"The Book of Lu Ban" is a strange book about civil engineering in ancient China. It is said to be written by the sage Lu Ban. The first volume is about Taoism, and the second volume is about explanations and medical spells. However, except for medical spells, there are no clear practice methods for other spells, only spells and talismans.
Legend has it that there were two craftsmen in the past, one with the upper volume and the other with the lower volume. The person in the first volume is more thoughtful, because his skills are not as good as the other one, so he thinks that the people in the second volume are all good things he wants to get, but he always can't get them. He simply spread rumors everywhere, saying that the contents of the next volume were not good and that bad things would happen to everyone who read it. This legend has been passed down, and it began to be passed down through rumors and became very mysterious and even a bit confusing.
? It is said that to learn Lu Ban Shu, you need to "miss one skill". The widows, widows, lonely, alone, and disabled people can all choose the same (to be verified). The choice starts from the time of practice. Therefore, "Lu Ban Shu" has won Another name - "Missing a Door"
According to legend, Lu Ban’s founder was drafted to work in the capital shortly after his wedding. Because he missed his newlywed wife so much, he made a wooden Kite, as long as a person rides on it and recites a few spells, the wooden kite can carry him back to his home thousands of miles away to reunite with his wife. His wife was particularly curious about this. Once, after the master came home, she secretly rode a wooden kite and chanted the same mantra. The wooden kite flew into the sky and soared freely. The Patriarch's wife, who has always been living deep in the boudoir, feels very uncomfortable. However, the good times did not last long. Just as the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. At that time, the founder's wife was already pregnant. While flying in the air, she suddenly gave birth and blood flowed out. However, the wooden kite was originally made by the Patriarch using a secret method. Once it was defiled, the magic power disappeared immediately, and the Patriarch's wife suddenly fell out of the air and died together with the child in her belly. Lu Ban woke up, When he found that his wife and wooden kite had disappeared together, he went out to look for them. Finally, he saw his wife and unborn child lying dead in the wilderness, being eaten by wild beasts. Lu Ban regretted it so much that he cursed everyone in the world who studied "The Book of Lu Ban". From then on, this sentence appeared in the first sentence of "Lu Ban Shu" and has been passed down to this day. Master Lu Ban, who knew this, regretted it so much that he cursed everyone in the world who studied "The Book of Lu Ban".
? Lu Ban was a native of the Lu state in the Spring and Autumn Period of my country, and because he invented many tools that are still in use today, Lu Ban is also called a "sage". A book written by Lu Ban is called "The Book of Lu Ban". This book has two volumes in one book, namely "White Witchcraft" and "Black Witchcraft". Someone once said that you must not read all of this book, because once you read it all, you will go blind.
A few years ago, a family in the village moved into a newly built new house. They often heard strange whining sounds on the roof in the middle of the night. They hired many mages and yin and yang to arrange it, but to no avail. Later, a mage said that it was probably not a feng shui problem or the work of ghosts and gods, and asked the owner to consider whether he had offended the craftsmen when repairing the house. The owner woke up and hosted a banquet for a group of craftsmen who had been working on the house. After a good meal, the owner told the problem of the house and asked for your help to solve it. After listening to the master's words, one of the plasterers felt that he had given a banquet and was sincere enough, so he stood up and said, "This matter is easy to handle. You can solve it by raising your hand!" He called his accomplices to bring a ladder, and the plasterer climbed up the ladder. Went to the roof and wandered around. Then he came down and told the owner that he had driven away the screaming dirty things and that the house was now peaceful and quiet. From then on, the strange noise disappeared. It turns out that when the house was being built, the owner was stingy and gave poor food to the craftsmen. The craftsmen felt resentful but did not dare to express it openly, fearing that the master would deduct wages again. One of the plasterers thought of a way to vent their anger. He was familiar with the local climate, calculated the wind direction, and secretly installed an empty wine bottle on the roof in a place where others could not find it. Every night, when the wind blows in the dead of night, the wine bottle will make a frightening whine.
? There is a family in our local area who hired a plasterer to make hot pots, one for the man of the house and one for his old mother. As a result, the plasterer was unhappy for some unknown reason. As a result, after the fire bed was set up, in the room where the old mother slept, there would be a fat boy crawling on the floor every night, always shouting that he was hungry and asking for food. The old mother was kind-hearted, so she prepared steamed buns. Whenever the fat boy crawled out and shouted, she would break off a few pieces of steamed buns and throw them over.
Come out several times a night. Every morning when I wake up, I see steamed buns broken into pieces everywhere on the ground.
? The scene in the male owner's house is different: whenever the male owner and his wife close their eyes and fall asleep, they see a naive fat boy holding up a urinal and asking them to pee with a smile. I also dream about it several times every night. When they get up the next day, the host and hostess will be ashamed to find that they have wet the bed and their clothes and bedding are in a mess. Later, the master brought tobacco, wine, sugar and tea to the craftsman, and the craftsman cracked the secret. It turns out that when the fire bed was set, two fat dolls made of clay were placed underneath. One opened its mouth to eat, and the other held a basin to induce people to wet the bed.
? There was a family building a gate. The craftsman and the owner had a few quarrels over construction issues. The craftsman was narrow-minded and actually harbored hatred, so he used the "tricks" left by his ancestors. He molded a carriage out of mud, left a hole in the brick wall of the gate, and placed the mud carriage inside. The head of the carriage pointed outward, which meant that the carriage would be transported from the inside out for many years, and the family would definitely gain wealth. It's hard to get together, and the days go by and we get poorer and poorer. This craftsman's intentions are indeed evil. But fate is not as good as fate. This family is usually kind and thrifty, so they deserve to escape this fate. Just as the craftsman was preparing to seal the hole with mud, the hostess brought tea and rice to the craftsman. The craftsman had no time to plaster the mud, so he covered the hole with a brick, ready to work after eating and drinking. After the craftsman drank a cup of hot tea, his stomach suddenly growled, and he hurried to the toilet. After the craftsmen left, the hostess looked at the gate under construction and suddenly discovered that there was a brick half-way up the wall that was missing. When she moved it away, she saw a pair of muddy carriages and horses inside. The hostess didn't know anything about craftsmanship or charlatanism, so she just thought that the carriage was meant for pulling things home, so how could it be pulled outside? He immediately took action, turned the carriage's head towards Chaonei, and put down the bricks again. When the craftsman came back and saw that the bricks were still empty, he didn't think much and continued the plastering work. After the gate was built, the family's life did not become worse and worse as the craftsman originally expected, but became more and more prosperous. I guess the craftsman had been thinking, why did the method left by the ancestor not work? Dharma is a good thing, but blessings come to those who are blessed.
1. It divides the levels of ordinary craftsmen and master craftsmen. An ordinary craftsman takes three years to become a master, and the master only teaches basic skills. A master craftsman studies for at least six years. He has mastered profound skills and "Lu Ban Shu".
2. It is a reflection of the status of the ancient craftsman industry. When civil craftsmen are working, safety accidents sometimes occur and they also encounter some strange events. The ancients were very taboo about this. "Lu Ban Shu" can be used to pray for disasters and blessings, which reflects this situation.
3. It is a means for craftsmen to protect themselves and has positive significance for the development of the civil engineering industry. The status of craftsmen in ancient times was low. Sometimes some wealthy bullies would default on wages, causing serious damage to the prestige of the foreman and the craftsman industry. The methods of punishing people in "The Book of Lu Ban" can help punish evil and promote good, and protect one's own interests.
