What structure does China Luban Lock represent in ancient buildings?

Lubansuo, also known as Kongmingsuo, mainly represents the ancient tenon-mortise structure. At the same time, it was also invented by Lu Ban, a carpenter in China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because of its different shape and internal structure, it is a way for traditional carpentry to combine two or more structures.

In ancient buildings in China, the basic components were connected by tenon-mortise structure. This is mainly based on the way that Luban lock is easy to install and difficult to disassemble. At the same time, Luban locks are also used by modern architects for architectural modeling. The interlocking of several building blocks makes the whole building appear as a huge "Luban lock", which embodies the characteristics of China traditional culture that attaches importance to the relationship between the whole and the part, and also symbolizes that science has no absolute boundaries and disciplines are mutually integrated and promoted. It can be said that it is quite perfect.

Luban lock is characterized by no nails and is completely made of wood. Fully supported by the connection of its own structure, it shows a seemingly simple but extraordinary wisdom. In ancient China, palaces and temples could not be built with nails, which would destroy geomantic omen, but must be made with interlocking tenons. At the same time, China people's superb skills and rich experience in using wood are second to none in the world history, which fully embodies the magic and mystery of China architecture.

This is also a common architectural means in ancient times. It can be said that this is the treasure house of our ancient knowledge and the crystallization of ancient wisdom.
