Coming to the StarCraft to Be a Kindergarten Teacher: Perfect Transformation

Wei'er's face flushed crimson, her excitement evident. She waved her hands, her voice trembling with excitement as she spoke, "This is simply beyond imagination! I've lived for so long, and I've never had the privilege of witnessing such an exquisite, ingenious structure!" Lillian, standing beside her, was equally deeply impressed. She nodded repeatedly and echoed, "That's right! It's truly eye-opening! If we could see these things in person, the impact would surely be even greater. We might even be amazed!"

At that moment, a brilliant idea suddenly struck me. I quickly said to them, "Today's optical computers have 16D projection technology! And if we connect and share our computers, we can put everyone in the scene displayed by the main computer. Not only can we touch the objects, but we can even simulate the pain! We can experience the mortise and tenon structure firsthand through projection."

Upon hearing this news, Wei'er and Lillian's eyes lit up, like two brilliant stars gleaming in the darkness. They eagerly exclaimed, "That's fantastic! We must experience this magical feeling for ourselves!" Seeing their eagerness, I secretly rejoiced. While they weren't paying attention, I quickly connected my optical computer to my phone, skillfully using high-tech techniques to successfully connect several of their computers. Then, a dazzling light flashed, and the scene before me began to change...

After the optical computer successfully connected to the internet, I quickly selected a museum in Blue Star China from among the many options. This museum is extraordinary, specializing in the collection and display of various wooden tools. The exhibits are all masterpieces of woodworking carefully crafted by ancient craftsmen with superb skills and ingenuity.

In a flash, we found ourselves before a Chinese-style building brimming with ancient charm. The vermilion gate was solemn and elegant, its brass rings gleaming with the light of time. Gently pushing the door open, a gentle creak accompanied it, and a storied air washed over us like a tide. Wei'er and Lillian stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with wonder. Everything before us unfolded like a vivid historical scroll, making us feel as if we had traveled back in time to the distant past.

We leisurely journeyed through the museum, akin to stepping back in time, admiring each of the magnificent and exquisitely crafted wooden pieces. These pieces ranged from delicate and exquisite to rugged and unrestrained, each showcasing the remarkable wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients. Suddenly, Wei stopped in front of a display case, as if she had discovered a treasure. Inside was a magnificent Luban lock, its intricate structure and ingenious design instantly captivating her. She reached out with her right hand, eager to extract it for a closer examination. However, the moment her finger touched the lock, she suddenly shrieked and jerked her hand back. A tiny wooden splinter had found its way through, piercing her fingertip and causing her to grimace in pain.

"Wow, this feels too real!" Lillian, who was standing by, couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth when she saw this.

As we walked, we unknowingly arrived at a magnificent and beautiful Qiangong Babu bed. Lillian asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Huh? Isn't this a wooden instrument museum? How did such a huge, house-like structure suddenly appear?" Hearing her words, I couldn't help but smile and immediately began to explain this impressive Qiangong Babu bed in detail.

I reached out my hand, gently pointing to the exquisitely crafted bed, and patiently explained, "Look, this is the legendary Qiangong Babu Bed. You know, this bed uses my country's ancient and exquisite traditional mortise and tenon structure! From beginning to end, not a single iron nail was used, and yet, even so, its stability is beyond imagination and indestructible. Look at these intricately carved patterns and designs, each one is lifelike and ingenious, and the beautiful meanings they contain are countless, symbolizing good luck, happiness and contentment. For this reason, in ancient times, this Qiangong Babu Bed has always been an indispensable and important item in the wedding room of newlyweds!"

Furthermore, this Qiangong Babu bed, also known as the "Eight-Step Bed," is the largest type of bed in traditional Chinese furniture! This fact is clearly documented in the famous Lu Ban Jingjiang Jiajing (The Artisan's Family Life), where it is categorized as either a "large bed" or a "cool bed," essentially representing the Babu bed in two distinct forms: complex and simple.

It's worth noting that step-out beds are more common in southern China. After all, the southern climate is warmer and more humid, naturally inhabiting more pests like mosquitoes and flies. Therefore, a crucial function of the bed frame is to facilitate the hanging of a mosquito net, effectively blocking bites and ensuring a good night's sleep. However, in northern China, the situation is quite different! Due to the long, harsh winters there, people mostly sleep on the warm kang (kang). Even when a bed is occasionally used, it's usually simply fitted with low railings on the left, right, and back.

Its historical background is long and full of stories. This unique piece of furniture was born in the late Ming Dynasty. Its appearance was not accidental, but has deep social and historical roots as its support.

During that period, the scholar-officials led extremely corrupt and decadent lives. They engaged in corruption and bribery, amassing wealth relentlessly. Not only were officials deeply corrupt, but they also indulged in building luxurious mansions and embellishing their residences with exquisite beauty. The design of the suites within these residences became a key part of showcasing their extravagant lifestyles.

Time passed quickly, and by the Republican era, despite significant changes, the step-out bed remained a common sight among the wealthy families of the Jiangnan region. It was renowned for its massive size, exquisite structure, and intricate carvings. However, precisely because of this, the labor, material, and financial resources required to create a step-out bed were staggering, leading to a staggeringly high cost.

In ancient society, ordinary people simply couldn't afford such expensive furniture, so owning a step-up bed became a privilege reserved for the wealthy. Over time, the step-up bed evolved from simply a piece of furniture for rest and sleep to a symbol of social status and family wealth. Whenever people saw a magnificent step-up bed, they imagined the owner's wealth and status.

The "Thousand Workers" Babu Bed derives its name from the staggering labor required to create it—over a thousand workers were required to build it. This meant a single skilled craftsman labored for three full years, or three craftsmen working together for a full year. This type of bed, commonly found in southern China, earned the name "Thousand Workers" due to its enormous size and the complex craftsmanship involved.

The most striking feature of the step-out bed is the ingenious addition of a cabin-like structure to the traditional canopy bed. From a distance, it appears as if an exquisite canopy bed is securely placed on an enclosed wooden platform. Stout wooden columns stand at the four corners of this platform, interspersed with intricate wooden railings. Some even feature delicate windows on either side, transforming the bed into a tranquil corridor. While the corridor may be small, it's easily accessible for one person. Stepping inside, one feels as if they've entered a warm and comfortable interior. A footrest is strategically placed in the center of the corridor, and small furniture such as tables and stools are strategically placed on either side, allowing the owner to easily store various small items.

The ingenious bed design and overall layout created an environment that felt like a tiny, unique house nestled within the room. After hearing the introduction, Lillian quickly stepped forward, filled with curiosity. She gently stroked the intricately carved patterns on the bed with her slender fingers, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Wow, this is simply amazing! The wisdom of our ancient ancestors is truly admirable!"
