At the turn from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period,craftsmen got many opportunities to practice their talents due to social changes.Against this background,Luban initiated many inventions in machinery,construction,and artisan craftsmanship.It is said that saw,drill,plane,shovel,and ink marker are all invented by Luban.春秋戰國之交，社會動蕩使工匠獲得了施展才能的機會。在這一背景下，魯班在機械、土木、手工工藝等方面都有所發明。據傳說，鋸、鉆、刨子及曲尺，劃線用的墨斗，都是魯班發明的。
