To this day, Hong Kong's architectural community still retains this traditional custom, and for many years every Luban birthday will be celebrated in the first-class historic building, Hong Kong's only Luban Ancestral Teacher Temple.
The "2021 Youth Luban Election" awarded 9 awards such as the "Youth Luban Award" and the "Architectural Craftsmanship Award", and a total of 53 industry elites were awarded. Among them, the "Junior Luban Innovation Award" is a new award this year, which aims to let full-time students deeply understand the construction industry by participating in the competition, so as to become a lifelong career in the future, and promote the history and culture of Luban, so that excellent construction craftsmanship and technology can be inherited.
The ceremony was co-organised by the Hong Kong Construction Industry Federation, the Vocational Training Council and the Hong Kong Institute of Constructors, and attended by the Secretary for Development of the HKSAR Government, Mr Wong Wai Lun, and the Director of Buildings, Mr Yu Tak-cheung.
Chung Kwan Man, chairman of Hong Kong Luban Guangyue Hall, said that Luban's spirit of excellence and continuous progress has a long history in the construction industry, and the construction industry is a very important industry in Hong Kong. Hong Kong Luban GuangyueTang is committed to carrying forward the spirit and construction wisdom of Luban, attracting more young people to join the development of the industry, so that the construction industry can pass on the torch. From the list of winners of the Youth Luban Award, it can be seen that the winners, regardless of men, women and seniority, are enthusiastically devoted to the construction industry and jointly build The Xiangjiang River.
Wu Shiwei, the winner of the "Young Luban Award", is a young woman who has just entered the industry for two years, and she also won the "Construction Award". "Engaging in the construction industry is false to say that it is not hard, it is all a pleasure in suffering, so getting this award is an affirmation of yourself." Wu Shiwei said: "I think the satisfaction of engaging in architecture is the greatest, because you can see a building built from scratch. I built the bridge, and seeing it built from piling, laying foundations, and building pillars, it was like raising a child myself. (End)
