和尚翘杆是什么
和尚翘杆又叫， 消防撬杆， 救援撬杆工具， 门边工具， 拆面板工具。
佛教法器，广义而言，凡寺院内有关庄严佛坛，用于祈愿、修法、供养、法会等各类佛事，或佛子所携行的念珠、锡杖等修道之资具，统称为法器，又称佛器、佛具、道具等。狭义言之，特指置于佛前之小型佛器，尤指密教修法所用之器物。
法器之种类繁多，其用途、大小、形状互异，即以同一名称之法器，亦每因制作材料，手法，或宗派，时代之异，而于形式上有迥然之别。
一般所谓之佛教工艺美术，概不外乎以法器为其代表者。若以用途分类之，则法器可大别为庄严具，供佛器，报时器，容置器，携行器，及密教专用法具等六种。
和尚常用的工具：
庄严具，例如幡、天盖，伞，斗帐，花鬘，佛龛，花瓶，香炉等，可资庄严整饰佛堂道场之器物。供佛器，例如香花，香炉，烛台，灯笼，佛饭器，茶汤器，水瓶，净瓶，军持，花笼，盘，棹，几等，可资日常勤行供养之器具。
报时器，例如梵钟、金鼓、磬、钲鼓、铜锣、铙钹、铃、木鱼、云板、鱼板等、可供寺院日常行事或临时集会的敲鸣之用。此类法器除制作精美，特具美术价值外，其于制作时所刻载之作者姓名、年代、铭文等，更富于史料文献之意义。
日昝是怎样“报时”的
你知道日昝吗？这是古代用来测量时刻的计时仪器。它由一根指针和一个圆盘组成。也许你会质疑这个仪器能计时吗？计时准确吗？这里我要告诉你它的精确度不输世界名表呢！事实上，表的设计原理是模拟了日昝的原理。下面就让我们来了解一下这个古老的报时器吧！》A sundial is a simple, yet accurate, instrument, which tells time by the movement of the shadow a pointer casts upon a dial, which marks the hours of the day. The shadow moves as the sun changes position in the sky throughout the day, and the dial tracks this movement.For a sundial to be accurate, the pointer must be slanted at an angle equal to the latitude of its location. Vertical pointers are useful at showing the correct time only at one latitude and during one season, and flat dials must have unequally spaced hour marks upon them for accuracy.Prior to the invention of the sundial, man guessed at the time of day by observing the suns movement from morning until night. Sunrise and sunset required no calculation, but mid day, or noon, when the suns position in the sky was at its peak, proved to be more difficult to predict. The times in between these three reference points left them baffled.After scratching their heads for quite some time, it finally dawned on ancient man that shadows cast changed in length, and moved throughout the day. They concluded that, instead of craning their necks to watch the sun change position throughout the day, they could simply look down at the ground and note the passing of time by observing the change in shadow lengths. Additionally, this shadow clock method proved to be more accurate.Prototypes of the sundial most likely consisted of poles stuck in the ground surrounded by rocks. The pole served as a pointer, and the stones as markers. The use of poles as pointers gave way to immense stone columns, one of which is Cleopatras Needle in New Yorks Central Park. Sundials of smaller proportions were used, such as a L shaped Egyptian model dating back 3,000 years, which lays flat on the longer of its two legs, which bears marks indicating periods of time.Around 300 BC, a Chaldean astronomer invented a bowl-shaped sundial with a pointer that cast a shadow onto the dial, which marked 12 hours of the day as the shadow inched along. Because this sundial proved to be highly accurate, its use continued for centuries.More accurate, and portable, watches and clocks replaced sundials, as time telling instruments, but sundials still exist as ornamental additions to gardens. Oddly enough, some crude vertical sundials used for telling time, may be found on the walls and windowsills of old houses, and are configured so that a nail or the edge of the window casing casts a shadow. Perhaps, they served as the poor mans answer to the Swiss watch!slant: （使）倾斜，歪向
