    Chinese fancy knots are closely related to the everyday life of the Chinese people and express their aspiration for a better life.
    "In primitive times, people kept records by tying knots. Later, they used knots as symbols of good luck to decorate their clothes. Some knots were designed to embellish fans and jade pendants.

The instruments used include crochet hooks, tweezers, scissors, and lighters. The materials needed are string of various colors, gum, and small decorations made of porcelain or jade.
