Assembly method of kongmingsuo

The assembly method of Kongmingsuo is as follows:

1. First, put the first block vertically upward and clip the second block horizontally into the hole above the first block.

2. Place the third block vertically with the first two blocks, clamp it on the second block and push it in, and fill the gap between the second blocks with the fourth block.

3. Symmetry with the third block, so that the gap of the fifth block blocks the middle two blocks upwards, and then insert the sixth block into the square gap in the middle.

The origin of Kong Mingsuo:

Kongmingsuo was once widely circulated among the people. People pay more and more attention to it, which is conducive to relaxing body and mind, developing brain and flexible fingers. It is a leisure toy suitable for all ages. Kongmingsuo seems simple, but the mystery inside is endless, and it is difficult to complete the splicing. This is just one of the legends.

Another legend says that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu's craftsman Lu Ban made a detachable toy out of six pieces of wood and told his son to take it apart. After a busy night, my son finally opened it.

This kind of toy was later called Luban Lock. In fact, this is just a legend. It originated from the tenon-mortise structure in ancient buildings in China. Therefore, Kongmingsuo is also known as Lubansuo, Besapu, Zilianfang, Mocher Pusi, Nanmu, Fansuo and No.7 Lock.
