What is Chinese luban lock puzzle
Share
The name 'Luban Lock' itself is steeped in legend. It is said to have been created by the famous Chinese craftsman Luban, who lived during the late Spring and Autumn period to the early Warring States period, though some legends attribute its invention to Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms era, based on the principles of the Eight Trigrams. Regardless of which story you believe, there is no denying its long history and rich cultural significance.
The Luban Lock features a unique mortise and tenon structure, requiring no nails or ropes—only the ingenious interlocking of wooden strips to form a seemingly simple yet profoundly intricate three-dimensional structure.
Each Luban Lock is composed of several wooden strips that interlock through internal protrusions and recesses (the mortise and tenon structure), creating a complete unit without the need for a single nail or screw. Assembling it requires careful observation and analysis to find the correct combination.
The Luban Lock also has immense educational value. It not only enhances spatial imagination and logical thinking but also provides a pure sense of enjoyment as we forget our worries while unlocking it. For children, the Luban Lock is an invaluable educational toy, helping them develop their brains, strengthen their fingers, and cultivate patience and focus.
