A demonstration event was held with the invitation of Chinese master Li Yeong Lei. In the previous day's lecture, Chinese architectural technology, which was only introduced in an overview, will be explained more specifically in the demonstration.

First, using a partial model of Forbidden City Taiwaden on display, the technical features and highlights of Taiwaden were explained.

What Lee holds is the gate shaku. I'm Ruler measuring good and bad luck. In the building of Forbidden City, it is said that the dimensions of various parts are good.

Next, it is a demonstration using tools. First of all, I would like to introduce the technology of making rafters in the corner. By cutting diagonally with a saw in line with the ink line written on the front and back of the plate-shaped material, members with different angles gradually can be efficiently completed. This time, it is reproduced with a small model. Two people use a frame saw to check the ink lines on the front and back. This is a joint work between the master and the participants.

Next, a demonstration of inking using a plate called "drawing plate". The size and depth of the hozo hole opened in the round pillar in the foreground is copied on a board of about 30 cm in length, and then ink the square wood seen in the back. It is a rare technology that was used in times when the shape and size of parts were not constant.

Finally, the Chinese plane. After Mr. Lee's demonstration, the participants will also experience it. Unlike Japan, it seems that the selfishness is quite different because it is pressed and used.

 

The demonstration event by Mr. Lee will also be held in Kobe. This is a valuable opportunity to compare Chinese and Korean skills in one day.
