中国结的二维和三维结构Chinese knot of 2 d and 3 d structure
我们的祖先结绳记事，开创了绳子的文化历史。延续到我们手里，就是现在的中国绳结艺术。用绳子创造出的种种结构的构成，就是中国结的结字所指。所以中国人编绳子的结构就是中国绳结艺术的概论。
Our ancestors ,for keeping records by tying knots, created the history about the rope culture.Tying knots is called the art of Chinese knot now .The meaning of the knot in the words of Chinese knot refer to the meaning of weaving a variety of graphical structure with string .
且不说在远古，绳文化是祖先的图腾文化，是祭祀活动中的主角。就说传统的络子文化，在曹雪芹写的《红楼梦》的年代，是封建贵族生活中，最常态化的装饰之物。通过曹氏的文章，我们知道了，绳结艺术在明清时期是十分盛行的，也了解了这种文化的历史地位。
In ancient times, Chinese knot is ancestor's totem culture, and the important role in the ritual of the sacrifice .In the Qing dynasty , traditional Chinese knots, showed in the "a dream of red mansions" written by Cao xueqin , were popular in the feudal aristocratic life. Chinese knots , showed by "A dream of red mansions" ,were a kind of structure of plane .The structure of the cord is a two-dimensional space, similar to the relief in sculpture art.Two-dimensional line structure is the heritage of cultural . This is the first knot art peak in history.
绳结艺术历史传承的第二个高峰期，也是在当下活着的人们的记忆印痕。上世纪六、七十年代,全民间的编玻璃丝活动。不分大小城市，不分男女老幼，不分职业学历，人们热衷在街头巷尾及各种场合，互相切磋这种编结技艺。这个时期的作品，已经不局限在二维的结构了，出现了三维立体的编结作品。现在论坛里的蝴蝶、虾、鱼、青蛙、喇叭花、玫瑰花等，都是从那个年代留传下来的。
The second peak ,in the history of the knot art, is the 60’s - 70’s last century. At that time, many people over all country ,were keen on the skill how to weave the Chinese knots .Works of this period were not limited in the two-dimensional structure,and developed a three-dimensional works , such as butterfly, shrimp, fish, frogs, morning glory, and roses .
曹雪芹的络子文化，准确地讲就是平面的中国传统装饰结，它的绳编结构是在二维空间的演绎变化，类似雕塑艺术中的浮雕艺术。我们编的立体绳结是三维空间概念的作品，类似雕塑艺术中的圆雕艺术。从绳编结构分类上区别，二维绳结构概念是历史传承的文化遗产。三维绳结构概念是近现代的，也是历史传承发展后，又衍生的新生代的产物。这些绳结构的存在，无论是继承的，还是后来创新的，都是我们中华民族文化遗产大家庭中的宝贵财富。在我们手里都应该保护继承和发展。同时也是会必登大雅之堂的民族瑰宝。
What we compiled the three-dimensional knots was the work of three dimensional space ,like as a round art of sculpture . The rope structure with three-dimensional is modern, but also inheriting the historical achievements, and the development of modern products.These knotting art, whether it is inherited or innovation later, are our precious wealth of the cultural heritage in the big family of the Chinese nation.
还是那句话，绳子虽不起眼，里面大有乾坤。热爱它，尊重它，它会展示在全世界的文化舞台上，并展现出中国人的智慧，传递着我们的思想和信念、情感和友谊。
Although the rope is humble, it contains a lot of culture .We should love it, respect it.When it appears on the world cultural stage, they show the wisdom of the Chinese people, and convey our thoughts, beliefs, emotions and friendship.
