"Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried." Who has anything wrong with the king today? The poem is called "Swordsman" from Jia Dao in the Tang Dynasty, and he used this poem to tell the story of his ten years of cold window, but he never showed his talent, but it can also be said that a swordsman has gathered his heart for the sword for many years.
But under the change of the times, who can really do "ten years to grind a sword", the emergence of new things often replace the old things, the change of the times also forced the change of the way of survival, but everything is not allowed to be absolute, there is a company in the world that has survived for 1441 years, only delving into a business, and achieving "a thousand years of grinding a sword".
In 578 AD, the 6th year of Emperor Minda of Japan, Prince Shengde planned to build a Buddhist temple in order to celebrate the removal of the abolition of the 6th period of the abolition of the Buddhist official Motobu Shouya and pray for the blessing of the four heavenly kings of the Dharma God.
Prince Shengde heard that there was a very famous construction craftsman in Baekje, South Korea, Yanagi Chongguang, so he sent people to wade through the mountains and invited him back, built the Shitennoji Temple, Yanagi Shigemitsu's craftsmanship is exquisite, the Shitennoji Temple is a representative building of the Asuka era, in order to surpass the Shitennoji Temple, Yanagi Jung-kwang stayed in Japan to study craftsmanship.
Yanagisawa settled in Japan and recruited some disciples, and the descendants of the descendants of the Yanagi clan also became the later Kongo group, and in 607 AD, the Kongo family built Horyu-ji Temple, reaching the peak of Japanese wooden architecture, Horyu-ji Temple and Shitennoji Temple are now the two major historical heritages of Japanese architecture.
However, with the changes in society, the Kongo group also encountered many crises, almost collapsed, in the 19th century, Japan at the end of the first industrial revolution and the beginning of the second industrial revolution suffered a major impact, the Meiji Emperor carried out the "Meiji Restoration", the wave of reform came wave after wave, and the old feudal forces began to withdraw from the historical stage.
Most of the ancient Buddhist buildings were destroyed, and the Kongo group dominated by carpenters was difficult to survive in the industrial age, but it barely survived, and in 1934, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and Japanese young people went to join the army under the spread of the idea of "holy war", and the Kongo group passed to the 37th generation, and the Yanagi clan did not want to operate at all.
When the Pacific War broke out, the United States' "Li Mei Fire Attack" and "Tokyo Bombing" almost closed the door of the King Kong group, but the female "hall master" still found a way to survive, they made military wooden boxes for the army, barely making a living.
After the end of World War II, Japan began to recover the economy, relying on carpenter craftsmanship to eat the King Kong group is a lot of work, but Japan's development is a bubble economy, the first oil crisis swept the world, Japan's economy began to collapse, although the Kongo group is heavily indebted, but still carried for decades.
Until 2006 finally liquidated, they also returned to the old line, specializing in temple architecture, the King Kong group, the "little strong who can not die", after insisting on 1441, is also re-alive, when the reporter asked why the King Kong group can exist for so long, the 40th generation of the church owner only gave a two-word answer: "persistence".
