Chinese knot 中国结

The Chinese knot is one of the well-known Chinese icons. The knotting techniques date back as early as 476 BC when the knots were mainly used for recording and regulating things. Later, knotting developed additional meanings in poetry and literature as knots are pronounced the same as "connecting" and "bonding," symbolizing love and togetherness.

The symmetry of Chinese knots also represents Chinese decorative customs and aesthetic ideas.
