There are few special books compiled by craftsmen themselves. Yu Hao, a carpenter in the early Song Dynasty, wrote the Wood Classics, but it has long been lost, and only some fragments of Meng Qian Bi Tan written by Shen Kuo are left.

Only "Lu Ban Jing" in Ming Dynasty is a special book of folk woodworking industry, with multiple versions and important historical value. The predecessor of this book is the Luban architectural method in the middle Ming Dynasty (from Chenghua to Hongzhi, 1465 ~ 1505) collected by Tianyi Pavilion in Ningbo, which is now incomplete.

The arrangement order is more logical. Firstly, the horizontal and vertical tools, site samples and cross-section beams of general houses are discussed, and then special types of buildings and architectural details, such as humps and hanging fish, are discussed.

In addition, there are many illustrations, which complement the text and retain many techniques of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Wanli edition, more than 100 years after Tianyi Pavilion edition, was renamed Luban Jing Jiang Jiajing.
