As we all know, Lu Ban is a well-deserved skilled craftsman in Chinese history, and after 2400 years of widespread circulation, he has become the embodiment of the wisdom of the ancient working people, as long as it is a story of invention and creation, almost all of which can be related to him. However, this is also beyond reproach, after all, all walks of life need a "grandfather", and the significance of LuBan lies in this. Unexpectedly, more than 2,000 years later, with the emergence of an ancient book, Lu Ban's other identity has been revealed, and even experts have to sigh: he is hidden deep enough.
Lu Ban, born in 507 BC in the country of Lu a family of craftsmen, from a young age, he and his family went out to engage in civil construction, decades later, whether it is experience or technology, he has long surpassed his predecessors. However, following the rules and following the path of the predecessors is doomed to have no major success, and only reform and innovation will liberate more labor. According to books such as "Cyan Pearls of Things" and "Wuyuan", Lu Ban invented many tools and instruments, such as curved rulers, planers, ink buckets, etc., and the emergence of these tools not only freed the majority of laborers from the shackles of heavy work, but also made the whole society look new.
However, Lu Ban's contribution is far more than that, and his greatest achievement in life is to write all the inventions and experiences into the book. Generally speaking, the techniques taught by successive generations of craftsmen are taught by hand by hand by master, and even if it is not good, it is also passed on by word of mouth, and there are very few craftsmen who publish books. But Lu Ban did the opposite, and he wrote a book of Lu Ban, which not only recorded the methods of building houses, but also some empirical talk about feng shui and layout. Of course, this is only the content of the first volume, and in addition to the construction process, Lu Ban also recorded a large number of Daoist techniques.
From this point of view, Lu Ban is still very extensive, it turns out that he not only understands architecture, but also some side doors and left roads. However, the Book of Luban has been listed as a banned book in all dynasties, because in terms of feng shui and magic, its "evil door" is the most worrying. The Book of Lu ban is divided into two volumes, the first volume records architecture and Taoism, and the second volume records a variety of things such as witchcraft, medicine, spells, spells, and formations. In addition, if you want to study the Book of Luban, you must "lack one", that is, choose one of the "widows, widows, orphans, loneliness, and disabilities".
There is a saying in the "Mencius Liang Huiwang": "The old and wifeless widowhood, the old and the husbandless widowhood, the old and childless and the lonely, the young and the fatherless and lonely." It can be seen that if you want to learn the technology in the Luban Book, you have to take the corresponding risks, and this condition alone is enough to dissuade most people. However, the reason why the "Book of Lu Ban" is "missing a door" is to start from Lu Ban's sad things. It is said that at that time, Lu Ban was recruited to work shortly after he got married, and the newlywed Yan'er was forced to live in two places, of which the bitter taste was not enough for outsiders.
So, Lu Ban set out to create a wooden kite, and with a few incantations, he could fly into the sky and carry him back to his home thousands of miles away. One day, Lu Ban's wife also wanted to try the magic of the wooden kite, so she also recited a few incantations and sat up. However, she was already pregnant in October, but there were signs of childbirth in the sky, and the blood-stained wooden kites quickly lost their mana and fell from the sky. As a result, Lu Ban became a lonely man, and in order to curse those who studied the Book of Lu Ban, he established the rule of "missing one door".
Of course, the taboo of the Book of Luban is just folklore, and in this world of science, magic does not stand at all. But because of this, Lu Ban's other identity has also been revealed, and it turns out that he is not only a carpenter, but also a jianghu warlock. I have to say that Lu Ban hid it deep enough, if it were not for the discovery of the "Book of Lu Ban", I am afraid that he would not really be able to discover his true identity.
