Knotting, "the joining of two cords," is an old and revered art form in China and an integral part of Chinese life. Since ancient times, Chinese knots have been used for a variety of practical and decorative purposes: to record events, aid in fishing and hunting, wrap and tie items, embellish personal attire, jewelry and fashion, ornament other works of art, and communicate. The intricate knot work and magnificent color combinations not only lent elegance to everyday objects, or a touch of gaiety and enchantment but were an aesthetic expression of Chinese folk symbolism, expressing wishes for good fortune and wealth or the joys of love and marriage. In craft book Chinese Knotting, author Lydia Chen first traces the origins, history, and symbolism of this fascinating craft, before taking the reader through the fundamental elements necessary for tying Chinese decorative knots--the materials, implements, and main processes. Step-by-step instructions are then given for the 11 basic knots, which provide the building blocks for the 14 compound knots-combinations and variations of the simple knots-that follow in the next section. The final section presents 41 knotting projects of varying difficulty. Detailed instructions, clear diagrams, and color photographs, combined with an exciting assortment of creative applications, will help readers discover the relaxation, artistic satisfaction, and beautifully personalized ornamentation that Chinese Knotting can offer.

Chinese knotting means the joining of two cords. The cord is originally braided by our ancestors as a tool to bind and tie with knots. The knot is also an ancient means of recording, which is the precursor of Chinese characters. "Cord" in Chinese sounds similar to "God" in the language, and the shape of a cord is similar to that of a Chinese dragon, so the knot is considered sacred. Then the knot gradually evolves into a kind of decoration, which is endowed with the connotation of beauty. The Chinese knot is also a relatively common handicraft in our modern life, so it is named "Chinese knot." There are numerous ways of tying Chinese knots and their materials are various. Besides different types of cords, the materials could be paper strips, cloth strips, or even reed leaves. The Chinese knotting methods are countless. A seemingly simple cord can be transformed into a variety of objects through simple or complicated knotting. Each basic knot is made by weaving a single rope from the beginning to the end. After continuously and orderly shuttling and winding in between the rows of ropes, the rope forms symmetric knot ornaments, whose obverse and reverse sides are the same. Besides, the two ends of the rope are connected, and it seems the knots have no beginning or ending. The Chinese knots are tight bound, so they are unlikely to become loose when binding things. Therefore, they are very practical. The Chinese knots can be divided into three categories: basic knots, derivative knots, and combination knots. Apart from the skill required to master a variety of basic knotting techniques, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of each knot in order to make changes and combinations, or even to innovate new knots. Because of their unique oriental charm, and magical and various changes, Chinese knots attract more and more people. Like Chinese paintings, sculptures, and ceramics, Chinese knots are easily recognizable by foreigners nowadays. Chinese knots are unadorned, solemn, and elegant. People also name them after their shapes and symbolic meanings. The lucky knot implies auspiciousness and good luck. The Panchang knot represents continuation and longevity. The double coin knot means that good things happen in pairs and that the source of wealth is abundant. Each knot offers sincere blessings and great wishes. The Chinese knot is not only graceful and rich in implications, but also a valuable cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. It reflects the spiritual connotation of the Chinese nation to some extent. As part of the precious national cultural heritage, Chinese knotting is expected to flourish and add warmth and blessings to people's lives, as well as to bring joy and satisfaction to the makers.

In the hills of China’s central Hunan province, an anxious young apprentice officiates over a Daoist ritual known as the Banner Rite to Summon Sire Yin. Before a crowd of masters, relatives, and villagers—and the entire pantheon of gods and deceased masters ritually invited to witness the event—he seeks to summon Celestial Lord Yin Jiao, the ferocious deity who supplies the exorcistic power to protect and heal bodies and spaces from illness and misfortune. If the apprentice cannot bring forth the deity, the rite is considered a failure and the ordination suspended: His entire professional career hangs in the balance before it even begins. This richly textured study asks how the Banner Rite works or fails to work in its own terms. How do the cosmological, theological, and anthropological assumptions ensconced in the ritual itself account for its own efficacy or inefficacy? Weaving together ethnography, textual analysis, photography, and film, David J. Mozina invites readers into the religious world of ritual masters in today’s south China. He shows that the efficacy of rituals like the Banner Rite is driven by the ability of a ritual master to form an intimate relationship with exorcistic deities like Yin Jiao, which is far from guaranteed. Mozina reveals the ways in which such ritual claims are rooted in the great liturgical movements of the Song and Yuan dynasties (960–1368) and how they are performed these days amid the social and economic pressures of rural life in the post-Mao era. Written for students and scholars of Daoism and Chinese religion, Knotting the Banner will also appeal to anthropologists and comparative religionists, especially those working on ritual.
