Archaeological studies indicate that the art of tying knots dates back to prehistoric times. Recent discoveries include 100,000-year old bone needles used for sewing and bodkins, which were used to untie knots. However, due to the delicate nature of the medium, few examples of prehistoric Chinese knotting exist today. Some of the earliest evidence of knotting have been preserved on bronze vessels of the Warring States period (481–221 BCE), Buddhist carvings of the Northern Dynasties period (317–581) and on silk paintings during the Western Han period (206 BCE–CE6). 考古研究表明，系结艺术可以追溯到史前时代。最近的发现包括用作缝纫和订针用途的有着10万年历史之久的骨针，当时是被用来解开系好的结。然而，由于材质本身的脆弱性，只有很少几件史前中国结尚存于今。一些更早的系结证据都被保存在战国时期的青铜器，北朝时期的佛雕还有西汉时期的丝画上。  Further references to knotting have also been found in literature, poetry and the private letters of some of the most infamous rulers of China. In the 1700s, one book that talked extensively about the art was Dream of the Red Chamber[3]. 进一步的系结来源，也被发现在中国一些文学作品（如诗歌、小说）和私人信函中。《红楼梦》就对这种艺术作了广泛的探讨 The phenomenon of knot tying continued to steadily evolve over the course of thousands of years with the development of more sophisticated techniques and increasingly intricate woven patterns. During the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) knotting finally broke from its pure folklore status, becoming an acceptable art form in Chinese society and reached the pinnacle of its success. Knotting 随着更先进的技术和编织图案日益复杂化的发展，系结现象在千百年来过程中持续稳步演变。在清朝织结终于突破了本身单纯的民俗地位，从而成为了一个在中国社会被认可的传统艺术形式， continued to flourish up until about the end of imperial China and the founding of the Republic of China in 1911 AD when China began its modernization period[1]. From 1912 to the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976, the art of Chinese knotting was almost lost[1]. 并登峰造极。织结艺术持续蓬勃发展，直到1911年辛亥革命，帝国统治结束，中华民国成立，与此同时中国开始进入现代化建设时期。从1949年中华人民共和国成立到1976年文化大革命结束，中国织结艺术在中国大陆几乎失传，但于港澳地区仍然有人视之为休闲嗜好，因此并未完全消失。  In the late 1970s a resurgence of interest occurred in Taiwan, largely due to the efforts of Lydia Chen (Chen Hsia-She
