The Basic Contents of Lu Ban Jing

The introduction of technical knowledge in Lu Ban Jing is rather general, but from the book, we can learn the business responsibilities and scope of ancient Han craftsmen, the construction process of Han architecture, the general construction time and orientation, and so on. In the traditional architecture of the Han nationality in the southeast coastal provinces, the forms and practices it introduced can still be seen. Many of the furniture introduced can also be seen in these places. The use of Luban real ruler is still used by Han craftsmen. Ancient Chinese architectural techniques are rarely recorded in official history, and most of them are handed down from generation to generation by craftsmen in the form of dictation and notes. There are few special books compiled by craftsmen themselves.

"Lu Ban Jing" records: rich in righteousness, natural landscapes, towns and houses, resisting all disasters, auspicious houses, and prosperous homes. Interpretation: Yi Fu, the first disciple of Luban, said that natural landscape is a good feng shui implication of fairyland, referring to the land god (god) in natural landscape fairyland. The natural landscape also implies that Mount Tai can be a town house, and all disasters, storms, thunder, lightning, ghosts and gods, and land gods can resist it. The disaster is resisted by the floor of the house, so the family naturally has no disaster, and conforming to nature brings good luck and prosperity to the family.
