The beginning of the story of the woodworking artist Lu Ban
Luban comes from a long-standing carpentry family, and he has been learning this ancient craft from his father since he was a child. Lu Ban showed extraordinary talent, and his understanding of wood and manipulation skills seemed to be born with him. His craft is not only flexible but also powerful, capable of carving simple wooden blocks into lifelike pieces. Lu Ban is full of love for his craft, and he carves it on the workbench day and night, putting a lot of effort into every piece of wood. Sometimes, he even walks into the forest alone in the middle of the night, listening to the sounds of the trees and feeling the life force in the wood.
Luban's fame soon spread rapidly in his hometown. Many villagers came to learn the carpentry skills from the young carpenter. In the face of eager scholars, Lu Ban showed humility and patience, slowly sharing his experience and experience with them.
With the passage of time, Luban's understanding of woodworking gradually deepened. He began to compile the skills and experience he had accumulated over the years into a book. This book records in detail all aspects from the selection of wood to the use of tools, and conducts in-depth research on architectural structure, craftsmanship, and aesthetics, and finally the book is naturally named - "Luban Book".
A magical book of craftsmanship is born
The publication of the Book of Luban immediately caused a huge repercussion in the field of carpentry. In that era of lack of industry monographs, this book that brings together the essence of industry wisdom is particularly precious. Many carpenters have come from afar to get a glimpse of this magical book.
After reading it, they all admired Lu Ban's deep insight into the art of carpentry, and praised him as the pinnacle of carpentry skills. Luban became famous as a result, and his reputation spread all over the world. is inseparable from Lu Ban, as well as his smart and beautiful wife Liu Meng. She is a singer in the township, good at playing the guqin, and has a melodious singing voice. Liu Meng, who has loved ** since childhood, also deeply attracted Lu Ban.
The two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and their affection is long, and they eventually become married. After marriage, Liu Meng became the most loyal listener in Luban's workshop. She often listened to Lu Ban's whimsical ideas about carpentry while playing the guqin, and enjoyed a quiet and happy life together. But the good times were short-lived, and the war finally spread to their peaceful home.
The outbreak of war forced Lu Ban and Liu Meng to leave their homeland. The lovers are forced to separate and can only look forward to the day when they meet again. In the long days and nights of separation, Liu Meng often played the guqin in the moonlight, turning his thoughts into notes and drifting into the distance; Luban, on the other hand, tapped the wooden fish in the middle of the night, hoping that the melodious music would drift into his wife's sleep.
Luban's ingenuity and affectionate waiting
In the days of waiting and lovesickness, Luban's craftsmanship and creativity reached unprecedented heights. He is determined to create a legendary artifact – a pair of flying wooden wings, symbolizing that his love with Liu Meng transcends the constraints of time and space.
He chose the finest paulownia and pine, two woods whose lightness and toughness suited his vision. Working day and night, every moment embodies Lu Ban's thoughts and expectations for Liu Meng. The wooden kite he made is not only realistic in shape, but also a key component - a pair of wooden wings, which can move flexibly, as if it can really fly.
This wooden kite is not only the pinnacle of Luban's carpentry skills, but also a symbol of his deep love for his wife. In the process of making wooden kites, Lu Ban poured countless efforts and wisdom. He carefully designed the complex mechanical structure to ensure the flight stability of the wooden kite. He repeatedly adjusts the elasticity of his wings to ensure that they can be elegantly unfolded and retracted.
We can imagine that in those long nights, Lu Ban's heart was full of thoughts of Liu Meng and longing for the moment when they met again. And when Liu Meng finally appeared in front of him on a spring afternoon, all the hard work and waiting turned into dust. She was deeply moved by Lu Ban's ingenuity, and Lu Ban told her about her thoughts and persistence over the years in the voice of a wooden fish.
This reunion is not only a reunion of two hearts, but also the highest praise for Luban's skills. Their story has been widely told in the town, and it has become a good story in the mouths of the people, telling the beautiful combination of love and talent.
A cruel twist of fate and the birth of a forbidden work
The good times soon passed, and when Liu Meng and Lu Ban released the wooden flying kite together in the courtyard, the unfortunate wheel of fate turned cruelly again. An unexpected wind suddenly struck, and the wooden kite, which had been flying steadily, suddenly lost its balance and fell violently towards the ground. Liu Meng looked at the falling wooden kite in amazement, and Lu Ban was also caught off guard.
With a loud crash, Liu Meng fell to the ground, unable to get up again, and Lu Ban called her name sadly, but the response was silence. The sudden death of his wife made Lu Ban feel deeply heartbroken. He self-criticized in his grief and reflected on whether he was responsible for his wife's death, and this self-blame and anger continued to torment him.
He began to avoid the people around him, closing himself in his house and refusing to communicate with the outside world. In the end, when he reappeared one day, he announced with a blank face that his "Book of Luban" would be regarded as ** from now on and would be forbidden to be read. This act immediately attracted the attention of the rulers. In their view, Luban may be blaming social injustice and the sins of war.
Such an attitude of defiance must be severely punished. Thus, for the first time, Luban experienced the pain of prison and the pain of whipping, and he was also forced to terminate his career as a carpenter and was placed under close surveillance. Despite this, Lu Ban still insisted on his opinion, preferring to suffer great pain, and never rescinded the ban on his own books.
