The Luban ruler, also known as the "Luban ruler", is a measuring tool used when building a house. Later, the eight characters were added through the Feng Shui community to measure the good and bad luck of the house and call it a call. It is called "door meter", also known as "square ruler". An ordinary ruler is only used to measure length.
The traditional Luban ruler is mainly divided into two parts: upper and lower parts: the upper part is called the door meter ruler, and the lower part is called the Dinglan ruler.
1. The door meter is used for house construction and is used to measure the living equipment of houses. There are eight characters on it: wealth, illness, separation, righteousness, official, calamity, harm, and good luck (or Zuben). Eight characters are a cycle, and the length of a cycle is one foot, two inches and eight and a half minutes, or about 43 centimeters according to the current size. Wealth, Righteousness, Officials and Good Fortunes (original) are the four good fortunes, illness, illness, and calamity are the bad fortunes. Each inch is divided into four small grids, each with four meanings, each indicating good or bad luck. They are marked with red and black characters. Red is good and black is bad.
2. 'Dinglan ruler' is also called 'Yin ruler'. The length of the ruler is one inch and eight minutes of the curved ruler (ten-inch ruler). It is mainly used for building tombs or enshrining ancestral tablets and gods. Time is used to measure and determine good or bad luck.
