 Lu Ban, born Gongshu Ban, was a craftsman from the state of Lu during the late Spring and Autumn period to the early Warring States period (approximately 507-444 BCE). He is widely regarded as one of the most famous craftsmen and inventors in ancient China. Revered as the "Patron Saint of Craftsmen," Lu Ban's craftsmanship and innovative spirit deeply influenced both Chinese and global developments in architecture, machinery, and weaponry.
 Lu Ban was born into a family of craftsmen and began learning woodworking techniques from his father and grandfather at an early age. His extraordinary talent and intellect enabled him to surpass his predecessors and become a celebrated craftsman in his youth. Over time, Lu Ban's fame spread far and wide, not only for his woodworking tools but also for his significant contributions to weaponry and agricultural machinery. His name is still well-known today, and many legends about him, filled with mystical elements, have become symbols of traditional Chinese craftsmanship.

 Lu Ban's contributions to woodworking tools were extensive, and his inventions covered nearly all the basic tools used in woodworking. Among his most famous inventions were the saw, drill, plane, hoe, square, and chalk line. These tools greatly enhanced the efficiency of woodworking and provided a solid technical foundation for future generations of craftsmen.
 The most well-known story about Lu Ban's inventions is that of the saw. According to legend, while out chopping wood, Lu Ban encountered a landslide and, as he fell, grabbed a plant with serrated edges. This accidental discovery inspired him to replicate the serrated shape of the plant's leaves, leading to the invention of the saw. This invention dramatically increased the efficiency of wood processing, turning what was once a cumbersome task into a quicker and more precise job.

 In addition to the saw, Lu Ban invented other essential woodworking tools such as the drill, plane, and hoe. These tools continue to be widely used in the woodworking industry today, forming the basic equipment every carpenter relies on. Lu Ban's inventions not only reflect his advanced craftsmanship but also demonstrate his sharp observational skills and unparalleled creativity.

 Lu Ban's genius was not limited to woodworking tools; he also made significant contributions to weaponry. Through careful research and practical experimentation, he designed a series of innovative and practical war machines.
 One of his most celebrated inventions was the "cloud ladder," a large siege weapon that allowed soldiers to easily scale enemy walls. The cloud ladder's height could surpass the walls, allowing soldiers to stand atop it and throw firebrands, arrows, or even leap onto the enemy’s wall to engage in close combat. The ladder was so tall that it was called a "cloud ladder," symbolizing its towering height as though reaching the clouds.  In the work Mozi: Gongshu, it is mentioned that Lu Ban also designed the "hooked spear," a weapon used in naval warfare. The Chu army used it in their battles with the Yue navy, achieving significant victories. The design of the hooked spear was inspired by natural tools for capturing prey, such as the pincers of a praying mantis.

 Lu Ban’s military inventions were not limited to the cloud ladder and the hooked spear. He also created other siege weapons like the ram, the flying stone, and the repeating arrow. These inventions not only reflect Lu Ban's strategic thinking but also showcase his mastery of mechanical and leverage principles. Even today, these ancient war machines are regarded as classics in the history of military engineering.
