2020 Plate Knot with Three Tassels – Jinfu China Knot for Festive Home Decor & Lunar New Year

The intricate symmetry of the 2020 Plate Knot radiates harmony and tradition.

When silk threads twist into thousand-year-old blessings, time seems to slow. Imagine an artisan’s hands, calloused yet delicate, weaving crimson cords through practiced fingers—one loop at a time. Each knot is not merely tied; it is whispered into being, infused with intention, memory, and hope. This is where the story of the 2020 Plate Knot with Three Tassels begins—not in mass production, but in quiet devotion. More than a decorative accent, this Jinfu China Knot carries within its weave a silent narrative of continuity, culture, and celebration.

Each tassel flows like a river of red silk, symbolizing distinct blessings.

Three Tassels, Three Wishes Woven in Silk

In Chinese philosophy, the number three resonates deeply—representing heaven, earth, and humanity; past, present, and future; or the sacred trinity of fortune, prosperity, and longevity. The three tassels of this elegant knot are no mere design choice—they are vessels of meaning. One tassel whispers of career advancement and clarity in purpose, ideal for those stepping into new ventures. Another sways gently with the promise of family health and emotional warmth, perfect for homes seeking balance. The third dances lightly, embodying personal growth and inner peace—a reminder that true abundance begins within.

Take the story of Mei Ling, a young architect who hung this very knot by her apartment’s entryway after moving into her first solo residence. Her grandmother paused upon seeing it, eyes softening. “That’s a real Jinfu knot,” she said, tracing the tassels with reverence. What followed was not just admiration, but a heartfelt conversation about heritage, beauty, and how traditions can find new life in minimalist spaces. That evening, two generations bonded over tea—and over a single piece of artistry that spoke without words.

From imperial palaces to contemporary living rooms—the journey of the Chinese knot continues.

From Palace Lanterns to Modern Living Rooms

The art of Chinese knotting dates back to the Han Dynasty, where knots served both practical and symbolic roles—from recording events to warding off misfortune. By the Ming and Qing dynasties, these intricate weaves adorned palace lanterns, ceremonial garments, and wedding chambers, signaling status and auspiciousness. Today, the Jinfu China Knot honors that legacy while embracing modern aesthetics. Its symmetrical plate structure holds firm against the chaos of urban life, offering visual calm and cultural depth.

Unlike fleeting holiday decorations, this knot bridges eras. It complements sleek Scandinavian interiors as effortlessly as it enhances traditional Asian décors. The 2020 Plate Knot stands out not only for its heritage but for its architectural precision—a layered, three-dimensional form that catches light differently throughout the day, revealing subtle shadows and textures unseen in flat ornaments.

Every loop and twist reflects meticulous handcrafting and timeless attention to detail.

Artistry You Can Feel

To hold this knot is to touch history. Crafted from high-twist silk cords, each strand resists fraying while maintaining a slight tactile resistance—like brushing against memory itself. The central “Fu” (福) character isn’t merely printed or glued; it emerges dimensionally from the knot’s core, formed entirely by interlaced loops. Step closer under morning light, and you may notice something magical: the shadow cast on your wall faintly outlines the same “Fu” shape—a hidden blessing revealed only when the sun aligns just right.

The metal accents are treated with antique gold plating using age-old techniques, giving them a subdued luster rather than flashy shine. When the tassels sway ever so slightly in a breeze, they emit a whisper-soft rustle, turning stillness into a gentle ritual. In a world of noise, this quiet presence becomes a meditation in motion.

A symbol of luck and belonging—across life’s milestones and continents.

A Blessing Beyond the New Year

While many associate Chinese knots with Lunar New Year, their significance extends far beyond one festival. Imagine gifting this knot as a wedding favor—each guest taking home a token of enduring love. Or presenting it during a housewarming, where its protective energy settles into fresh walls like an invisible guardian. For overseas Chinese families, it becomes more than décor—it’s a tactile connection to roots, a small anchor in a distant land.

Sophie, a mother living in Paris, hangs hers above her kitchen window every December. As she stirs dumpling fillings with her daughter, the knot sways gently behind them. “It smells like my childhood,” she says. “Not because of the food—but because of that red silk dancing in the light.” She calls it her “slow decoration”—something chosen once, cherished always, never discarded after the holidays end.

Even the shadow tells a story—can you see the 'Fu' in the light?

Let Luck Take Shape, Let Wishes Find a Home

In cities lit by neon and screens, we’ve traded candle flames for LED glow—but our need for meaning remains unchanged. The 2020 Plate Knot with Three Tassels offers a way to reclaim ritual in the everyday. It invites us to pause, to honor what matters, and to hang our hopes where we can see them. This isn’t just a decoration. It’s a silent prayer made visible, a legacy meant to be passed down, generation to generation.

Choose not just what looks beautiful, but what feels meaningful. Let your home tell a story—one loop, one tassel, one blessing at a time.
