Luban is not only a carpenter, but what is his other identity after more than two thousand years?

There are poems coming and going, making a big axe in front of Lu Ban. -"The Tomb of Li Taibai"

As the saying goes, there is specialization in the art, and it is difficult for a person to concentrate on one thing all his life and make it to the extreme. Only by engaging in this career all his life can he be called a master. Studying a thing all his life, thoroughly studying and skillfully using it, has shown that he is very capable. Some people only do one thing all their lives, and their achievements are less than half that of others. So doing one thing requires not only hard work, but also talent. Some people have strong learning ability, and their understanding and insight are beyond ordinary people, so they can not only do one thing well in this life, but even do many things to the extreme. Everyone is different, which makes the world more colorful.

Lu Ban, known as the ancestor of carpenters, was more than just a carpenter. It was not until more than two thousand years later that his other identity was discovered. Lu Ban was born in a carpenter's family. His talent and learning ability are beyond many people. This is not only related to his family influence, he must have inherited the learning ability of his ancestors. He not only has super high learning ability, but also has strong creative ability. /kloc-By the time he was 0/5 years old, he had mastered all carpentry work, and he continued to create with his basic knowledge. His appearance has brought great changes and development to woodworking. Now the tools used in construction, such as ruler and Mo Dou, were all invented by Lu Ban. The invention of these tools greatly improved labor efficiency and promoted the development of productivity to a certain extent.

I believe many students who have studied Chinese in senior high school know that in Mozi's Public Loss, "the public loss plate is a machine for making ladders. If it is successful, it will be successful in the Song Dynasty. " It can be seen that carpentry is not only used in buildings and household appliances, but also in military operations. As an expert in military industry, Lu Ban naturally hopes that the weapons and tools he created can shine in the war, let the world see his creative ability and the tools he has studied for a long time, and bring him joy and satisfaction through the success of the war.

It's a pity that he is a great carpenter rather than a strategist. Mozi advocated universal love and no attack, and their strategic duel in the palace ended in Mozi's victory. Luban is a carpenter and wizard, but he has not systematically studied military knowledge and practice. What he can say about military strategy is something that many ordinary people can think of. Different from him, Mozi, as a great man, can't compare with all his books and experiences. Besides, Mozi's thought contains the thought of peace and justice, while Lu Ban only wants to realize his own desires, regardless of the safety of people in other countries.

Lu Ban once wrote a book, Lu Ban Shu, which was once called a fantastic book. During this period, there is also a legend that Lu Ban was called to finish the work, and his wife was pregnant at home and could not accompany him. Lu Ban, who has not been separated from his wife for a long time, made a wooden kite during the period of missing his wife. This kind of wooden kite can carry people in the sky, and its function is the same as that of modern airplanes. However, because the technology of the ancients is not very mature, there is no tried and tested wooden kite, which is extremely dangerous.

Out of curiosity and unfamiliarity with the operation of wooden kites, his wife sat directly on it and started the organ. Accidentally fell from the air, and both fetuses died. Lu Ban, who got the news, was very painful and thought that his own reasons indirectly led to his wife's death. Moreover, he hated the book Lu Ban Shu, which he had written, and wrote a curse on the title page, cursing that people who read this book would die alone. This makes many people who have read Lu Ban's books afraid, and because of the title page, many people give up studying Lu Ban's books halfway.

In fact, Lu Ban Shu is a comprehensive book covering many aspects, including not only architecture, carpentry, but also Feng Shui Yin Yang calligraphy. Among them, architecture and geomantic omen are naturally integrated, which is not surprising, because ancient people paid great attention to geomantic omen when building residential courtyards, so the integration of these two aspects is to meet the needs of house builders. "Lu Ban Shu" still has its research value, and it still needs to be studied and discussed by scholars.
