Notes:

Avoid forging over fire to avoid precipitation of mercury causing mercury poisoning. The flying water is used as medicine. Taking it for a long time can cause dementia and mercury poisoning; it should not be used by people with poor liver and kidney function. They hate magnets and are afraid of salt water, so they should not be forged with fire.

1. Improper consumption: Cinnabar is a mercury compound, which can easily precipitate metallic mercury when exposed to fire. It is highly toxic and can easily cause poisoning. When taking it, it can be taken with warm boiled water or concoction. It should not be taken by decoction.

Ancient medical books include the treatment of simmering cinnabar and pig heart or taking it into pills after stewing, and similar methods are now used among the people. Stewing or decoction of cinnabar will increase the toxicity, resulting in chronic poisoning that may not be noticed by people.

2. Taking regular amounts of cinnabar and the pills and powders made from it for too long can cause chronic poisoning to the body due to the effects of low concentrations of mercury, mainly causing brain damage, kidney damage, muscle tremors, and gum swelling and pain. , There are dark blue lines (mercury lines) of magnetized mercury on the inflamed gums.

3. Excessive dosage Excessive use may cause acute poisoning or chronic poisoning. Acute poisoning may cause vomiting, abdominal pain, bloody stools, muscle tremors, oliguria, anuria, convulsions, coma, drop in blood pressure, acute renal failure and death. Cinnabar has a good soothing effect, but it should not be taken for a long time or frequently to avoid accumulation...gt;gt;

Question 2: What is the role of cinnabar in Feng Shui? In Feng Shui, cinnabar is collected from the veins of the essence of the sun and moon. Because it absorbs the righteousness of heaven and earth, it has a very strong magnetic field. Cinnabar is different from jade and Dzi beads which feel cold when held in the hand. It feels warm in the palm of the hand. In other words, cinnabar is a magnetic field with extremely strong yang energy. Generally, Taoists, immortals and Buddhas must use cinnabar for consecration, warding off evil spirits, suppressing evil spirits, etc. The world has always regarded it as the best product for bringing luck, suppressing evil spirits, praying for blessings and collecting wealth. Since cinnabar belongs to the six-crystal mineral vein, the collection process is extremely difficult, and refining it into pure ore is even more difficult. Therefore, casting it into a three-dimensional Buddha statue is even more superior. Therefore, cinnabar jewelry is one of the mascots used to control the house, avoid evil spirits, bring luck, and pray for blessings and wealth. In addition, if the feng shui of a place is not good and the evil spirits are too strong, the color cinnabar red is said to have obvious miraculous effects in suppressing evil spirits.

Question 3: What is the use of killing cinnabar in the Three Kingdoms? It can be used to synthesize skin shows. It can be obtained through some tasks or by decomposing some skins. After reaching a certain amount, new skins for generals can be made

Question 4: What is the function of cinnabar accessories? Many people ask, isn’t the chemical formula of cinnabar HgS? Is it toxic to make handicrafts? In fact, the chemical properties of natural cinnabar are relatively stable. If it is harmful to the human body, its sale has long been banned by relevant departments. Although it contains mercury, it will not evaporate into gaseous or liquid mercury as long as it does not exceed about 400 degrees Celsius. I have not tried other hype about cinnabar that is spread on the Internet. Through practice, I found that cinnabar does have the following effects: First, it calms and calms the mind. My friend suffers from epilepsy. He often suffers from epilepsy when he is not exposed to cinnabar. When I learned that he had this disease, I gave him a natural cinnabar pendant for half a year. He still has it after wearing it. I have never had an attack, but I still have the disease after going to the hospital for examination. I will continue to report on this incident more closely. Also, if the child cries at night and is difficult to bring, you can bring a natural cinnabar ball to the child, and the effect is obvious; the second is to ward off evil spirits. Legends of gods and ghosts have been around for five thousand years in China. Of course, I also hold the attitude of "you must not believe it, but you must not believe it". For example, when driving at night, bringing a cinnabar can give yourself a psychological hint. Secondly, most parts of our country are settled and buried. Cinnabar is used in all aspects to enhance the earth's energy and prevent the entry of yin energy. Thirdly, cinnabar is not as cold as jade. In fact, cinnabar is the same as normal temperature. In the words of Taoism, "jade belongs to yin and cinnabar belongs to yang" (wrong words , fellow Taoists of Xianfeng Daogu, don’t be offended, but it’s just such a consciousness that I have forgotten the original words), especially for women, it has a certain periodic maintenance effect. As the saying goes, ‘people nourish jade, cinnabar nourishes people’; fourth, cinnabar’s Collection value.

Cinnabar has been mined and used since ancient times, especially during the Qin Shihuang era, when it reached its peak. Cinnabar has been used exclusively by the royal family, such as ink pads for jade seals, writing imperial edicts, refining elixirs, and burials. In the early days of liberation, cinnabar mining was exploited indiscriminately, and cinnabar minerals were almost Reaching the point of resource depletion, coupled with the country's macro-control of mine mining, people are now constantly pursuing the added value of the cinnabar industry, especially the collection of mineral crystals. It can be said that one piece gained will lead to one less piece. Chinese aunts are very likely to start from From the gold fever to the mineral crystal fever whose resources are on the verge of exhaustion, I hope that cinnabar enthusiasts, collectors and manufacturers will all contribute to the promotion of cinnabar. Everything is based on my personal understanding over decades, and it is all typed by hand. It is not something that can be found on the Internet. If it is incomplete, I hope you can guide me and improve it. The final analysis rights belong to Natural Cinnabar Bar.

Physical and chemical identification

Cinnabar

Cinnabar

1. After the powder of this product is moistened with hydrochloric acid, it is rubbed on a smooth copper sheet. The surface of the copper sheet will show a silvery white luster. When heated and baked, the silvery white color disappears.

HgS 2HCl→HgCl2 H2S↑

2HgCl2 Cu→CuCl2 Hg2Cl2 (white substance, mercury chloride)

2. Take 2 g of this product powder, add 2 ml of hydrochloric acid-nitric acid (3:1) mixture to dissolve, evaporate to dryness, add 2 ml of water to dissolve, filter, the filtrate will show the identification reaction of mercury salts and sulfates. ⑴ Identification reaction of mercury salts: Take the product solution and add sodium hydroxide test solution, a yellow precipitation (HgO) will occur. ⑵Identification reaction of sulfate: Take the product solution and add barium chloride test solution, a white precipitate will occur; it will separate and the precipitate will not dissolve in hydrochloric acid or nitric acid.

Synthesis

The synthesis method of mercury sulfide: put an appropriate amount of mercury into the reaction tank, add 1.3 to 1.4 times the amount (weight ratio) of nitric acid (specific gravity 1.4), and let it react naturally. After there is no mercury, add double the amount of water to dilute it. While stirring, gradually add 1.21 times the amount of sodium sulfide containing crystal water or 0.7 to 0.8 times the amount of sodium sulfide aqueous solution calculated based on the amount of mercury until black mercury sulfide is completely generated. At the end of the reaction, The solution is controlled below pH 9. The black mercury sulfide is repeatedly washed 3 to 4 times with the pouring method, filtered with a bag, and the filtrate is dried. Add 4 amounts of sublimated sulfur, mix, and heat to sublime to obtain purple-red massive mercury sulfide. The reaction formula is as follows:

Hg 4HNO3→Hg(NO3)2 2NO2↑ 2H2O

3Hg 8HNO3→3Hg(NO3)2 2NO 4H2O

Hg(NO3)2 Na2S→HgS ( Black ↓) 2NaNO3

HgS (black) (sublimated Δ HgS (purple)

Precautions

This product is toxic and should not be taken to avoid mercury poisoning. Heating is prohibited. Heating will release mercury vapor, which is highly toxic.
