It is a knot that is tied and woven from a single cord or rope to become a variety of shapes and varying complexity. 

In China, the Good Luck knot is called Jie Sheng (结绳). The Chinese pronunciation of Sheng (绳) is similar to the word God, Shen (神), hence people wishes upon the Good Luck knot with the hopes of receiving good luck and fortune from God.
