    We own a beautiful carved lacquer tray that belonged to my husband's grandfather, who used to be a merchant in the late 1800, use to travel from Switzerland to China to buy Chinese silk and Art.

    Fun fact on the medicinal value: Cinnabar is used in TCM, in extreme moderation, to anchor and calm shen or “spirit” - in other words for anxiety, etc.

      But, it is found to be toxic in modern era, if I'm not mistaken. It is mercury right?

    This was fascinating, but come on, she just heard the guy say “Tang” with a long “a”, and then went on to pronounce it like the astronaut drink. Drives me crazy. Same with how people say “Ying and Yang” with a short a, it’s “Yin and Yang,” pronounced with a long “a.” Like “Yahng.”

    At 5:55 are the figures fitted to the underground instead of the entire piece being carved as a whole?

      No, carved from solid lacquer. Maybe more than 100 coats of it.
