??。 The name Luban has actually become a symbol of the wisdom of the working people in ancient times. For more than 2,400 years, people have concentrated the collective creations and inventions of the ancient working people on him. Therefore, the story of his invention and creation is actually the story of the invention and creation of the working people in ancient China.
As a famous inventor in ancient times, his inventions are widely spread among the world, because these creations have created a lot of convenience for people, making life more convenient and time-saving. What is the historically revered name of such a famous Luban? The name Luban has actually become a symbol of the wisdom of the working people in ancient times. Some of the tools that people are familiar with were invented by Lu Ban, such as hacksaws, curved rulers, ink buckets and other cutting and measuring tools. In fact, Lu Ban has been deeply influenced by the family since he was a child, because Lu Ban's family is a family of craftsmen, and his grandparents are very good at carpentry work, and the things they make are kitsch. Carpentry is his skill, and from an early age, he has not only learned the skills of knowledge, but more importantly, the basis of practice.
After Lu Ban invented these things, what was Lu Ban honored as when he left the market? Anyone who works as a carpenter in later generations will honor Lu Ban as an ancestor. Being called a grandmaster is not a white shout, Lu Ban is not only skilled, but also obsessed with the technology of Kit Kat, just like the Lu Ban lock, the combination of three axes of the building block, is created according to the ancient art of gossip. Moreover, when fighting a war, there are also cloud ladders, and the height of the cloud ladder can clearly see the entire war situation, which is an indispensable weapon for attacking the city. In addition to the weapon Lu Ban is also a very caring person, his wife because of the work of the long-term sun in the sun, Lu Ban saw that the roadside pavilion can shade the rain, he wanted to invent a mobile pavilion, but the umbrella he invented was not paper, this is the initial state of the umbrella. Lu Ban can really be called the last ancestor, because all his inventions can benefit mankind.
Lu Ban's name has been passed down to this day, and his craftsmanship is also respected. Born into a family of craftsmen for generations, Luban was exposed to knowledge of architecture and carpentry from an early age. Not only do you have a good understanding of the building structure, but most importantly, your practical operation ability is also very strong. There are a lot of Kit Kat crafts that he invented, so what did Lu Ban invent? In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many crafts were invented, and the environment at that time was very open to skills, so Luban also had a good opportunity. If you want to talk about what Lu Ban invented, there are many. Like the common things in life, such as umbrellas, saws, curved rulers, ink buckets, and some inventions related to agriculture and carving, it can be seen that Lu Ban is a person who loves to invent and create.
As a craftsman who loves to create, the initial design of these things is for convenience, the invention of the umbrella is because Lu Ban saw his wife working in the hot sun, he saw the shading of the pavilion and invented a mobile pavilion that can be moved, which has the original form of the umbrella. Not only is this small invention, he also has the manufacture of weapons, and the ladder is one of them. This ladder is a weapon specially used to attack the city in ancient times, and it can be used to stand very high to see the entire city, which is useful for the terrain control of the war. In addition to weapons and agricultural tools, although modern people advocate high technology, there are some tools that are still used, such as graphite. In the past, people used to work in a mash way, and the invention of graphite turned vertical motion into a rotary motion, which was also very energy-saving. No matter what Lu Ban invented, his original purpose was to benefit the people.
At that time, being a craftsman was actually a very inferior profession, but Lu Ban did not give up his hobbies and interests, and still followed his family out to work. It was not enough to learn the craftsmanship of his family, and Lu Ban was well aware of this, so he decided to go to Zhongnan Mountain to learn art. Lu Ban spent a month to go to Zhongnan Mountain, although the road was very bumpy, but still rode to the foot of the mountain, just at the foot of the mountain was dazzled by the road ahead, because the road up the mountain was twisted and turned hundreds of times. Lu Ban consulted the old lady under the mountain and finally found the way up the mountain, and when he reached the mountain, the first thing that caught his eye was three relatively dilapidated bungalows. But there was an old man asleep in the room, with only axes and other things around him, and Lu Ban thought that this man's skills must be unusual, and he should learn from him well. This process of worshiping the teacher is not easy, and the teacher asked Lu Ban a few questions, not only in craftsmanship, but also in character.
Lu Ban became The Teacher's apprentice with his own inner thoughts, but this exercise had just begun, and the Teacher Fu gave Lu Ban an axe that he had not used for many years and let him grind it in front of the house until it could be used. Lu Ban grinded in front of the house for seven days and seven nights, and the axe was sharpened to a bright light, and the master was very satisfied to see it, and let him cut down a towering tree of a hundred years at the door, this time Lu Ban worked for twelve days and nights. Teacher Fu saw that Lu Ban was so diligent and sincere, he let him see his own model, and then let Lu Ban build it himself, and then Lu Ban had his own ideas and began to create, and finally Lu Ban learned to become a craft to bid farewell to the master. Lu Ban is a Lu people, and his deeds and creations have been widely circulated among the broad masses of the people for more than two thousand years, so which dynasty is the famous Lu Ban? Lu Ban was born in the thirteenth year of King Jing of Zhou, so which dynasty Lu Ban is a person knows, this time is the late Spring and Autumn period to the early Warring States period.
Among them, there is a legend anecdote, legend Lu Ban invented the "hook" and "refuse" for the water army of the Chu State, when the enemy army is at a disadvantage, the "hook" can hook the enemy's ship and prevent it from escaping; when the enemy army is in an advantage, "refuse" can resist the enemy's ships and prevent it from pursuing. After the Chu army had a hook and refused, it was invincible, and Lu Ban was worthy of being a military expert. One day, Lu Ban boasted to Mozi, "I have hooks and saws for boat battles, and do you have hooks and saws for your righteousness?" Mozi advocates peace, opposes war, encourages people to respect and love each other, and benevolence and righteousness are supreme. He then replied, "I use love to hook and gong to refuse." If you hook people with hooks, people will hook you; you use rejection, and people will use rejection saws. When you say that the hook rejection of "righteousness" is not stronger than the hook rejection of the 'boat'? Lu Ban was speechless.
Lu Ban took out his invention again: a wooden magpie, which can fly for three days without landing on the ground. Mozi said, "This wooden magpie is not as good as a car jurisdiction that an ordinary craftsman has cut out in an instant, and once the car jurisdiction is installed on the axle, the car can carry fifty stones; and what is the practical role of your magpie?" What the carpenter makes is beneficial to man's so-called cleverness, and what is not conducive to man can only be clumsy. After listening, Lu Ban knew Mozi's philosophy well. Lu Ban once made a cloud ladder to help the Chu state attack the Song, Mozi came to block the troops, in the Chu king's palace with the belt as the city, with bamboo pieces as the instrument, and Lu Ban fought, Lu Ban's siege equipment was exhausted, Mozi's way to defend the city was still surplus, and finally Lu Ban was convinced, and the King of Chu also gave up attacking the Song.
This is the craftsman god Lu Ban, the originator of ancient Chinese architecture, the carpenter.
