In rural areas, among the professions of carpenters, stonemasons and blacksmiths, it is said that the carpenter is the one who should not be offended the most. Why exactly?

Because in rural areas in the past, people had to deal with carpenters throughout their lives. Carpenters were needed for many things in life, such as building houses, so carpenters were not to be offended. If you offend the carpenter, your house may not be built as expected.

In the past, when the social economy was not so developed, there were always a few craftsmen in the village. Whenever the family needed something, they would go to these craftsmen, as if they could do anything. If you accidentally offend these craftsmen, your life may be affected.

For example, blacksmiths mainly make iron tools, such as pots and pans, as well as tools used by farmers in the village to plow fields. Masons mainly work with stones, such as paving roads and building bridges. Some masons also carve tombstones. The tombstones they make by hand are also extremely beautiful. In that era when there were very few plastic products and iron products, carpenters were very important. Carpenters were needed to make tables, stools, beds, wardrobes, shelves, etc. at home, especially houses. There were relatively few brick houses at that time, and the villages were basically houses with civil structures. Roofs, beams, and pillars all required carpenters. Help complete it.

People in the village attach great importance to the construction of houses, so when they hire carpenters to help build a house, they usually serve them with delicious food and drink. They are afraid that the carpenter will be unhappy and not build a house with you properly. The quality of the house that comes out is not guaranteed, or you may be afraid that the carpenter will deliberately delay the construction of your house, but you can't say anything yet. So people at that time said that you should not offend carpenters. You need carpenters to build a house during your lifetime, and you need carpenters to build a coffin for your death. If you offend a carpenter, you are asking for trouble.
