文学与艺术 Literature and art

Dear Tom,

Learning that you are interested in Chinese folk art, especially the weaving art, Im glad to tell you something about it.

The weaving art, dating back to over 1,000 years, is one of the Chinese native arts passed down by craftsmen from one generation to the next. Since the weaving art is popular among common people, the weaving materials are mainly from nature. Bamboos, silk threads, or some other vine plants are usually used to make chairs, pack baskets, curtains, baskets, decorations and so on.

Chinese knotting is generally regarded as one of the most outstanding decorations of the weaving art. The reason is that its not only a beautiful decoration with various shapes, it also symbolizes good luck and prosperity.

Here is a book on Chinese weaving art for you. I hope the book can help you know more about it.

Yours truly,

Li Hua
