Making Chinese Reincarnation Knot Bracelet (Good Fortune)

Knot-tying pre-dates the invention of writing systems and was previously used by our ancestors as a tool for record-keeping. Each knot tied on a rope represented a record of events. Ancient Chinese and Native Peruvians both shared this custom. Even in the modern world, some ethnic groups without writing systems continue to use this method to record information.

Today, knot-tying is mainly used for jewelry, clothing, ornaments, and more. The art of knot-tying is integrated with jewelry-making to develop modern craftwork with a visually appealing aesthetic and deeply symbolizing good fortune. The Chinese Knot is a well-known and unique type of traditional Chinese craftwork.
