Anonymous users2024-01-24The ancients didn't use nails, not because they didn't like to use them, but because nails were very expensive, their effect was very small, and the cost of nailing was greater than that of nailing into the falcon.
Before the industrialization of the world, the production cost of nails was not low. In China, from the time of Master Lu Ban 2,500 years ago, carpentry and wooden construction have formed an industry scale, and at that time, Lu Ban Patriarch has learned to drive more than a dozen kinds of falcons. Objects such as nails still need to be made by a blacksmith one by one.
At that time, the shortest nails were more than 10 centimeters in size, and the nail caps were more than 2 centimeters in diameter.
The level of furniture in the Ming Dynasty was extremely high, and many of them did not use nails. This is mainly due to the high level of technique.
The design of the mortise and tenon structure is much stronger than nails, have you ever seen modern furniture that can be used for a hundred years?
The traditional process does not use nails and glue, and there is no furniture use, and the nails rust and adhesive fail over time. Furniture with traditional mortise and tenon structures is strong and durable. In the countryside, it is common to see a lot of solid wood furniture with traditional crafts, which have been used for decades.
The rotten ones are rotten, the rest are hardwood, and some furniture has been used, and it can be kept relatively intact.
Hardwood is more special because of its high density and good texture, and because it is relatively scarce; Of course, there is also cork in ancient furniture, such as golden silk nanmu.
