The Book of Lu Ban is one of the most wonderful books in the world, in which the secret method and Taoism are exactly the same as the truth that "if you want to practice this skill, you must first enter the palace" in Gong Xian Biography of Sunflowers. It is said that the Book of Lu Ban was written by Lu Ban, the ancestor of craftsmen. The original intention was to record his own technical experience and pass it on to future generations.
Because Luban's art is too complicated, it is said that it is full of magical power, and later learners have legends. If you want to learn Luban's calligraphy, you may need one thing: carp, widowhood, loneliness and disability. This can be explained as Lu Ban's skill of ascending to heaven, and it will cost a lot to learn.
In the part of Yin method in Lu Ban's book, the focus is on mountains. In fact, it is not only the Luban method, but also the folk Maoshan Yin method, which is actually the Maoshan method and has nothing to do with the Shangqing school.
In the picture I answered, if you like, you can pay attention to the lower right corner of Lu Ban's two books, which mainly focus on various spells and spells. Many different versions of Lu Ban's books circulating on the Internet come from here.
The name "Lu Ban Shu" came later. In fact, it is the name of Buddhist life that is popular mainly in the circles of carpenters and masons. As mentioned earlier, these sources are actually in Maoshan, but they just claim to be handed down by Lu Ban.
The original purpose of Lu Ban's book is not only to create good luck for others, but also to intimidate people. Because ancient carpenters and masons had low status, many of them were slandered and beaten, so they were not afraid of the law. Of course, those who use it must pay the price.
There is no doubt that Gushan was first classified as an evil law and a unique law. No matter from the earliest source, or later handed down among masons and carpenters, the legal system is clearly stated without any disguise. Of course, there are many unique performances. People generally say that loneliness and poor words are just the tip of the iceberg.
Of course, there are also many opportunistic attempts in history to avoid being destroyed by these unique methods.
One manifestation is, of course, the introduction of golden spells or the addition of taboo words in Luban method, which happened after the appearance of Lei method, so it basically happened after the Song Dynasty. With the help of Lei Fa, the influence of Lu Ban Fa has been alleviated to some extent.
In this process, a relatively mild Pu 'an method similar to Lu Ban's book appeared. This is a lot of things, because the history is too long and there are many integrations with other methods, so I won't mention it here.
Lubanshu
The Book of Lu Ban after the Ming and Qing Dynasties is actually a hodgepodge, which contains a large number of practical recipes from other places, and the teachings are handed down separately. Only the true core disciples can understand the true original content of this mountain.
This hodgepodge method is widely used, and most of them have no harmful methods or only a little. However, it is strictly forbidden to use it easily, so some wizards claim to use the Luban method, but it seems harmless, because it is not used at all when it comes to evil methods.
