In rural areas, carpenters, masons and blacksmiths, why can't they offend carpenters the most?

Hello everyone! I am "the elder brother of the northwest countryside". Let me answer this question. I have been a carpenter for 20 years, and I know carpenters bit by bit. For these three artists, why can't I offend carpenters the most? There are three reasons!

First, carpenters have a lot of witchcraft in legend, and dare not use witchcraft to harm people: as we all know, carpenters are disciples of Lu Ban, and the legendary Lu Ban will use all kinds of witchcraft to punish the wicked. If they offend carpenters and dare not use witchcraft on themselves and their families, they not only dare to offend, but also entertain them with delicious food when they invite carpenters to work!

Secondly, in the past, there were very few carpenters in rural areas, and if they were offended, they were afraid that they could not get them: in the past, there were very few carpenters in rural areas, and many things in people's lives were done by carpenters, such as repairing houses, making furniture, making coffins for the elderly, and so on. All kinds of agricultural tools could not be made and repaired without carpenters. If I offend carpenters, I am not only embarrassed to invite them at home, but also afraid that I won't come!

Third, carpentry is a hard work and deserves people's respect. If you offend it, you will feel a little immoral. Although a carpenter is an artist, his job is both mental and physical. In the absence of machinery before, everything they did was heavy physical labor, which was not easy and quite hard.

One more thing, the carpenter's work is varied and complicated, and he must master everything. For example, to build a semi-antique house with four doors and four purlins, you must have excellent technology and a lot of mental work. Therefore, carpenters can be said to be a kind of talents in rural areas and are often respected by people. If you offend the carpenter, it will be a bit immoral, so you will not offend the carpenter generally.

Carpenters can't be offended, so you will understand that people have to live in three houses in their lifetime, the "meat house" in the womb, the mud tile house after marriage and the last "coffin house". Carpenters can decide the size, length and comfort of coffins. Do you think this carpenter will offend you? After reading the following story, you will know why carpenters are so powerful.

I remember that in 2000, Lao Wang in the village died of a sudden myocardial infarction because of drinking. Lao Wang was only 49 years old, even less than 50 years old. Lao Wang was also a carpenter. The two people who were drinking with him, one was a carpenter, the other was a carpenter, and the other was a bricklayer. Their families were very sad when they learned that. But at that time, they had not said that a table of people had accidentally lost money because of drinking, so their family quickly arranged a funeral. Because of an accident, Lao Wang didn't customize the coffin. Lao Wang is a tall man with a height of 1 m 85. Generally, the finished coffins in coffin shops are not suitable for him, so he must make one now. The carpenter who drinks with Lao Wang is always the shopkeeper of the coffin shop.

But this Lao Wang once had a conflict with the coffin shop owner because of the carpenter business. I also drank this time because Lao Wang wanted to tell Lao Wang that there was a carpenter project that he wanted them to work together. But during the dinner, Lao Wang was not satisfied with his reward, and Lao Wang did not give in because of his age. During the dinner, the two had an argument on this matter, or it may be because of the strong alcohol, and Lao Wang had a heart attack. But this old man seems a little different. When Lao Wang didn't have a suitable coffin, the lion spoke. A coffin that was originally 1000 yuan rose to 2000 yuan, and he also said it would take five days to get it. The old Wang family was so angry that they said they would smash the coffin shop. Later, everyone in the village opened it, but there was such a coffin shop in Shili Baxiang.

Lao Wang stayed in the ice coffin for five days. When the pipe came, the family carried Lao Wang into the pipe, only to find that the original 6' 3 coffin was surprisingly small. Although Lao Wang's body will expand, it is not so small, and the whole family looks very small no matter how it is placed. Later, the old man suddenly said, "NND, reduce it to 6 feet 1". This is really an old family. Since then, the old man's notoriety has spread in the village, so that later, the old man's son can't find anyone in the village.

From the above story, you should know why carpenters can't be offended. If you want the house to be comfortable at last, you should wait on the carpenter. After all, carpenters are the only skilled craftsmen who can't get rid of the wind and rain. Masons and blacksmiths do manual labor. This carpenter sells brains and skills, so let's treat the carpenters around us well so as not to be uncomfortable when we get old, don't you think?

I heard from the old people in the village that it was another version. It is said that carpenters know how to use Luban. Before they begin, Master will teach their disciples a spell to deal with those wicked people. So most people ask carpenters to work and dare not offend them easily. They are all delicious and polite.

Legend has it that a carpenter, when building a house for others, was resentful because of his host's poor hospitality, so he cast a spell when building a house. After the house was finished, the carpenter went home.

The carpenter had nothing to do for the first few days. Half a month later, when the family goes to bed every night, they always hear a woman crying at the door in the middle of the night. The man came out bravely and didn't see anyone. He just went back to lie down and heard the woman crying again. In this way, for a month in a row, I almost scared my family crazy when I heard a woman crying at night.

The master told the neighbor about it, and the neighbor asked him, if you think about it carefully, did you offend the carpenter? The master thought for a moment and said that it was possible that the carpenter only ate one meal of meat when he was working in his house. Maybe it was poor hospitality and the carpenter held a grudge.

Neighbors advised him to take a gift to the carpenter's house, apologize and see what the carpenter said. The master was no longer stingy, so he spent a lot of money and bought a lot of food and clothes for the carpenter.

The carpenter said nothing but that you should go home. It's nothing. Maybe the wind blew into the tree in front of your house and made a noise. Since then, I have never heard a woman cry.

Before the 1960s, farmers had to grow crops to support their families and depend on the weather for food. Without any financial resources, if they know a trade in the countryside, it will be a great thing, among which carpentry is the most enviable occupation.

In the countryside, many people need carpenters. Children need carpenters to get married, players need carpenters to build houses, and carpenters are needed to make coffins when the old man dies. Old people in the village often say that hunger won't kill craftsmen, and carpenters used to be very popular.

I remember when my second sister got married, I asked two carpenters in the village to give her a dowry, that is, beating some wardrobes, cabinets and boxes with wood.

At that time, I was in the second grade of primary school, that is, in the 1980s. At that time, the conditions at home were not very good. If there is something delicious at home, I must have guests at home or on holidays. Since I invited a carpenter to my house as a dowry for my second sister, my mother has cooked many delicious foods every day. These things are usually reluctant to take out and eat. Of course, I was always happy then.

At that time, if a carpenter was willing to teach you the craft, it was really a smoke from the ancestral grave.

There is a big square table in my home, where guests from home usually eat. No matter how many times my floor has been made in recent years, it is important to pad one leg of this generous table, because it is not as long as the other three legs.

Why are the four legs not the same length? Because in the process of building this table, my father had an argument with the carpenter. My impression seems to be that when building the table, my father put forward some design suggestions, but the carpenter disagreed with his father's suggestions. I remember the carpenter said, it's up to you, or it's up to me. In the end, the two of them had a bad time.

According to the rules of our hometown, this square table can't be repaired when it is finished, and it can't be rebuilt until the next generation gets married. There is no way but to use it in the end. My father will laugh every time he uses this table in recent years, and then he will say to me, please find someone quickly.

A carpenter is what we call a carpenter. In the past, the wooden furniture in the homes of ordinary rural people was made by carpenters.

Masons usually use stones as raw materials to build related items, such as stone tablets, stone troughs, grinding discs and so on.

A blacksmith is a craftsman who works or forges iron. The hoes, sickles and shovels used in the countryside are all made by blacksmiths.

In the past, in rural areas, there was little or no furniture sold in general market towns. All the furniture needed was wood provided by our family and built by carpenters nearby. Chairs, tables, long tables, beds, doors, cabinets, coffins and other necessities at home depend on carpenters.

So carpenters used to be red, which led to some arrogance. If you are not careful, you may offend the carpenter. However, if the carpenter is offended, if there is a gap in the door at home, if the bed is uneven, it will have a serious impact on life. Some influences cannot be easily changed afterwards, and they can only be endured silently. For example, as mentioned above, my desk looks like this.

Even now, carpenters still enjoy high treatment. I have an uncle on the construction team. He is in charge of carpentry in the construction team. His salary is much higher than others in the construction team, and there are often other construction teams trying to dig his corner.

Although masons and blacksmiths can't offend in the end, they don't have much influence on life like carpenters. After all, some of the things they make can be replaced by other things, and some are not often used.

Carpenters, masons and blacksmiths are all great craftsmen in the countryside. In the past, when things were scarce, it was always delicious for the host's family to ask them to work even if they ate bran and swallowed vegetables. This shows the importance attached to these craftsmen. Carpenters, in particular, have a wide range of occupations, from repairing cars and building houses to farm tools and daily necessities. More importantly, we should show a hundred times enthusiasm and prepare materials according to their orders without any objection. Carpenters can't afford to offend, but here are the reasons:

It is likely to waste materials. Carpenters always make predictions before doing work, and use his saw, axe and other tools to split and cut large pieces of wood. Carpenters already know what to make long and what to make short, and even those scraps are used as wedges. Carpenter is not only a profitable job, but also a hard job. Isn't there a folk saying that "carpenters make a living"? Work is very tiring, and my heart is not happy. If the master comes to "criticize", it will make the carpenter more angry. As soon as you saw it, the aniseed became smaller and useless; Small materials are also used to the best of their ability and piled up in waste products. The size is in the carpenter's heart, and people have the final say. In order to achieve your satisfaction, you have to find another material that makes you laugh and cry.

Jerry-building is inevitable. When carpenters work, they must take care of food and drink. People can work by the day or piece. By the day, a day's work is a day's salary. The speed of work is also controlled by the carpenter himself, and the cutting, planing and punching of materials are all in his hands; Step by step, there is a price for doing a job, making a sum of money. The carpenter was unhappy and afraid of making less money, so he put down his job and went to work. Although there are different ways to earn money, the carpenter's psychology is the same. If the food is not well cooked or talks too much, the carpenter's "counter-measure" method is "muddling along" Anyway, it is necessary for him to take a day off slowly. If it's a set meal, it's a big deal to cut corners and laymen can't see anything wrong. If it is made of longevity materials, it will be in big trouble. When the body is buried, it's too late to regret it.

Rough workmanship. Carpenter's craft is a delicate job, and there are technical requirements for size, drilling and planing, which are interlocking, so that the objects made are meticulous, strong and beautiful. It must be said that carpenters are cautious people, otherwise there would be no so-called "long carpenters". A cautious person has many ideas and even cares. Carpenters are reluctant to eat, drink or pick. The size is greatly reduced, the drilling is only shallow and not deep, and the plane is not straight. As long as the finished materials are installed, the stability is there, and the practicality and durability are not guaranteed. Especially the purlins and beams for building houses, as long as they are erected, how can others know? In the past, they were all inlaid with chisels, unlike the current iron fasteners, which have poor safety performance.

Fortunately, with the development and changes of the times and history, modern tools, furniture, cement roofs, steel and aluminum doors and windows have emerged, and the carpenter industry has gradually disappeared. Even the coffins were ordered in the coffin shop, so I'm not afraid to offend the carpenter anymore!

Xiang Jian answers your question. With the continuous development of rural areas, those craftsmen in rural areas are becoming more and more popular now. When it comes to rural craftsmen, I think what impresses everyone most are carpenters, masons, blacksmiths, masons and other occupations. It is precisely because of these people that farmers will not lack anything in their daily lives. For example, houses in the past were basically built by masons, carpenters and masons. Without masons, there is no foundation, without carpenters, there is no building structure, without masons, there is no wall. However, to say that carpenters, masons, blacksmiths, masons and other occupations are the most respected carpenters, the villagers dare not offend carpenters. Why is this?

First, the carpenter's granddaddy was Lu Ban. In rural areas, it is often said that people who claim to be "axe in front of Lu Ban", which shows how high Lu Ban's prestige is in rural areas. It is precisely because of this that carpenters in the past were respected and had a higher status in the village.

Second, in the past, in the process of farmers' life and production, almost everything was related to carpenters, such as houses, furniture, farm tools, coffins and so on. Moreover, the number of carpenters in the past was in short supply, and few people in a village knew about it. You offended the carpenter, and he was generous and didn't care about you, but he kept it in mind, so it was not so easy to ask him for help in the future.

This is a real example of our village. Lao Zhang and Lao Wang in the village are carpenters who specialize in making longevity wood for people, because the people who make longevity wood here don't make it for themselves. Among them, the older Lao Zhang, who is over 80 years old, is not ready for the coffin. Because Lao Zhang's craftsmanship and popularity are better, he is basically asked to make coffins for the elderly outside the village. It is precisely because of this that I unconsciously offended Lao Wang. Later, Lao Zhang wanted Lao Wang to make him a century-old coffin, but Lao Wang refused at first. Under Lao Zhang's repeated good words, Lao Wang accepted the price of two or three times the market at that time. It can be seen that in rural areas, craftsmen like carpenters really can't be offended, otherwise it won't be so easy when people are needed.

Dear friends, are there many carpenters in your village?

Hehehe, I am a carpenter. I don't think I can afford to offend this, but I can talk about carpenters.

In the past, carpenters, blacksmiths and masons were all craftsmen, and their work was closely related to people's production and life. Without these craftsmen, many things are difficult to accomplish, so they have to ask for help. Naturally, it is common for them to respect others and offend others. Actually, it's very simple. A craftsman is a human being. He has no superhuman powers. It's just that he knows how to make these handicrafts.

It is worth mentioning that these craftsmen have a bad habit, that is, they have a big temper. Perhaps it is because there are few people who know how to work, and laymen don't understand, even if they help, it is difficult to get what they want, and it is indeed the case;

There are over 65,438+000 families in our village. I was an apprentice at the age of 65,438+08 and an apprentice at the age of 265,438+0. I am the highest-ranking carpenter in the village. At that time, they were all made by hand, and there were no such good power tools as now. No matter who built the house, from girders to purlins, from doors and windows to doors and windows, I asked my daughter-in-law to make cabinets and furniture. It was purely to help, so I served delicious drinks, cigarettes, wine and a kind smile to every household. They all come to the door for help a few days in advance, and they help for many days when they enter a house. Until today, I haven't received a penny from Laozi and Zhuangzi, but many people give me some holiday gifts every year, such as cigarettes, wine, chicken, duck and fish. After giving in, I will stay and let my wife change later.

I stopped being a carpenter many years ago and started doing other businesses a long time ago, but everyone still respects each other. I like carpenter's work. I bought a full set of electric tools and decorated my house six years ago. Since people learned about it, the old and the young in the village called me when they were in trouble. To tell the truth, this is not a big deal in the eyes of artists, but it is a big deal in the eyes of people who don't understand. Why not make it as easy as blowing off dust? Anyway, I don't think there is anything I can't afford to offend. You are the only craftsman in the world, especially in this era. Advanced tools are so common and young people are so smart. If you are in trouble, you can buy a tool yourself and get it done in one minute. Now all major renovations are one-time contract acceptance. Without acceptance, you won't get the project payment. Now, you pay attention to one-off, don't ask how strong it is, look at how many years each piece of furniture has been used and which one is not used.

If you really want to say that you can't afford to offend, I don't think it's something you can't afford to offend. After all, craftsmen have more opportunities to help people and naturally get more respect. Especially in this era, everyone is a craftsman with tools, and so is the countryside. Many bad craftsmen in netizens' articles are actually the nature of villains, even if they are not craftsmen. If the craftsman has a big temper, I'll take it. My master has a big temper. He is always shouting. Many carpenters I come into contact with have a big temper. Most people lose their temper because others' work standards can't meet the requirements, which affects the product and construction period. Most of them are unknown things.

In short, people like people who are useful to them at any time, and selfish villains will not have long-term respect anyway.

In fact, masons, blacksmiths and carpenters are highly valued in rural areas, and no one will offend them if they have work to do. If we have to say why we can't offend carpenters the most, it can only be attributed to the carpenter's urgent need.

Masons are honest, willing, steady and heartless.

An honest, frank and loyal blacksmith is a warm friend.

Carpenters are keen and ingenious, and tenons change endlessly.

However, I still like the knife maker, and I always feel that this is the combination and sublimation of blacksmith and carpenter. A knife, from forging to finished product, involves all aspects, and the kung fu in hand should not be underestimated.

In the past, there were many craftsmen living by their craft in rural areas. These craftsmen are very popular in the countryside and are respected by people. Among many craftsmen, compared with masons and blacksmiths, carpenters can be said to be people who can't be offended, which is a universal law in rural areas.

The main reason for this situation is that in people's daily life, there is more demand for carpenters, from desks and chairs to wardrobe beds. Even the beams and rafters used to build houses need the help of carpenters, not to mention carpenters to build coffins.

So now that you say so, do you dare to offend the carpenter? If you still dare, it means that you are also a carpenter, and you can do these things yourself, so naturally you are not afraid that the carpenter will not help you.

Compared with carpenters, people have less demand for blacksmiths and masons, especially masons, which are hardly needed in daily life, so they are relatively less polite than carpenters. However, although not as good as carpenters, everyone still respects those who live by craft.

However, with the continuous development of science and technology, many rural crafts have been slowly lost. There are fewer and fewer carpenters and blacksmiths in the village, and now almost all of them have disappeared. Now some young people don't know what a plane is and what a chisel is, and they can't even use a saw. This is a great loss.

In the past, in the countryside, some people lived by craft. They never stop working, but their employers invite them to work all day, and westerners invite them to work. They must treat them with the best food. Why are carpenters the most offensive in rural areas? Meihua will explain it to you.

First, if you offend the carpenter, it is easy to waste materials. Carpenter's work tends to waste materials. If you don't treat the carpenter well or offend him, then some available materials will not be used by you, but will become firewood. Sometimes a person's good wood will be shortened and turned into waste, and sometimes it will become very small materials, making furniture, doors and windows look very small and uncomfortable. Because people can't estimate where and how big the carpenter will use wood, only he knows, so he wastes or destroys wood for you, and you often can't find fault.

Second, if you offend a carpenter, you may not be able to do fine work. Sometimes, he uses two sets of inlays where he should use three sets of inlays, which seems to save materials. In fact, this is to cut corners, which is labor-saving and makes the furniture not strong enough. Moreover, if the edge of the furniture is trimmed, it will become a right angle, which is unsightly and clumsy. In the process of use, it is easy to trip and unsafe.

Third, you have offended a carpenter, and his work may not be solid. As we all know, whether making furniture or doors and windows, beams and columns will be connected by stamping. And if you offend him, he will nail it directly, that is, nail the wedge on the rafter, often without glue or with less wedge, so that the furniture will often loosen in the future, and you only need to nail the wedge again, which is very unstable.
