Origin of Button: Garments and Knots

Time of issue:2022-04--19
China has a peculiar and long button development history. The button was known as “Sheng Jie (knot)” at the earliest. “Sheng (rope)” is homophonic with “Shen (deity)”, likes a winding dragon, and becomes the embodiment of deity. “Jie (knot)” is homophonic with “Ji (luck)” which has rich content covering blessing, salary, longevity, happiness and wealth. In classical literature, “Jie (knot)” symbolizes the love of men and women. The rich emotions of human are like the changeful “Jie (knot)”. Therefore, “Sheng Jie (knot)” reflected the good wish of pursuing the true, the good and the beautiful and religious belief in ancient times. The button has developed from S-shaped knot at the waist, the “ribbon” in the Zhou dynasty, “the brocade belt was used to tie a knot at the waist, symbolizing the love of men and women” in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, “silk clothes with ribbon knots” in the flourishing Tang Dynasty, and “the ribbon tied at the waist” to the “button” used by the cheongsam in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, reflecting its position in the Chinese traditional garment. Through thousands of years of evolution, the button replaces “Sheng Jie (knot)” in modern times. Today the ancient “knot” is collectively known as the “Chinese knot” and has a wider range of decorative functions. The “knot” still exerts a far-reaching influence on the modern dress culture.
