as our lives become more westernized, knotting has lost favor and began to decline so that the art has almost died out.

In the 1960s, Taiwan promoted and rejuvenated the art of knotting. Folk art specialists were encouraged to seek out the elders who still knew the art of knotting to do demonstrations and to be interviewed. Ms. Xia-sheng Chen of the Palace Museum and The Voice of China magazine worked together and systematically introduced knotting to the Chinese and Western audience, and calling it “Chinese Knotting (Zhongguo jie).” As time went on, more and more people accepted it, and now it has become fashionable again. Classes in knotting began popping up everywhere. Thus, this Chinese art, which had been dormant for half a century, was revived on Taiwan.

The 80s was the golden period of knotting on Taiwan. Not only was it fashionable, even industries became interested in producing clothing, decorations, and New Year’s gifts using various kinds of decorative knots. They were well received by the people.

In 1985, the artist Ms. Jinqin Chen-Lin moved from Taiwan to the United States and with her came the art of knotting. As soon as she arrived in the States, she began to promote the art and soon her reputation reached the Chinese schools in New Jersey, and the interest has not abated since.

Chinese knotting as received more and more attention in New Jersey. People such as Marjorie Li and others believe that knotting is an art that has many levels of complexity and has much room for further creativity. It also has market potential. If the art can incorporate some Western elements, together with the right kind of promotion, Chinese knotting can have another renaissance.

At the time of this writing, the English instruction for Chinese knotting is being completed. Soon it will available in the high school art classes and people will be able to find instruction on DVD with step-by-step demonstrations by a master artist, Mrs. Chou Shenghong.

Happy Knotting!  

歷史 考古學研究表明 , 栓結藝術 , 由漢語字典 Shuo Wen Chieh Tzu 最簡單地定義了像 " 加入二根繩子 ", 由中國人民有擴大幾乎 70,000 - 100,000 年的一份遺產。最近研究結果包括00,000

年老骨頭針被使用為縫合和 Bodkins, 儀器被使用解開結被發現顯露結栓的這古老傳統。但是 ,

由於媒介的固有精美本質 , 少量現存例子史前中國打結今天存在。一些打結的最早期的證據被

保存了在戰國時期 (481-221 BCE), 北朝代期間 (317-581 的 ) 佛教雕刻的古銅色船並且在絲綢

繪畫在西部韓期間 (206 BCE-CE6) 。在打結的進一步參考並且被發現了在文學、詩歌和一些的私有信件中國最臭名昭著的統治者。從這些珍貴的人工製品 , 它是不容置疑的 , 結是中國人民的日常生活的固有和整體部分。

一些專家建議中國人打結的起源可能被追蹤回到一個文化期間在最近被命名了“被打結的 繩子文化 " 的歷史上。崇拜被打結的繩子或繩索由中國人民是一種有趣和 multifaceted 現象。例如 , 實際期限為 "繩索 " 有相似的發音和微妙的鏈接在意味對期限 "精神 " 和 "占卦 " 。因而

, 結珍惜和被灌輸了以深刻精神和宗教意思。換句話說 , 繩索的操作使用做神聖的對象崇拜。而且 , 繩索承擔了增加的文化和精神意義由於這樣的事實被打結的繩子類似了一條捲起的龍。隨後 , 龍精神的顯示被灌輸了在這個期間複雜繩索設計。因為中國人民認為自己是龍的後裔 , 繩索或被打結的繩子被使用做神聖的對象獻身 , 用於成一體社會整個。因而 , 藝術打結不僅multifarious, 而且普遍在中國人民之中。

簡單地打結無法被視為作為僅僅夥計或休閒藝術。以它的最基本的形式 , 打結的功能和實用重要性在中國社會是不容置疑的。實際上 , 結是為書面和象徵性通信、紀錄方法保持和發生在時間期間意味深長的歷史事件的一個象徵性表示法的依據。例如 , 事件重要由栓結象徵了 ; 結的大小或肚帶是倚賴在重要性事件的意義被歸檔。

Archaeological studies indicate that the art of tying knots, which has been most simply defined by the Chinese dictionary Shuo Wen Chieh Tzu as "the joining of two cords", by the Chinese people has a legacy that extends back nearly 70,000 - 100,000 years. Recent findings including 100,000-year old bone needles used for sewing and Bodkins, instruments used to untie knots have been discovered to reveal this ancient tradition of knot tying. However, due to the inherent delicate nature of the medium, few extant examples of prehistoric Chinese knotting exist today. Some of the earliest evidence of knotting have been preserved on bronze vessels of the Warring States period (481-221 BCE), Buddhist carvings of the Northern Dynasties period (317-581) and on silk paintings during the Western Han period (206 BCE-CE6). Further references to knotting have also been found in literature, poetry and the private letters of some of the most infamous rulers of China. From these precious artifacts, it is undeniable that knots were an inherent and integral part of the everyday life of the Chinese people.

Some experts have suggested that the origins of Chinese knotting can be traced back to a cultural period in history that has more recently been termed a "knotted cord culture". The worshipping of knotted cord or rope by the Chinese people is both an interesting and multifaceted phenomenon. For instance, the actual term for "rope" has similar pronunciation and subtle links in meaning to the terms "spirit" and "divine". Thus, knots were cherished and imbued with profound spiritual and religious meaning. In other words, the manipulation of rope was used to make sacred objects of worship. Moreover, rope took on added cultural and spiritual significance due to the fact that knotted cord resembled a coiled dragon. Subsequently, manifestations of dragon spirits were imbued in the intricate rope designs of this period. Since the Chinese people believed themselves to be descendants of the dragon, rope or knotted cord was used to make sacred objects of devotion, serving to unify the society at large. Thus, the art of knotting was not only multifarious, but also commonplace among the Chinese people.

Knotting simply cannot be looked upon as mere folk or leisure art. Even in its most rudimentary form, the functional and practical importance of knotting in Chinese society is undeniable. In fact, the knot was the basis for written and symbolic communication, a method of record keeping and a symbolic representation of meaningful historical events that occurred over time. For instance, events of importance were symbolized by the tying of knots; the size or girth of the knot itself was reliant upon the importance of significance of the event being archived.

                                                                     

其它打結的重要方面是審美表示它的純淨。例如繁體中文裝扮 , 包括禮服 , 夾克並且夜服裝經常被提高了以被打結的腰部框格、傳送帶裝飾品和按鈕結。另外 , 中國按鈕結不僅工作和耐久的比去骨按鈕 , 但並且是一種醒目的裝飾對服裝被人類佩帶和婦女。另外 , 共同的家庭對象用高度複雜地被編織的結經常被裝飾了被裝飾與玉或小珠。樂器、劍、燈籠、水罐和鏡子用仔細地被製作的和精美地被扭轉的手工製造繩子裝飾了。

中國結的抒情節奏、滿不在乎強度顏色 , 高度被定義的紋理和被選派的樣式深深地糾纏在folkloric 傳統。它是顯然的 , 裝飾 knotwork 是成熟的以象徵性意思。有當前 18 基本的類型中國

結: 包括 "發怒結 ", "圓環栓 " 和 " 中國短繩結 " 命名一些。某些結譬如 "神秘的結 " 樣式以它的表面

上不盡和反覆樣式召喚一佛教根本真相和所有存在的週期本質。實質上 , knotwork 用於製造福利氣氛、好運氣和健康、長壽和和諧。作為禮物 , 他們是情感 , 感傷的 , 和經常是紀念品在戀人和朋友之間。

結現象栓繼續平穩地演變在數以萬計幾年中以更加老練的技術和越來越複雜被編織的樣式的發展。裝飾 knotwork 最後會到達大眾化它的石峰在 Ching 朝代 (1644-1911 期間 ) 。最後打結打破了從它純淨的 folkloric 狀態和成為了可接受的藝術形式在中國社會。打結繼續茂盛直到大約1911 年西元當中國體驗現代化。而且 , 西部科學和技術彙集最後證明了較不實用關心譬如打結是相當過時。

它是顯然的 , 中國打結的傳統有長和細歷史。這表面上永恆的藝術形式的永存由 Lydia 陳 ( 陳・Hsia 省 ) 獨自帶領了。這打結的運動最初地復蘇了在 60 年代 70 年代由陳。在 80 年代 , 陳夫人集

中她的能量於打結的人工製品被保存在 Ching 朝代期間。並且一實踐的 knotter, 陳的不退讓和感動的興趣在這藝術形式上不僅揭露了歷史人工製品 , 但使這種休眠工藝恢復生氣當推進它的生計和發展入未來。

Another critical aspect of knotting is its purity of aesthetic expression. For instance traditional Chinese garb, including dresses, jackets and night attire were oftentimes enhanced with knotted waist sashes, belt ornaments and button knots. In addition, Chinese button knots were not only functional and more durable than bone buttons, but were also a striking ornamentation to apparel worn by both men and women alike. In addition, common household objects were often adorned with highly intricately woven knots embellished with jade or beads. Musical instruments, swords, lanterns, jugs and mirrors were decorated with carefully crafted and delicately twisted handmade cord.

The lyrical rhythm, unabashed intensity of color, highly defined texture and detailed patterns of Chinese knots are deeply entwined in folkloric tradition. It is evident that decorative knotwork is ripe with symbolic meaning. There are currently 18 basic types of Chinese knots: including the "cross knot", "ring hitch" and the "Chinese lanyard knot" to name a few. Certain knots such as the "mystic knot" pattern with its seemingly endless and repetitive pattern evokes one of the fundamental truths of Buddhism and the cyclical nature of all existence. In essence, knotwork serves to create an atmosphere of well-being, good luck and health, longevity and harmony. As gifts, they are emotional, sentimental, and are often keepsakes between lovers and friends.

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. Decorative knotwork would ultimately reach its pinnacle of popularity during the Ching Dynasty (1644-1911). Knotting finally broke from its pure folkloric status and became an acceptable art form in Chinese society. Knotting continued to flourish up until about 1911 AD when China was experiencing modernization. Moreover, the influx of Western science and technology ultimately proved less practical concerns such as knotting to be rather obsolete.

It is evident that the tradition of Chinese knotting has had a long and tenuous history. The perpetuation of this seemingly timeless art form was single-handedly spearheaded by Lydia Chen (Chen Hsia-Sheng). This knotting movement was initially revitalized in the 1960s-1970s by Chen. In the 1980s, Mrs. Chen focused her energies on the knotting artifacts preserved during the Ching Dynasty. Also a practicing knotter herself, Chen's unrelenting and impassioned interest in this art form has not only uncovered historical artifacts, but has reinvigorated this dormant craft while propelling its livelihood and development into the future.
