Redirect to:

Cinnabar

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a misspelling: This is a redirect from a misspelling or typographical error. The correct form is given by the target of the redirect.
- This redirect is made available to aid searches. Pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target without the use of a piped link that hides the correct details.
- This template tags redirects with a subcategory of the Redirects from incorrect names category, so template {{R from incorrect name}} should not be used with this template.

With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Wikipedia (use {{R with old history}} instead).

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-Because the cinnebar wood is very soft it can be used to create beads, boxes and accessories by pressing a pattern into the wood. Color is sometimes added with a [[resin]] to give it more stability.<ref name=Jewel/>

-In Imperial China, [[lacquer]]s were revered due to their time and superior craftsmanship required to produce items from cinnebar.
-The lacquer is created from the sap of a native Chinese tree, [[Toxicodendron vernicifluum|Rhus Verniciflua]]. The lacquering technique dates back 3,000 years and involves the application of up to 200 thin layers of processed sap. The sap produces a natural varnish that protects the wood. Carving the lacquer is equally arduous and is considered a true art.<ref>Chinese Handicrafts, [http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Arts/decoart/handcraft/chinese/chinese.htm Cartage.org], Retrieved on [[May 8]], [[2008]]</ref>
