In China, the earliest buttons can be traced back to 1800 years ago. At first, buttons were mainly stone buttons, wooden buttons and shell buttons, and later they were developed into buttons and knots made of cloth.
From the initial functional fasteners to clothing decoration, rope buckles have played a great role in the history of our clothing development. China button is a kind of button form of traditional clothing in China, which is sewn into thin strips from various fabrics and coiled into fancy buttons of various shapes.
Buttons are daily necessities that human beings often accompany. It has been used for more than six thousand years. As early as 4,000 years ago, the Persians, the ancestors of Iran, had made buttons out of stones. But in the Zhou Dynasty, China began to adopt the system of coat under clothes, and both men and women wore two clothes under the coat.
In North Korea, there are officials who specialize in making dresses, and civil and military officials must wear dresses when doing ceremonies. At that time, the use of clothing was relatively standardized and the clothing system was relatively complete. The word "new" appears in Zhou Li and Li Ji, which reflects the etiquette of Zhou Dynasty. The word "new" is a knot that is tied together, that is, a heart knot. According to my collection of Western Zhou bronze buttons and domestic archaeological discoveries, buttons were used in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
