Chapter 172 Making a Nine-Palace Grid

If Wang Yun did not have the status of an official student of Qinghezhuang Primary School, Xie Ju and the others would have just told him some things about Wang Ge.

The discussion among the four friends quickly turned to exegesis, and then discussed the popular family mottos. Xie Zhi praised Zhuge Wuhou's "Book of Commandments", Sima Nandi praised Sima Hui's "Book of Commandments to Children", and Bian Xun praised

Liu Xuande's "The Imperial Edict to the Empress", Wang Yun praised Wang Wenshu's "Family Commandments".

Uncle Yuan Yan turned around and looked at Wang Yun. He felt relieved and continued to chat with Wang Changyu and others. Although there were many craftsmen and craftsmen on the shore, no one brought up the topic.

Wang Changyu had just returned from Luoyang and was talking about what he had seen along the way.

What Yuan Yanshu talked about was the disaster in Xunxi Township last year.

What Xie Yiyan was talking about was the lively scene of a gathering of craftsmen and quasi-craftsmen in Shanyin County.

Sima Chong shouted: "Look, there is a big fish!"

"I saw it, I saw it!" Sima Nandi was very respectful to his uncle. If he hadn't run over here one step ahead, it would have been more like giving dignity to his uncle.

It turned out that the four children were talking about "The Analects of Confucius" and "Shangshu" from the previous generations. Nandi couldn't keep up because she hadn't learned "Shangshu" yet.

Fu Lu Craftsman Shop.

Wang Ge has thought about what to make.

Saw the wood first. The bamboo material is not used for the time being, so only take out the grindstone and push the rest aside.

The wood is camphor wood, which is soft and easy to carve.

First cut four long wooden strips into the shape of a four-sided straight column.

Traditional sawing and wood sawing skills were basically eliminated during the time when the previous king went south. There is nothing we can do about it. There are easy-to-use electric saws, but who would spend twice as much time using the most primitive saw?

Cut out the tenons at both ends of the two wooden strips; use a carving knife to carve out grooves at both ends of the other two strips.

The tools are not good, so I can only make do. You can only choose three tools for each material: the carving knife is a must; the ax actually functions as a hammer, so choosing a hammer alone is not as good as an ax; not to mention the copper saw, which is absolutely indispensable.

She should be lucky that the bamboo tools include grindstones.

We are even more fortunate that everyone has a tool bench provided by the craftsman's shop.

While Wang Ge was cutting wood with a carving knife, he was drawing up the steps for making the utensil.

What she wants to make is a nine-square grid, the kind with eighty-one numerical grids.

Jiugongge originated from Hetu Luoshu.

Hetu is a star map, and Luoshu is the source of the five elements. Their earliest records can be found in "Shangshu". They contain the principles of yin and yang of heaven and earth, which have been debated for thousands of years. They are known as the "Universal Rubik's Cube". Hetu Luo

Book legend, in Wang Ge's previous life, was included in the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage list as a folk literature project in 2014.

There is no requirement for the shape of the utensil in the competition, but it must conform to the meaning of the word "well".

Tic-tac-toe has many meanings. Based on the previous competition, she felt that it should be more "structured" and "orderly". So what could be more consistent than the well-connected nine-square grid?

Wang Ge's knowledge is limited, and the rest of the information about the Nine Palaces Grid is that it was first called "Luo Shu", and that the Nine Palaces in the Han Dynasty were "all four upright and four dimensions combined into fifteen".

These were what she listened to when Huan Zhen told Hu Tou. Huan Langjun also asked her to repeat the test. She was not a genius who could remember it after listening to it only once, so she recited: "The four righteousnesses and the four falsehoods are all hehehehehedonkeyfifteen"

." Then the other party took the Kudzu bamboo ruler she made and struck her left hand hard.

Then, she remembered this sentence.

Perhaps she felt that she knew a lot, so she complacently set a goal and started to operate. Little did she know that out of the ninety-nine craftsman contenders, ninety of them were making the nine-square grid.

Adding her, there are ninety-one kinds of nine-square grid, who can stand out?

Stab, sting...

Stab, sting...

What a sweet sound of whittling wood. The thin wood cut by the blade sometimes curls and falls, sometimes it is cut into lines.

Stab, sting...

"Huh." She blew away the wood chips gently.

After the square outer frame is made, first test whether the tenons and grooves are suitable. Do not connect them completely, because the upper and lower outer frames (both ends are tenoned) still need to dig nine grooves each. These grooves

Eyes are used to connect upright columns.

Now put the four outer frames aside and start making the nine upright columns.

Saw wood again!

The nine upright columns are all four-sided straight columns, half thinner than the frame and equal in thickness to the frame. Of course, this thickness is temporary.

In order not to grind these pillars later (lack of tools), she had to cut the required width and thickness to the standard at one time. The length was easy to solve, it was just a matter of one axe.

Why are craftsmen better than craftsmen? If you look at it, you can see that among a hundred competitors, no one chooses a wooden ruler as a tool.

After sawing the nine pillars, she began to dig grooves one by one. This step was easy in itself, but it was slowed down by the tools. She took a deep breath helplessly, complained that it was useless, and cut the carving knife.

Ten grooves must be dug for each column, with a depth equal to half the thickness. The protrusions between the grooves are the tenons for mounting the digital wooden blocks. For each groove dug, Wang Ge had to polish the blade twice.

Pay attention to the angle and don't chip the sharp edge.

Time passes like this moment by moment.

Phew... After blowing the sawdust, her left hand was sore, so she switched to her right hand and continued digging. The ointment given by Meng before was very effective, but if her right wrist still hurts now, it would be even more troublesome.

Early afternoon.

Wang Ge connected the frame of the nine-square grid with mortise and tenon joints, then set it aside.

Lunch was provided in the examination room, so there was no time to eat. She didn't even have time to take a sip of water.

Start making number blocks.

The entire nine-square grid is not large. The cross-section of each wooden block is one inch long and square. The thickness is half of the frame. A total of eighty-one pieces are made.

When Hu Tou was learning Jiujiu Watch, Wang Ge had pondered the Jiugongge game. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and she has always believed in this truth.

Saw the wood strips first.

Click, click, click... Use the ax to split the wood.

Every time the ax goes down, what is cut out is definitely an inch square!

After the eighty-one square pieces are chopped, carve the first set of numbers first.

The slots at the bottom of each of these nine wooden wooden blocks with numbers should exactly match the tenon on the pillar. First carve the number "two" and place it on the first tenon of the first pillar on the left, and knock it in with the back of an axe.

She tried shaking it and it was very stable.

Then engrave the number "three" and wedge it into the sixth tenon from top to bottom of the left column.

The second pillar from the left is empty.

The third pillar from the left and the bottom tenon are the number "nine".

The fourth pillar, the fourth tenon from top to bottom, is the number "eight".

In this way, after placing the nine fixed numbers, start making the movable number blocks.

The difference between movable number blocks and fixed number blocks is the groove at the bottom. The groove should be wide first and then narrow. Narrow does not mean smaller than the tenon, but it means that it fits the tenon exactly (the same standard as the fixed number block).

In this design, after determining where the movable numbers are to be placed, with a slight press, the wooden block will sink and be wedged firmly.

"Weichu." The patrol announced the time.

Wang Ge didn't have time to be nervous and speeded up carving the numbers. He didn't seek beauty, just neatness and clarity. Fortunately, each number had fewer strokes, so "five" and "six" were relatively troublesome.

"Not correct."

The assessment is about to end, and the time interval is shortened.

"Two moments left."

The wooden blocks were finished! Wang Ge put down the carving knife. He hesitated for a breath and immediately cut the bamboo! She couldn't let the wooden blocks scatter.

I recommend a famous novel about cultivating immortals, written by Da Da: Qingji Sanren.
