At this point I was going to do an analysis of the THCA and ZGJ tests, then synthesize a program that combines the two… But then I (re) found the Japanese tests which I am now in the process of translating. Clearly, I’m going to need to create a spreadsheet.

In the meanwhile, here is a concordance of the test lists from the ZGJ perspective with the knots or projects without correlants left out for now.

ZGJ Learning Chinese knot art grading standards - Basic test
