Pu Tuo said: Be kind to yourself, don't get angry, don't try to please others, and don't punish yourself for the mistakes of others. Smile gently, walk steadily, take gains and losses lightly, cherish what you have, live up to your time, and live up to yourself. One bead, one ornament, one thought, one wish. A touch of cinnabar red on the wrist is the condensation of thousands of years of culture, a stabilizer for the soul, a red light guiding the way, and a small temple connecting heaven and earth. Evil spirits do not approach, a steady heart accomplishes all things, and good fortune comes naturally. Original design, new handmade braided rope pendant necklace. The cinnabar pendant can be removed separately and paired with different colored hanging ropes (rope color can be specified), or it can be matched with your own chains of other materials. The braided rope style can be changed to "leaf," and the braided rope color scheme can also be specified in remarks. If you have other ideas, you are welcome to send a private message. (All pictures are taken in natural light. Different equipment, different weather, and different screen displays will cause color differences. Please be aware!) > Category Shuifeisha, Diwangsha, Zijinsha, and Jingtiansha all belong to high-content quality cinnabar. Their **main differences lie in color, texture, hardness, and production methods**. 「Shuifeisha」 True red, slightly orangey. The surface has a warm matte luster, which will become brighter with wear, forming a patina. The production method involves repeatedly grinding cinnabar fine particles into a paste, stirring with water, collecting the "turbid liquid" from the upper layer after standing, and then allowing it to settle again (i.e., purification by water flotation). The cinnabar mud at the bottom is air-dried and then pressed using ancient methods. Uniform fine mineral flashes can still be seen on the internal cross-section. 「Diwangsha」 The color is more towards true red, with a brighter hue and higher hardness. The production method involves multiple steps such as **crushing/grinding/magnetic separation/water flotation/high polishing** from natural cinnabar raw ore for gradual purification, and then pressing using ancient methods. Diwangsha has almost no mineral flashes on the surface, but has them inside. The surface uses a **high polishing** process to present a metallic texture, especially under sunlight, where the metallic texture is greatly enhanced. 「Zijinsha」 The color is purplish-red, and the hardness is slightly lower than Diwangsha. The production method involves multiple steps such as **crushing/grinding/screening** from natural cinnabar raw ore, but **without water flotation purification**, so the surface is not as fine, and there are scattered small mineral flashes, giving a "starry sky" feeling. 「Jingtiansha」 The color is purplish-red and translucent. Large particles of cinnabar directly chipped from the cinnabar ore. The crystal particles are clearly visible on the surface. Under light, each particle is transparent, emitting a fluorescent red glow. > Spring Plowing and Autumn Harvest **Everything in this world that unfolds, that is poetic, that is beautiful, often happens naturally, just like the cycle of the seasons.** **Learn to slow down, clear your mind, treat life with softness, revere the power of time, and let everything grow naturally, like a tree, growing clear annual rings with focus and fearlessness.** **Our craftsmanship is the same!!** > Cinnabar The earliest literature records only one character for cinnabar, "丹" (dān). "丹" is an ideogram. In ancient times, miners dug pits, and extracted minerals from the pits. Therefore, the character "丹" is actually the character "井" (jǐng) with a dot in the middle, meaning something was extracted from a mine. This something is cinnabar. Because cinnabar is red, mostly deep red, "朱" (zhū) also means red. Later, cinnabar was called cinnabar. "丹" and "朱" describe the color, and "砂" (shā) describes the shape, meaning irregular granular minerals. The color of cinnabar is unfading. Chinese painting and calligraphy are called "丹青" (dān qīng), where "丹" refers to cinnabar. The "Eight Treasures Seal Paste," an indispensable pigment, also has cinnabar as its main component. From a Feng Shui perspective, cinnabar is collected from minerals that gather the essence of the sun and moon. It absorbs the positive energy of heaven and earth, so cinnabar has a strong yang energy magnetic field. We can find that jade feels cool in the hand, while cinnabar feels warm. Since ancient times, cinnabar has been used in various Taoist rituals such as drawing talismans, consecration, warding off evil, and suppressing malevolent forces. Cinnabar has always been regarded as a supreme item for bringing good luck, warding off evil, suppressing malevolent forces, attracting blessings, and accumulating wealth. It carries auspicious meanings of good fortune and prosperity. The "Shennong Ben Cao Jing" lists cinnabar as a superior medicinal substance, often used in medical treatments to calm the spirit, detoxify, and relieve insomnia and excessive dreaming. Living in modern times, owning one or two cinnabar cultural objects can also cultivate one's character and nourish the eyes and mind. > Authentication **All cinnabar products in this store are high-content cinnabar with a strong sense of weight. You can use the following methods to authenticate:** . Burning cinnabar will turn it black. (Please heat through an intermediate object. It is generally not recommended to burn finished products directly, as the time and range cannot be controlled. If it turns black after prolonged heating, it cannot be restored.) . Real cinnabar can draw orangey-red lines on paper. (To avoid damaging the appearance of the finished product, please choose an inconspicuous area to draw the line, or use the gifted bead to draw the line.) > Maintenance **If cinnabar jewelry has no metal or plant-based accessories (such as wood, bamboo, bodhi seeds, etc.), it can be lightly exposed to water, but it is not suitable for long-term soaking, as it will affect the luster.** **Braided rope styles are not recommended to get wet. After washing, they should be dried before wearing, as damp ropes worn against the body can lead to excessive moisture, which is not good for health.** 1. Avoid Corrosion Cinnabar is a mineral and is insoluble in water. However, frequent contact with chemicals such as soap and shower gel can corrode cinnabar. 2. Avoid Contact with Metal Objects The mineral elements in cinnabar will absorb metal ions, causing irreversible dulling and blackening of the cinnabar. 3. Avoid High Temperatures The mercuric sulfide in cinnabar only releases at high temperatures of 380 degrees Celsius. Therefore, as long as you avoid exposing cinnabar jewelry to high-temperature environments during normal wear, you can rest assured. 4. Avoid Collisions with Hard or Sharp Objects. Cinnabar has high hardness but is brittle, so handle with care to prevent drops. 5. How to Clean If you find the cinnabar is dirty, do not soak it in water, as it will alter the original brilliance of the cinnabar! You can wipe it a few times with a slightly damp cotton cloth and let it air dry for a while. 6. Oiling Method Apply a layer of white tea oil or olive oil to the finished product, allowing the stone surface to absorb the oil, making it more crystalline and bright. If you apply oil and then seal it in a brocade box, you can wrap it with a common plastic wrap to prevent the oil from staining the brocade box lining. 7. Frequent Handling Frequently handle the cinnabar jewelry worn on your body with your hands, allowing the stone surface to absorb a thin layer of oil, which will make it appear more ancient and elegant over time. The physical object is more exquisite and beautiful than the photo.
