中国结


    曾为她们着迷过,因为奇异于一根简单的绳子变成的戏法,看着一根绳子化作美丽的花结,简直是神奇。

    最简单的莫过于同心结,这是一种古老又寓意深长的花结,两个连着的结子,常用来象征爱情。若将中间两线绳向外拉,又可衍化成美丽的万字结。

    三环结、多环结可以用在任何一个需要编环耳的地方;方平结特点是方正、平整,纹路对称厚实,男子常用;绶带结把线双起来编,古代用在绶带上,正反面花案不一样;盘长结,形状象佛家的八宝之一 —— 盘长,又有八个环耳,民间称为"八吉祥"的即是;团锦结,多瓣、圆形、中心有孔,可以镶小珠子。
 
    还有更复杂的双钱结、蝴蝶结、如意结、葵花结、……每一个花结都象征一种动人的故事,每一个图案都寓意美丽而久远,设计者们或是一些女子罢,她们又在这美好的花结中,寄托了什么样的深情和希望呢?

    心有千千结。

 


    I use a cord to weave a reverie.

    Jie, most well-known Chinese folk kint art, charming for its diverse patterns and the underlying blessing meaning. They were first worn as decoration, weaved together with bijous and hung with fans, handkerchieves or incense purses. Nowadays, they could be seen quite popularly on mobile phones, suitcases, or car rearview mirrors.

    The most familiar pattern, Tong Xin Jie, "with one heart", is like a round-winged butterfly and always symbolizes a peaceful love. Fang Ping Jie, the diamond and lozenge, signifies power and strength, is always chosen by men. Pan Chang Jie, signifies Buddhism because it looks like "Pan Chang" which is one of the "Ba Bao" (eight treasures of Buddhists).
