Lu Ban is so famous that we ignore the book Lu Ban. Many people can't understand this book now. The biggest reason is that it has been banned. Why? According to legend, Lu Ban Shu is a magical ancient book. It is divided into two volumes. The first volume records many inventions of Lu Ban, which is the superb embodiment of his woodworking skills. The first volume is nothing special.
The most mysterious part of the book of Lu Ban is the second volume, which records the way people communicate with the underworld, and there are even many evil spells and spells. In the preface, Lu Ban pointed out, "Those who study this book and those who are lonely must be among them." Lu Ban, this is a curse, which means that if you learn the contents mentioned in this book, you will become a widow, widower, lonely, lonely and disabled.
Widow: a man who has no wife or has lost his wife, that is, a widower; Widow: a woman whose husband died, that is, a widow; Orphan: a child whose father or parents are both dead, that is, an orphan or an orphan; Independence: that is, to die alone, childless; Disability: a person who is disabled and unable to work, such as deaf, dumb, blind, mutilated, insane, etc.
Ancient feudal superstitions prevailed, and Lu Ban's skill was superb. His curse is so powerful that no one dares to touch the book easily. This is the most important reason why many experts and scholars think that Lu Ban Shu was banned in ancient times. However, the author thinks that another important reason for the ban on Lu Ban Shu is that the ancient ruling class thought this book was a threat to their rule, and Lu Ban's technology was too advanced.
According to legend, after 450 BC, Lu Ban came to Chu from Lu to be a doctor. During the period when Chu was an official, Lu Ban helped Chu to make many advanced weapons with his superb skills, the most famous of which was the ladder. According to "Mozi Gongbo", "Gongbo is a ladder-making machine of Chu State. If it succeeds, it will attack Song. "
Ladder plays a great role in siege warfare and is also used to detect the enemy's situation. For example, in A Brief Training of Soldiers in Huainan, Xu Shen noted: "The ladder can stand in the clouds, so you can have a bird's eye view of the enemy city", which shows that the ladder can also be used to climb high to observe the enemy situation in the city. For the rulers at that time, whoever mastered this advanced weapon meant that he could defeat the enemy. Are they willing to let everyone know?
Obviously impossible! When Lu Ban recorded all these advanced weapons manufacturing methods in the Book of Lu Ban, the rulers of the cold weapon era strongly prohibited them. Some netizens ridiculed that Lu Ban was the "son of an airplane" for two thousand years. He is so similar to Renaissance leonardo da vinci in Europe that his deeds are hard to be understood by future generations.
