Luban Zhifu Leaning Pagoda.

According to legend, Lu Ban was the smartest and most capable craftsman in ancient China. His original name was Gongyi, because he was a native of Lu in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and Lu Ban became the title of his descendants.

Once, he came to Wu Guogu Sucheng, heaven on earth, and it really lived up to its name. The towers of the ancient city, the second arrangement, the teahouse and the wine shop, are very lively. Luban multiplied his interest, figuring out the characteristics of Suzhou architecture and having fun.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise. Lu Ban followed the prestige, and saw a newly built pagoda standing high in a grassy empty field in front of him. There was a group of people around the tower, shouting and shouting, and they didn't know what to do.

He walked over slowly, brushed aside the onlookers, and saw an old man dressed in satin, wearing a high crown, and a sachet tied around his waist, who was angry, with bruised tendons and eyebrows, and a great tendency to fight a bull. A middle-aged man squatting opposite the old man, holding his head in his hands, looked dejected. Lu Ban was so strange that he didn't know what was going on when he asked.

The old man was a well-known local rich man, and in order to accumulate good deeds, he was ready to build a pagoda, which will be passed down through the ages.

The work was carried out by the craftsman. After nearly three years of hard work, the pagoda was finally completed. But somehow, although the pagoda was built, it was always tilted regardless of whether it was viewed horizontally or vertically.

After measurement, the pagoda is indeed inclined nearly ten degrees. People shook their heads at each other and pointed at each other. The rich man thought that building a tower was against the objections, and he was very angry, and it also detracted from the completion of his merits, so he personally found the craftsman to settle the account

Either tear down and rebuild, or straighten the pagoda, otherwise, it must be sent to the government for strict handling.

This stumped the craftsmen, if they wanted to tear down and rebuild, they would be selling their sons and daughters, and they would not be able to withstand the economic pressure if they were bankrupt; If the tower is straightened, this will not be done, because although the pagoda is wooden, there are still about one million catties, and you can only look at the tower and sigh!

Lu Ban took a closer look around the pagoda, looked at the helpless craftsman, and walked over to comfort: "Don't worry, as long as you find me some wood, I can straighten it in less than a month!" ”

When the craftsman heard this, he was skeptical, but there was no other way. So he brought the wood and waited with a glimmer of hope. As for Lu Ban, he didn't let anyone intervene to help, and cut the wood he carried into many small wooden wedges with inclined planes, and knocked them in from the inclined side of the top of the tower one by one, so that the inclined side was slowly raised.

In this way, I got up early and worked in the dark for a month, and the pagoda really stood upright.

The craftsman asked Lu Ban gratefully: "Engong, why can you make the pagoda stand upright with such a remedy?" ”

Lu Ban replied: "Because the leaning tower is wooden, it is a bucket structure, and the pulling between the parts is relatively strong and can form an organic whole, so it can be straightened by beating wooden wedges." And the wooden wedge is inclined again, it is easier to hit inward, has the effect of 'four or two dialing a thousand catties', and can raise the height of the inclined plane of the tower after hitting it, so that the tower is no longer tilted. ”
