I don't know historically how they tied their skirts, but currently there are multiple ways people tie their skirts :D

Most Hanfu shops sell 2 types of skirts when it comes to the waist ties:

1) With a hole provided for the tie to slide through (this one seems more common nowadays) 2) Without the hole provided

Skirts with the waist-tie hole provided are a bit easier as it allows the tie to wrap around your waist and stay in place nicely:

If you have a skirt without the hole provided, I find this method the easiest to make it look nice:

As for ways to actually tie the tie, here area a few common methods (the last 3 aren't very common, but they add a bit of a flare). I'm lazy, so I usually just do a simple butterfly tie (nowhere near as neatly as this video shows), and I tend to slide it to the side so it's not clearly seen. Some people put the knot front-and-centre so it's part of the outfit, all up to you how to wear it :D
