About this deal

Archaeological and literary evidence indicate that knots were used in China as a method of keeping records, especially to assist in governance. [7] [8] The practice had some similarities to the Incan practice of Quipu. [9] Several works of classical Chinese literature make reference to it. The Tao Te Ching (ca. 400 BCE) alludes to the practice in chapter 80. As translated by Wing-tsit Chan: [10] Xin Tangshu/ juan 216 shang" 新唐書/卷216上[New book of Tang/ Volume 216]. Wikisource. Archived from the original on 14 July 2020 . Retrieved 14 July 2020. Li’s later poems became increasingly morose and despairing. But her earlier works are full of joie de vivre and erotic desire. Like this one attributed to her: Knowledge and interest in Chinese knotting had declined considerably by the 1970s [28] :64 when Lydia Chen helped bring about a renewal of interest in the art form through the Chinese Knotting Promotion Center. [29] Chinese knotting has since become a popular symbol and souvenir in festivals and commodity markets. [7] [28] :64

As the practice of foot-binding makes brutally clear, social forces in China then subjugated women. And the impact can be appreciated by considering three of China’s greatest female figures: the politician Shangguan Wan’er (664-710), the poet Li Qing-zhao (1084-c.1151) and the warrior Liang Hongyu (c.1100-1135). All three women lived before foot-binding became the norm. They had distinguished themselves in their own right—not as voices behind the throne, or muses to inspire others, but as self-directed agents. Though none is well known in the West, the women are household names in China. In the period of the Republic of China (1912–1949), knots can be seen from modern Chinese culture without as much intricacy. For example, the pan kou, which already appeared before the Qing dynasty, [26] used knot button ornaments designed particularly for the cheongsam in this period. [27] 20th and 21st centuries [ edit ] Variety of pan kou typically used as a fastener for the cheongsam Wall and Crown Knot: This knot starts with a typical Crown Knot. After that, each strand is looped through its original path once again. This creates a ball-shaped stopper knot at the end of a rope. In Korea, decorative knot work is known as maedeup ( Korean: 매듭), often referred as Korean knotwork or Korean knots in English languages. [5] :16

For example, 'tuán jié' which means 'to unite,''jié hūn' means 'to marry,' and 'jié guŏ' means 'bear fruit,''result,' or 'outcome.' So a knot given to a marriage partner or a couple means all these things and having children as well. Modern Usage of Artistic Knots

The Eastern Han (25–220 CE) scholar Zheng Xuan, who annotated the Yi Jing, wrote that: [13] [5] :9 [ clarification needed] Liang grew up at a military base commanded by her father. Her education included military drills and learning the martial arts. In 1121, she met her husband, a junior officer named Han Shizhong. With her assistance he rose to become a general, and together they formed a unique military partnership, defending northern and central China against incursions by the Jurchen confederation known as the Jin kingdom. What’s unique about Tie Guan Yin, is that its fall harvest usually sells for just as much as the spring harvest. Why is this special? Fast forward to the 20th century, when tie dye experienced a resurgence in popularity. Thanks in part to the counterculture movement of the 1960s and ’70s, this ancient art form found new life. Today, tie dye continues to thrive, with designers drawing inspiration from China’s rich history to create fresh, modern styles. In Conclusion

Chinese exclusion operated, in theory, as a class-based regime that distinguished between “undesirable” and “desirable” immigrants on the basis of occupational categories and status. The Angell Treaty of 1880 enabled the United States to restrict immigration from China, but not to ban it outright. Thus, when Congress passed the Act to Restrict Chinese in 1882, it prohibited Chinese laborers while exempting other classes. These “exempt classes,” as delineated in the Act of 1884, held rights equivalent to immigrants from most-favored nations. In practice, however, officials did not always observe this fundamental class distinction, and certain actions of the U.S. government appeared designed to effect a de facto categorical exclusion of Chinese. By the turn of the twentieth century, especially after the appointment of labor leader Terence Powderly as Commissioner General of Immigration in 1897, the harassment of the exempt classes had become a source of serious friction with China. For many Chinese, the maltreatment of elites signaled that Americans held all Chinese, not merely the humble “coolies,” in contempt.In response to these tightenings, Wu repeatedly wrote Secretary of State John Hay protesting the “injustice and hardship suffered by” Chinese due to the “rigid enforcement” of the exclusion laws. Footnote 46 Challenging Griggs, Wu asserted that “to deny admission to other classes of Chinese than laborers is clearly contrary to the letter and spirit of the laws and treaties … and to the uninterrupted practice of the Executive Departments of the United States … from 1882 to 1898.” Footnote 47 Wu alleged that the new rulings had resulted in the exclusion of “a large class of Chinese of education, high rank, and business standing,” with harassment of elites amounting to a “virtual nullification” of treaty agreements. Footnote 48 Wu further contested restrictions on the student category as effectively closing the doors of U.S. higher education to “the Chinese race.” Footnote 49 The Bureau defended this action on the grounds that Chinese youths, “bearing every indication of being ordinary coolies,” attempted to skirt exclusion by entering the country as students. Footnote 50 Wu's diplomatic remonstrances against Chinese exclusion proved ineffectual. You Hemudu Wenhua faduan" 由河姆渡文化发端. 看点快报. Archived from the original on 15 July 2020 . Retrieved 15 July 2020.
