Extended information:

Luban has many inventions and creations. Many ancient books such as "Shi Cyan Pearl", "Wu Yuan" and "Ancient History" record that many tools and instruments used by carpenters were created by him, such as the curved ruler (also called the moment or Luban ruler), as well as the ink fountain and plane. , drills, chisels, shovels, saws and other tools are also said to have been invented by Lu Ban. The invention of these woodworking tools freed the craftsmen at that time from primitive and heavy labor, doubled their labor efficiency, and gave civil engineering a new look. Later, in order to commemorate this famous master, people respected him as the ancestor of Chinese civil craftsmen.

According to records in "Shiben", the stone mill was also invented by Lu Ban. Legend has it that Lu Ban used two relatively hard round stones, cut them into dense shallow grooves, put them together, and used human or animal power to turn them, and then grind the rice flour into powder. This is what we call grinding. Before this, people processed grain by putting it in a stone mortar and pounding it with a pestle.

The invention of the mill changed the up and down motion of the pestle and mortar into a rotational motion, so that the intermittent work of the pestle and mortar became continuous work, which greatly reduced labor intensity and improved production efficiency. This was one of the ancient grain processing tools. Big progress. The actual situation of Lu Ban's invention of the grinding mill has been unknown, but judging from archaeological excavations, pestles and mortars were already in existence during the Longshan Culture period (about 4,000 years ago). Therefore, it is possible that the grinding mill was invented in Lu Ban's time.

In terms of weapons, according to "Mozi Gongshu Chapter", Luban once manufactured "cloud ladders" for sieges and "Gouqiang" (also known as "Gouji") for water warfare for the Chu State. ), played a relatively large role in the war. In terms of architecture and sculpture, Luban also made many contributions. "Shu Yi Ji" says that Lu Ban carved a three-dimensional stone map of Kyushu.

Lu Ban is indeed one of the best civil construction craftsmen in ancient China. For more than 2,400 years, he has been regarded as the "ancestor" by civil engineering craftsmen and is respected and commemorated by people.
