Do not wash,
Why can't cinnabar get wet.
Cinnabar can not be wet, this is because there are many tiny pores on the surface of cinnabar, if wet, it will cause water to penetrate into the inside of cinnabar from the pores on the surface, which can easily lead to discoloration of cinnabar, affecting the quality and aesthetics of cinnabar.
At the same time, there is also a part of the cinnabar texture is relatively soft, if it is wet for a long time, it will cause this part of the cinnabar to melt, and will also reduce the gloss on the surface, thereby affecting the ornamentation and value of cinnabar.
If there is dust or stains on the surface of cinnabar, you can wet the cotton cloth and wipe the cinnabar on the surface of the cinnabar, so that the water will not enter the inside of the cinnabar, and at the same time, the maintenance of the cinnabar can be achieved to further improve the aesthetics of the cinnabar.
Cinnabar is not fired, which has a lot to do with its own chemical composition mercury sulfide, and there is also a small amount of realgar in its composition, which will cause the toxin to be quickly emitted after encountering fire. The toxic substances produced by the calcination of mercury sulfide and the sublimation of the two components of realgar combustion become arsenic.
