The status of ancient carpenters was not high, why did no one dare to offend them easily

In ancient times, there was a saying that there are three kinds of people who should not be provoked in life, the first is the midwife, the second is the grave keeper, and the third is the carpenter. So why is that?

Carpenter in ancient times is a technical work, and the carpenter's skills are mostly in the form of oral transmission, from ancient times to the present day about the carpenter of the compilation is very little, the Ming Dynasty handed down the "Luban Jing" content in addition to the industry technology, but also with some metaphysical content, so the ancient carpenter may not only be sawing wood so simple, there is a wild history record, said that a family surnamed Mo, after living in a new house, will be awakened by the sound of fighting every night, but can never find the source, even if the method is not effective, and then had to sell the property, Later, when the buyer was cleaning, he found that two people were carved on the beam, and the cloaks were scuffled together, and after asking the reason, he learned that the previous owner had offended the carpenter, which may have been retaliated.

There is another record that the daughter of a rich man lived a very chaotic life, often fooling around with the opposite sex in the house, and the reputation of the house was extremely bad, and the rich man was also repeatedly persuaded to no avail, and was very annoyed, but there was nothing to be done. Later, when repairing the roof, it was found that the rafters were carved with the patterns of many men and women who misbehaved, so he asked someone to remove the wood, and his daughter's problem was completely solved. It can be seen that in addition to their exquisite skills, ancient carpenters also seem to have requirements for mastering the mystics of feng shui.

Most of the buildings in ancient times were mainly made of wood, and the position of carpenters was extremely important, not only in design, but also in the selection of materials. Although the status is not high, but employers generally treat each other well, because they are afraid of ** inconsiderate, in case you meet a cautious craftsman, do a little tricks, then it will be difficult to say what will happen later. As can be seen from the previous example, in addition to the basic skills, most carpenters in ancient times also knew yin and yang feng shui and spells and occult arts, plus the ancients were very feudal and superstitious, and anything that was difficult to explain would move closer to the things of ghosts and gods.

Because the demand for carpenters in society was very large at that time, and many furniture were operated by carpenters, so no one dared to offend them.

Ancient carpenters, as one of the lowest professions in ancient times, the reason why no one dared to offend easily was because most of the buildings and furniture in ancient times were made by carpenters, and if they offended carpenters, they might do something on them, leaving safety hazards, so no one dared to mess with them.

Because legend has it that anyone who knows how to carpenter will use spells, and no one wants to be cast by themselves, so no one messes with them.

In ancient times, occupations were hierarchical, and there were three professions of low social status that no one dared to offend, namely midwives, gravediggers, and carpenters.

First, because most of the ancient wooden mortise and tenon structure of the house, whenever you need to build a house, add furniture only rely on the carpenter, it can be said that the life of the family is in the hands of others, how dare to offend others, if the carpenter in the house to do his hands and feet, then the consequences are unpredictable.

The second is because of the carpenter ancestor Lu Ban (of course, not Master Lu Ban in a certain medicine), it is said that he circulated the next book called "Lu Ban Jing", which wrote many feng shui secrets, of course, this book can not be a copy of the book, so the carpenter apprentices to teach the skills are passed on by word of mouth, hand-in-hand teaching, rich in theoretical knowledge is not good, must be practiced, so the apprentices are mostly exercised in practice. Since everyone only knows about this mysterious book, but they don't know the content of the book, and only the carpenter knows about it, this invisibly increases the mystery of the carpenter, so they are afraid that after offending the carpenter, he will do something bad when he works for himself.

The third is that there is a specialization in the art industry, and no one knows the working principle of the carpenter except for me, plus the ancients have some fans, and the carpenter profession is even more difficult to provoke. There are also some legends that carpenter's tools can ward off evil spirits and prevent all evils, and these remarks make people even more afraid to offend carpenters. In ancient times, there were some inferior gentry, often in arrears of workers' wages, but for the carpenter's wages never dared to be in arrears, in addition to not arrears of wages, but also good food and drink, for fear of offending something, so that the carpenter in the construction of their own house is a trick, small will invite disaster, big will die.

Therefore, in ancient times, people treated carpenters very favorably for the sake of their own houses and their furniture to be strong and durable, which is why the social status of carpenters in ancient times was very low, but people did not dare to offend him.

Carpenter is a technical job, in ancient times, even if the master was stingy, the carpenter should be treated respectfully, and the carpenter was inseparable from the carpenter, so the status of the carpenter in ancient times was not worth mentioning today (today's factory mechanization has replaced the carpenter), they were second only to the farmers and industry and commerce, ranking third.

In ancient times, there were three kinds of people who could not be offended, including carpenters, and it is said that offending the carpenter would lead to restlessness in the family, which would cause disaster and loss of wealth, and ruin the family. Because most old carpenters not only understand wood work, but also yin and yang feng shui and charms are their basic skills. For example, Lu Ban's apprentices and grandchildren, they are not only skilled carpenters, but also amazing in metaphysics and spell skills.

Carpenter is a skilled job, and in ancient times, technicians were all masters and apprentices, and there were very few people who knew how to do it. And they are needed to build houses and make furniture, and it is said that the earliest carpenter Lu Ban is through metaphysics, so ordinary people will not offend them easily.

In ancient times, most of the wooden mortise and tenon structure houses needed to build houses or build furniture, all through the hands of carpenters, if you offend the carpenter, the carpenter will not know what to do in your house.

In ancient times, most carpenters not only knew how to work with wood, but also their basic skills in yin and yang feng shui and charms.

Ancient carpenters are not simple, they not only only can pull wood, but also understand the almost lost feng shui mysteries, to this day there are old people who say that when building a house, do not scold carpenters, bricklayers, because offending them is unpredictable.

Because most of the old carpenters not only know how to carpenter, but also know yin and yang feng shui and charms, etc., if you offend them, the family will be restless, and the family will be ruined.
