123. Destiny, The Culture Of China - Macramé
     Examples and information about traditional chinese knotting.  
     http://library.thinkquest.org/20443/macrame.html
     
     Extractions: Macramé With the advancement of civilization, Chinese people used knots for more than just fastening and wrapping. Knots were also used to record events, and some knots had purely ornamental functions. In 1980, some dedicated connoisseurs collected and arranged the decorative yet practical knots that have been passed down through the centuries in China. After studying the structures of these knots, the devotees set about creating new variations and increasing the decorative value of the knots. These exquisitely symmetrical knots which come in so many forms are as profound as the great cultural heritage of the Chinese people. The knots have thus been collectively named Chinese Macramé. the Beginnings of a piece of Macramé Chinese Macramé is based on over a dozen basic knots that are named according to their distinctive shapes, usages, or origins. For example, the Two Coins Knot is so named because it is shaped like two overlapping coins of the kind once used in ancient China. The Button Knot can actually function as a button. The basic form of the Pan-ch'ang Knot, which is actually a series of continuous loops, symbolizes the Buddhist conception of continuity and the origin of all things. Indeed, the Pan-ch'ang Knot is the primary knot of Chinese Macramé upon which an endless number of variations can be made. Chinese Macramé, like Chinese calligraphy, painting, porcelain, and even Chinese cooking, is easily recognizable to admirers of the Chinese culture. This is because the basic structures of Chinese Macramé cause it to differ greatly from Western or Japanese Macramé in shape and function.

They admire America because it is rich, which in a society as materialistic as China’s is the sum of all virtue.

As a result, they all believe that America deliberately bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, that it intentionally crashed one of its spy planes on Hainan, and that it defends Taiwan because it wants to keep China weak and divided.

Please note that two systems of transliteration (or approximation) of Chinese are still widely used the Wade-Giles system and the Pinyin system. See the following links for help with these matters, which are important if you are attempting to understand Taoism or Daoism through the medium of English.
