Narrow length of fabric worn around the neck, under the collar of a shirt, tied at the front and hanging down over the shirt buttons. It was developed in the 19th century and is considered an essential item for formal menswear.
The tie was derived from a wide band of fabric worn around the neck and folded or draped on the chest by men in the 18th and 19th centuries. Ties also became popular in womens fashion at the end of the 19th century. Another version of the tie is the bow tie which is mainly worn by men with formal evening wear. It consists of a short length of fabric tied into a bow at the front of the neck.

Branch of Chinese Buddhism founded by Hui Ssu (515577) and based on the Lotus Sutra, commentaries on the sutra, and Hui Ssus own teachings. Tien Tai teaches the Threefold Truth which states that the dharma (the essence of a thing) is nothingness because it has no self or real being, that self only seems to exist because of certain causes and conditions, and that it is in an intermediate state of both nothingness (void) and yet also existing. The Japanese school of Tien Tai is Tendai.
