History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Su Yue quietly went online again: "Let me see who's not asleep yet. It's already eleven o'clock in the morning!"

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Me, me, me! I have not slept yet

Wan Ning can’t sleep at night (Guan): Haha, I’m just telling you why you went out for a walk so late today. It turns out you secretly went out to live broadcast.

Fuling (Guan): Haha, your roommate has a heart-to-heart connection with you, and you are playing tricks with your roommate!

My charming but short-lived ancestor: Damn it, Yueyue will probably never come back to the dormitory
I can't sleep at night (Guan): She told me to go to the toilet. I was still curious about why I need to bring a computer to the toilet. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it.
Fuling (Guan): Agreed! Very much agree! I'm worried that your computer might get flooded

I send my love and the bright moon: Yueyue, I wish you good luck!
Who in the clouds sends a brocade book: I wish you good luck!

……

Su Yue sighed and said, "Aren't I afraid of disturbing you? If I talk at night, wouldn't it disturb my sleep?"

I can’t sleep at night (Guan): Haha!
Fuling (Guan): Come back after the live broadcast quickly, otherwise it will be a problem whether we can barge in or not!
I can’t sleep at night (Guan): Agreed!
My charming but short-lived ancestor: Yueyue, let’s start quickly! Otherwise you won't be able to go back
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade letter: Seconded! Hurry!

……

Su Yue sighed and said, "Okay, today we are going to talk about inventors! The first one must be our lovely Lu Ban!"

Luban, Ji's surname, Gongshu's surname, Ban.

Also known as Gongshuzi, Gongshupan, Banshu, and Luban.

A native of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Ban" and "Ban" have the same pronunciation and were commonly used in ancient times, so people often called him Lu Ban.

He was born in about the thirteenth year of King Jing of Zhou Dynasty (507 BC) and died in the twenty-fifth year of King Zhending of Zhou Dynasty (444 BC).

Living from the late Spring and Autumn Period to the early Warring States Period, he was born into a family of generations of craftsmen. He participated in many civil construction projects with his family since he was a child, gradually mastering the skills of productive labor and accumulating rich practical experience.

After about 450 BC, he came to Chu from Lu and helped Chu make weapons.

He once created a cloud ladder and prepared to attack the Song Dynasty. Mozi traveled thousands of miles and traveled from Lu for ten days and ten nights to Ying, the capital of the Chu Kingdom. He argued with Lu Ban and the King of Chu and persuaded the King of Chu to stop attacking the Song Dynasty.

The hand tools used by carpentry masters, such as drills, planes, shovels, rulers, and ink fountains for marking, are said to have been invented by Lu Ban.

The invention of every tool was inspired by Luban's production practice and was developed through repeated research and testing.

For more than 2400 years, people have focused on him the collective creations and inventions of the ancient working people.

Therefore, the story about his invention and creation is actually the story of the invention and creation of the working people in ancient China.

……

My charming, short-lived ancestor: what to do? When I see Lu Ban, I want to fight!
I send my thoughts to the bright moon: You remind me of the saying that the game can be lost, but Lu Ban must die!
Wudu refuses: Agree! But don’t lovers have to die?

Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: No, because Lu Ban in King of Pesticides has a bad mouth.
My dear, don’t leave: Luban players are trembling

I can’t sleep at night (Guan): Okay! That means it’s just a game! Please don't substitute reality!
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade letter: Agree! Very much agree!
……

Seeing that they had been discussing King Pesticide, Su Yue sighed and said, "That is to say, what we are talking about is Lu Ban in history! Please be more serious!
Okay, let’s take a look at Lu Ban’s anecdotes! "Being humiliated by Mozi

Legend has it that Lu Ban invented the "hook" and "rejection" for the Chu navy. When the enemy was at a disadvantage, the "hook" could hook the enemy's ship and prevent it from escaping; when the enemy was at an advantage, the "hook" could "Rejection" can resist the enemy's ships and prevent them from pursuing them.

With hooks and rejections, the Chu army was invincible, and Lu Ban was worthy of being a military expert.

One day, Lu Ban boasted to Mozi: "I have hooks and rejections for boat warfare. Do you also have hooks and rejections for righteousness?"
Mozi advocated peace and opposed war, and encouraged people to respect and love each other, and to put benevolence and righteousness first.

He then replied: "I use love to hook and respect to reject. If you hook people with hooks, they will hook you; if you reject people with hooks, they will reject you with hooks. If you say 'righteousness', they will reject you." , isn’t it better than ‘Zhou’’s Gou Jie?”

Lu Ban was speechless.

Lu Ban took out his invention again: a wooden magpie, which could fly for three days without landing. But Mozi said: "This wooden magpie is not as good as a chariot handle that an ordinary craftsman can cut out in an instant. Once the chariot handle is installed on the axle, the cart can carry fifty stones. But what is the practical use of your magpie?"
What a carpenter makes is called skillful if it is beneficial to people, and it can only be called clumsy if it is not beneficial to people. "

After Lu Ban listened, he understood Mozi's philosophy.

Lu Ban once made a ladder to help the Chu Kingdom attack the Song Dynasty. Mozi came to stop the troops from sending out troops. He used his clothes belt as a city and bamboo pieces as weapons to fight with Lu Ban in the palace of the King of Chu. Lu Ban's siege equipment was exhausted. Mo Zi There were still more ways to defend the city. Lu Ban was convinced in the end, and the King of Chu also gave up attacking Song Dynasty.

Unable to see Mount Tai
The Mount Tai in the saying "Eye can't recognize Mount Tai" is not the Mount Tai in Shandong. There is a little story here.

The ancestor of the carpenters was Lu Ban, who was very skilled in craftsmanship.

Legend has it that he once made a bird out of wood, which flew in the sky for three days and three nights without coming down.

But even such an expert can make mistakes sometimes.

Lu Ban recruited many apprentices. In order to maintain the reputation of the class, he regularly inspected and eliminated some people. Among them was a man named Taishan who looked stupid. After coming for a while, his skills did not improve much, so Lu Ban kicked him out. .

A few years later, Lu Ban was wandering on the street and suddenly found many well-made furniture, which were very popular among people.

Lu Ban thought about who this person was. He was so powerful. Someone told him: "He is your apprentice Taishan."

Lu Ban couldn't help but said with emotion: "I am really blind and unable to see Mount Tai!"

The idiom "Eye can't see Mount Tai" is similar to the idiom "Eye can't see Taishan", but the usage of the two is different.

For example, to describe someone who is not smart, you can say: You are really stupid, which means that your mind is not very flexible;

But if you say: You are as stupid as a pig, then the degree of stupidity is very great, and there are also very angry feelings in it.

Banmen
The modern idiom "the class's door is full of tricks" is also an idiom related to Luban.

It means: dancing with an ax in front of Luban Gate.

It is a metaphor for showing off one's skills in front of experts and not overestimating one's abilities.

This idiom is sometimes used as a self-effacing expression to express that one does not dare to show off one's little skills in front of experts.
