I was wondering whether it would be correct to change the "China" in

This is because the colour red symbolises good luck and prosperity in China.

[edit] Bong Sool

In the midst of fixing up this article, can someone suggest what exactly "Bong Sool tassel" looks like?? Benjwong 22:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Note that "Bong Sool" is a Korean name and that knot is mentioned in the Chinese section. Arghc 00:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Knot names

In a previous edit, names of the knots were taken from http://www.chineseknotting.org/. Those names are based on "knot family" names which are unique to that site and not common usage. As Lydia Chen is quoted as the authority (completely proper) the text has been corrected to her names as found in the English translation of her book. Arghc 00:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I added an alternate name column, because there really is more than 1 name. Benjwong 01:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough, but keep Lydia's names in the main column. Of course for each knot there are unending numbers of alternate names... Arghc 01:16, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Surely the title of the article should refer to the art form (Chinese knotting) rather than the object itself (Chinese knot)? Pretzelpaws 19:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
