Life profile:
Lu Ban: Gong Kui, a famous class. After Lu. Also known as Gongluosai, Gongluosai, Banluosai and Luban. Inru people. As a homonym with Ban, it was universal in ancient times, so people often called him Lu Ban.
Lu Ban was born in the 13th year of Zhou and died in the 25th year of King Zhen of Zhou. He lived from the late Spring and Autumn Period to the early Warring States Period. He was born into a family of artisans for generations. He participated in many civil engineering projects with his family since childhood, gradually mastered the skills of productive labor and accumulated rich practical experience. After about 450 BC, he came to Chu from Lu to help Chu make weapons. He built a ladder to attack the state of Song, but it was blocked. Mozi advocated making practical production tools and opposed making weapons for war. Lu Ban accepted the idea.
Public courses attach great importance to the observation and research of objective things. Inspired by natural phenomena, he devoted himself to creating inventions. He cut his finger on the grass while climbing the mountain. He picked the grass and examined it carefully. He found that both sides of the blade of grass were covered with small teeth arranged evenly, so he made a saw for logging by imitating the blade of grass. When he saw all kinds of birds flying freely in the sky, he cut them into kites with bamboo and wood and flew in the air with the help of the wind. The flight time is short. After repeated research and continuous improvement, I was able to fly in the air for a long time. I have paid attention to practice and thinking all my life and made great contributions to architecture and machinery. He can build palaces and pavilions; It used to be a ladder for siege and a hook for ship warfare; Created a Trojan horse prepared by the authorities; Invented square, Mo Dou, planer, chisel and other wooden tools, but also invented grinding, grinding, locking. Because of his outstanding achievements, the builders have always respected him as the founder.
Lu Ban invented many things. Many ancient books record that he invented many woodworking instruments for carpenters. Like a carpenter's ruler named Lu Banchi. Another example is Mo Dou, sawing, planing and drilling. Legends are all made up by Lu Ban.
The invention of these woodworking tools liberated the craftsmen at that time from the original heavy labor, and the labor efficiency was doubled, and the civil engineering was completely new. They all contain the original knowledge of physics.
Lu Ban is also an outstanding mechanical inventor. He made a lock, the mechanism was set inside, and there was no trace outside. It can only be opened with a matching key.
There is such a record in the book: the loser cut bamboo and thought it was a magpie and flew for three days. In other words, the wooden bird made by Lu Ban can fly into the sky by the wind and not land for three days.
Many later inventors of science and technology, such as Ma Jun in the Three Kingdoms period, Qu Chun in the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Ling in the Northern Qi Dynasty and Ma in the Tang Dynasty, were all influenced by this legend and developed in this direction.
In weapons manufacturing, Lu Ban once made siege equipment for Chu, which played a great role in the war. Later, under the influence of Mozi, he stopped making this tool of war and devoted himself to inventions in production and life to benefit the working people.
For more than 400 years, in order to express their love and admiration for Lu Ban, people have concentrated the collective creations and inventions of ancient working people on him. Therefore, St.
Luban's name has actually become a symbol of diligence and wisdom of ancient working people.
Lu Ban's invention:
Lu Ban's inventions are various and scattered in books after the Warring States Period, mainly including:
Machine seal. He designed a mechanical seal to bury Ji Kangzi's mother mechanically. His skill is convincing. However, at that time, thick burial prevailed and this method was not adopted.
Agricultural machinery and tools. The invention and adoption of advanced agricultural machinery is one of the important conditions for the development of ancient agriculture in China. Mozi said that Lu Ban made stones, the Book of Rites; Tan Gong said that he had made hulls, grinders and rollers. These grain processing machines were very advanced at that time. In addition, Shi Ben records that Lu Ban made a shovel.
Woodworking tools. Many ancient vessels are made of wood, so exquisite tools are very important to carpenters. Said luban made a drill. The carpenter's bending ruler, also known as Lu Banchi, shows that ancient craftsmen thought that the bending ruler was invented by Lu Ban, but this is only a legend. Curved ruler is a common woodworking tool used by Lu Ban.
Lock the key. There is a simple fish lock key. Luban's improved lock key is shaped like a kite and has a mechanism inside. It can only be opened with a key, which can take the place of people.
Weapons. Hook ladder is a common weapon in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Lu Ban's record was changed to hook strength, which was used in ship warfare. Zhu used this device to fight a water war with the Vietnamese army. Hook the boat when it passes, and push it when it passes. Tell us that he changed the ladder into a ladder that can stand in the air to attack the city.
Bionic machinery. I still remember Lu Ban chopping wood to make magpies. Magpies can fly for three days. According to records, from 0755 to 79000, he also made a wooden kite to see Song Cheng. Described a rumor that he made a wooden cart with mechanical devices and wood to transport his mother.
Carving. Lu Ban carved the map of Kyushu on a stone, which may be the earliest stone map. In addition, in ancient times, it is also said that Luban carved a beautiful stone phoenix.
Civil architecture. Original text; "Strange Destiny" and "Examination of Ancient History" all say that Lu Ban created the shop head, which is the base for installing the knocker. In ancient times, it was also said that he presided over the construction of bridges; His wife, marble, invented an umbrella to protect the craftsman from the sun and rain.
Of course, some legends may be different from historical facts, but they praise the wisdom of ancient craftsmen in China. Luban is regarded as the embodiment of skilled craftsmen and the father of folk craftsmen.
