The upper part is meters: used to indicate the size of palaces, shrines and Buddhist instruments.
The lower part is Ding Lan ruler, which is mainly used in Yin houses and ancestral temples.
From top to bottom, there are four scales: Taiwan inch, Lu Banchi, Ding Lan ruler and centimeter.
When making custom-made houses and kitchen tables, ancient craftsmen positioned the height of beams, the area (length and width) of houses and the size of doors on auspicious characters according to the size of Lu half a foot.
Lubanchi is commonly known as "secretary". It's a foot, four inches and a minute long. Based on the five words of life, old age, illness, death and suffering, it is divided into eight grids, and each grid has its own bad luck. The order is: wealth (wealth, talent), illness (business disasters, disadvantages), separation (separation of six relatives), righteousness (conforming to justice and ethics, or persuading people to do good), official (official transport), robbery (robbery)
According to geomantic theory, generally speaking, the door of a house is only equipped with its own door and financial door, and the main entrance is a place where temples and schools can get together. If the word righteousness is used in the door, it will bring disaster, so we can only install the official door and compete with the official word.
The floor ruler, also known as "quasi-floor ruler", is a measuring tool used in building houses and houses, similar to the bending ruler used by craftsmen today. Lu Banchi, about 42.9 cm long, is said to have been written by a public school in Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. Later, eight characters were added to the geomantic circle to measure the good and bad luck of houses and houses, which was called "door plan". Its eight characters are: wealth, illness, divorce, righteousness, official, robbery, harm and capital. Under each word, it is divided into four small words to distinguish between good and bad.

The existing Luban pool is divided into four sizes from top to bottom:
Inches (needless to say)
Lubanchi (villa, furniture, doors and windows, etc. , 42.9 cm, I will explain it to you in detail below).
Rulers (Yin Zhai, Shen An, memorial tablet, etc. 39 centimeters is one foot, which will be explained in detail below)
The origin of Lu Banchi Lu Banchi introduced: Lu Ban was a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period and a famous craftsman in history. Lubanchi's ancestral home is Taiwan Province Province. Taiwan Province woodworking industry worships Luban as the founder. When carpenters make tables, doors, windows and furniture, they use a ruler of one foot, four inches and one minute. Rulers not only have dimensions, but also words to ward off evil spirits and take good luck. People call it Lu Banchi, also called secretary. It is said that Lu Ban and Wen Gong are both famous craftsmen, but Lu Ban is always superior, which makes Wen Gong very jealous. Once, these two men were ordered to lead their people to build a palace. While people were not looking, Jin Wengong sawed the ruler that Lu Ban used to measure the length short and changed it from one and a half feet to one and a half inches. When Lu Ban's disciples used this ruler to cut wood, they found that the length was wrong. Time was short and materials were exhausted. Lu Ban used his quick wits to replace the insufficient length with a stone pier, and the result was more solid and beautiful. The king was very satisfied. When people asked him how he had such a whimsical idea, Lu Ban smiled and replied, relying on the ruler given by Wen Gong! From then on, Wen Gong was convinced. This ruler has been handed down to this day. That is, the woodworking ruler, also known as the "square", is mainly used to check whether the planed plates, purlins and structures are vertical and whether the edges are at right angles. 1 Lu Banchi =0.8 Lu Banchi, a city ruler, was produced shortly after the integration of Ding Lan rulers, and then divided into inches and centimeters. It is an important tool for measurement and calibration. Because of its special function, it is most widely displayed in geomantic culture and architectural culture. When building a house and making furniture, we should use this ruler to measure the height, width and length from the whole to each part, so as to get the scales related to Geely and avoid the scales related to disasters, so as to adapt to the psychology of praying for peace and auspiciousness. Judging from the marked text content, it is obviously related to the old astrology. The floor ruler, also known as "quasi-floor ruler", is a measuring tool used in building houses and houses, similar to the bending ruler used by craftsmen today. It is divided into four rows from left to right, which are the traditional four scales of inch, Lu Banchi, Ding Lan ruler and centimeter. Lu Banchi, about 42.9 cm long, is said to have been written by a public school in Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. Later, eight characters were added to the geomantic circle to measure the good and bad luck of houses and houses, which was called "door plan". Its eight characters are: wealth, illness, divorce, righteousness, official, robbery, harm and capital. Under each word, it is divided into four small words to distinguish between good and bad.
