In ancient times, there was a famous carpenter whose name was Lu Ban. Lu Ban has been skillful since he was a child, and he is famous in his hometown.
When Lu Ban was 12 years old, his father decided to send him to Zhongnan Mountain to learn his craft from the most famous carpenter there.
Grandmaster Zu asked, "Lu Ban, why did you learn carpenter's craft?" "Build the strongest bridge and the most beautiful house for everyone." Luban said.
Grandmaster nodded and said, "Very good, but you have to pass my exam before I can take you as an apprentice." ”
Lu Ban nodded happily and said, "Grandmaster, you will come up with a question." ”
"You grind the blunt axe, the planer, the chisel fast." Grandmaster said.
Lu Ban grinded up seriously. It took 7 days and 7 nights to grind.
Grandmaster said, "Lu Ban, go and cut down the big tree in front of the door." ”
Lu Ban took an axe and cut down the tree. It took 12 days and 12 nights to cut down the tree.
Grandmaster Zu also commanded, "Lu Ban, if you plan that big tree into a roof beam, you will plan it brightly and roundly!" ”
Without complaint, Lu Ban picked up the planer and planed it for 24 days and 24 nights, and cut the big tree into a bright and round beam.
Grandmaster Zu also said, "Lu Ban, you have to chisel 2400 eyes on the girder, you want 600 squares, 600 circles, 600 triangles, and 600 flat ones." ”
Lu Ban chiseled for 36 days and 36 nights, chiseled wood chips randomly, chiseled into 2400 eyes, and finally Lu Ban was so tired that he couldn't straighten up.
Grandmaster looked at it and said with satisfaction, "Good boy, you're doing a good job." If you work so hard, nothing will be difficult for you in the future. ”
Grandmaster Zu accepted Lu Ban as his apprentice. Under the guidance of his grandfather, Lu Ban learned to make various models. In this way, 3 years passed in a hurry.
One day, Grandmaster Zu called Lu Ban to him and said, "Lu Ban, your craft has been learned, you can go home!" ”
Therefore, Lu Ban reluctantly bid farewell to his grandfather and returned to his hometown. Lu Ban made many contributions to the people in his hometown, and his good name has been passed down to this day.
The story enlightens us: Lu Ban innovated many carpenter techniques in his lifetime, leaving many materials worth learning from future generations. Through the story of Lu Ban, we understand such a truth: only those children who are not afraid of hard work and always persevere can achieve final success.
