Luban who is Lu of the Warring States Period. He is a master good at making sophisticated instruments, and people called him “qiao ren”. Folk has always regarded him as the carpenter’s ancestor. If someone dares to show off in front of Luban, that is to say, to show their skills in front of a great connoisseur, the too ridiculous immodest behavior, called “luban men qian nong da fu”, referred to as “ban men nong fu”. This is the same meaning with proverb, “guan gong mian qian shua da dao”.
