I believe that many friends have played the game of Glory of kings, and the "Luban Seven" with an IQ of 250 in the game is a cute shooter. In fact, his prototype is from the Warring States period "Lu Ban", in history, he is the originator of Chinese architecture, civil engineering, carpentry, known as the "Hundred Workers Saint Ancestor".
This issue is the Spring and Autumn Warring States Chapter, through a few minutes to take everyone to understand the legendary story of "Hundred Workers Saint Zu Luban".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > I. Craftsman was born</h1>
The original name was GongLuban, because he was born in the country of Lu, and the ban is homophonous with "ban", so posterity called it "Luban". Born in 507 BC during the Spring and Autumn Period. The family of origin has been engaged in the artisan industry for generations.
Xiao Luban has been engaged in construction and civil engineering work with his family since he was a child. As he grew older, he became more skilled in the art of labor production and had a wealth of practical experience.

When Lu Ban was twelve years old, he studied crafts with his father with his cousin Lu Han. Once, my father asked the two of them to go up the mountain to cut wood together as a beam for the building.
The two brothers happily went up the mountain with their knives, and used the knife to cut down the tree for a long time, when they saw the wild fruits on the tree, they climbed up the tree without holding back. Lu Ban was quick to pick the fruit, and when he came down, he accidentally scratched his finger by a sharp blade.

The clever Lu Ban was extremely shocked to see this, the small weak blade was so sharp, and then he returned to the blade to study. Through research and experiments, the final invention of the jagged knife is now the saw, which greatly improves work efficiency and has been passed down to this day.

In 450 BC, in the Warring States era, when wars were frequent, countries sought talents in order to strive for greater victories. Lu Ban, who mastered rich mechanical manufacturing and craftsmanship, left the country of Lu and came to the powerful state of Chu as a military manufacturer.
At that time, the state of Chu was strong and strong, and it attempted to annex the Song state through war. Therefore, Lu Ban was ordered to build a "cloud ladder" for the siege, just as the cloud ladder was about to be completed. The Song Dynasty advocated "both love and non-attack" Mozi, who came to the Chu Kingdom thousands of miles away. With excellent eloquence, he conducted a military exercise with Lu Ban to "lose credit and stick to it". As a result, Lu Ban could not win many times, and he was convinced to cancel his intention to attack the Song State.
Ladder
The King of Chu, whose plan failed, also planned to attack the Yue Kingdom, and after the Yue King practiced the ideological education of "lying down and tasting courage", the national strength continued to grow stronger, and the water army was particularly strong. Therefore, Lu Ban improved the military equipment of the Chu State and invented the "hook" and "refuse".
A hook is a hook that hooks an escaping ship, and a refusal is a defense against enemy ships. These two inventions were the proud works of Lu Ban, who deliberately boasted to Mozi. Who knew that Mozi disdainfully replied, "If you hook others, others will also hook you; if you reject others, others will also reject you." And I hook with love, with respect to refuse, who do you think is more powerful in crook rejection? Lu Ban could not refute it, and was also influenced by Mozi's thought, giving up war and concentrating on the study of science and technology.
Mozi
Seeing this, everyone may doubt Lu Ban's title of "Hundred Workers Saint Ancestor". So what are the legendary inventions of LuBan?
Lu Ban invented in his lifetime: ladders, hooks, carvings, lock keys, hooks, umbrellas; and many carpentry tools, agricultural tools, textile tools, etc.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > invention of military tools: ladder, hook strong, wooden magpie</h1>
The wooden magpie is the most proud work of Lu Ban's life, it is a wooden bird that can use the wind to fly for three days without landing. After the success of the invention, Lu Ban invited Mozi to appreciate, who knew that there was no praise, and was counted down.
Mozi said, "What is the use of your wooden bird flying in the sky, it is better to invent a wheel, which can replace the people to carry heavy objects." As a carpenter, it is great to invent things that bring convenience to the people, otherwise it is useless. Lu Ban was ashamed after listening to it, and then devoted himself to making practical inventions that benefited the people.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > invention of woodworking tools: curved ruler, ink bucket, saw, planer, shovel, drill</h1>
(1) Curved ruler
In the early days, the curved ruler was called "moment", which was used by carpentry to measure the angle of objects, and was said to have been invented by Lu Ban. In the Mozi-TianzhiShang, it is said: "The wheel master adheres to his rules to live in the square circle of the world." The rules in "Refer to compasses and curved rulers.

(2) Ink bucket
The ink bucket is a tool for construction personnel to bounce the line, and accurately locate the design range by drawing lines in a straight line. Among them, a small wooden hook at the end of the rope line also became the "banmu", which was invented by Lu ban's mother.
There are other commonly used hand tools: saws, planers, shovels, drills, etc., all of which were inspired by Lu Ban's long-term practice and invented through repeated experimentation.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > agricultural tools were invented: stone grinding, well drilling</h1>
(1) Graphite
It is to use two round stones to superimpose, chiseled into a shallow groove in the middle, and through the rotation of external forces, things can be ground. It is very common in rural areas.
It is recorded in the Shiben that this was invented by Lu Ban. Again, in the Previous Yongsan Culture Period, there were also pestles, and things were placed in the stone mortars and mashed with pestles. Lu Ban invented graphite after upgrading.

(2) Drilling wells
According to historical records, the first person to dig the ground to draw water was Emperor Shun, and the first wells were all puddles for emergency use. Luban was the first to dig a well in the mountains, called "Luban Well".
At the same time, Lu Ban also invented the method of drilling wells, and since then there have been stone wells, wooden wells, and sand ash wells. In order to save effort, Luban also invented pulleys for water extraction.
Drilling
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > other inventions: engraving, key lock, umbrella</h1>
(1) Engraving
According to the "Shuyi Ji", the earliest stone carved map of China, "Kyushu Map", was carved by Lu Ban on stone. Legend has it that he also carved an intricate stone phoenix.
(2) Lock key
The earliest key appeared in 1026 BC, when the key was shaped like a fish. Later, after the Transformation of Luban, Li [lí] shape, only the key can be opened, at that time it was a good substitute for people to guard.
(3) Umbrella
According to legend, Lu Ban's wife Yun Shi is also a famous craftsman, and it is very painful to work in the sun and rain in Luban, thinking that the pavilion can shade the sun and block the rain, so she designed a moving pavilion "umbrella".

Today, more than two thousand years have passed since the time of Luban's life, and Luban is not only a symbol of the wisdom of the ancient working people. It has still influenced the construction and civil engineering industries to this day. In order to commemorate Lu Ban, every year on June 13 (Lu Ban's birthday), the wood art union holds the "Lu Ban Master's Birthday".
At the same time, in 1987, the China Construction Industry Federation established the "Luban Award" to recognize engineers as outstanding as Luban. In addition, there is also a "Luban Memorial Hall" in Longquan, Tengzhou, Shandong, in order to better inherit and develop the "Hundred Workers Saint Zu Luban" culture
