How to use wenmi

The common Lu Banchi is divided into upper and lower parts: as shown in the figure

The upper part is wenmi, which is used for the mansion, the shrine and the size of Buddhist instruments.

The lower part is Ding Lan ruler: it is mostly used in yin houses and ancestral shrines.

From top to bottom, there are four scales: Taiwan inch, Lu Banchi, Ding Lan ruler and centimeter.

The height of the beam, the area (length and width) of the house and the size of the door were all positioned on auspicious characters according to the size of Lu Banchi.

Lu Banchi is commonly known as Wenmi. It is one foot, four inches and one minute long. Based on the five words of birth, old age, illness, death and suffering, it is divided into eight squares, each of which has its own bad luck. The order is: wealth (money, talent), illness (business disaster patients, disadvantages), separation (separation of six parents), righteousness (in line with justice and moral norms, or persuading people to do good), official (official transport) and robbery (robbery)

According to the theory of Feng Shui, in general, the door of a house is only equipped with its own door and financial door, and the righteous door is the place where the temples and schools can gather together. If the gate uses the righteous word, there will be disaster, and the official door can only be installed by the government. If the gate is combined with the official word, there will be a lawsuit with the government.

Ding Lan ruler (Yinzhai, Shenan, memorial tablet, etc. .39 cm is one foot, below. Lu Banchi originated in Taiwan Province. Taiwan Province's woodworking industry worships Lu Ban as the founder. When carpenters make tables, doors, windows and furniture, they will use a ruler with a length of one foot, four inches and one minute. The ruler not only has dimensions, but also has words to avoid evil and take good luck. People call it Lu Banchi, also called Wenmi. According to legend, both Lu Ban and Wen Gong are famous craftsmen, but Lu Ban is always superior, which makes Wen Gong very jealous. Once, the two men were ordered to lead their own people to build a palace. When people weren't looking, Duke Wen sawed the ruler that Lu Ban used to measure the length short, and changed it from one foot and a half to one foot and four inches. When Lu Ban's disciples cut the wood with this ruler, they found that the length was wrong. Time was short, materials were exhausted, and Lu Ban used his quick wits to replace the insufficient length with a stone pier, which made the result more solid and beautiful. The king was very satisfied. When people asked him how he had such a fantastic idea, Lu Ban smiled and answered, relying on the ruler given by Wen Gong! From then on, Wen Gong was convinced. This ruler has been handed down to this day. That is, the woodworking ruler, also known as the "angle ruler", is mainly used to check whether the planed boards, purlins and structures are vertical or not and the edges are at right angles. 1 Lu Banchi =.8 city ruler Lu Banchi soon merged Ding Lan ruler, and then merged into inches and centimeters.
