Why are Chinese mortise and tenon blocks so popular overseas?

The biggest reason why mortise-and-tenon building blocks have become so popular overseas is that they have their own endless charm. No need for a nail, no need to incorporate modern architectural elements, you can make a house rise, such blocks, for young children, is also a very good puzzle educational games.

Our country as one of the four ancient civilizations, ancient architecture in the feudal history, leaving a very heavy one. Preserved buildings today, there are many from the mortise and tenon structure, this structure is loved by the ancients, but also the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients.

Nowadays, this skill has been used less and less in life, but there are still many people who are willing to pass on this skill. With mortise and tenon structure made of building block toys, in foreign countries can also fire, I think the following two aspects of the reason.

Understanding China's ancient architecture good opportunity

Our country's ancient architecture, now still standing, and is known to the world, when the first push the Forbidden City. In ancient times, when building houses, without a nail, completely relying on mortise and tenon structure, will be able to build the house is completed, such a thing, in the eyes of foreigners, is bound to be very magical, but also feel incredible.

There is no actual opportunity to participate in the construction of ancient buildings, but you can experience the magic and fun of building ancient buildings by building mortise and tenon blocks. I think this is a very important reason why mortise-and-tenon blocks are sold so well abroad.

Puzzle games for children's growth stage

Blocks are a very friendly companion for children on their way to growth. Partner? Children through the assembly of blocks, can exercise their hands, and spatial imagination. Especially the mortise and tenon structure, for children, is a challenge, but also more to stimulate their interests.

Compared with the traditional building block toys, the mortise and tenon structure is new, fashionable and full of mystery. I think children in western countries must be full of curiosity and imagination for toys from the ancient civilization of the East.

Seeing our mortise-and-tenon structure, which can shine in the West, I feel proud of myself and admire the wisdom of the ancients, who were able to use such a method to build a lot of world-famous ancient buildings.
