Because I don't know what "this substance" refers to, the following is an example of "cinnabar", modeled on the classical style of "Tiangong Kaiwu" to answer, you can adjust the content according to the actual substance.
The cinnabar, also known as Dan Sha, is the spiritual object of heaven and earth creation. Its color is as red as a cockscomb, bright and eye-catching, and its nature is yang. It is related to mercury in hardware.
This substance is often found in ore veins. When mining in mines, it is very difficult. Miners enter deep holes and risk their lives to seek the original stone of cinnabar. The stone first emerges, or is mixed between various earth and rocks, and needs to be carefully screened.
There is no other way to extract cinnabar. First, use the technique of flying with water to remove its coarse and miscellaneous, so that the powder will gradually thin. Then, through the method of combining water and fire. Place cinnabar in a crucible, refine it slowly with a gentle fire, and the mercury gas will rise, leaving its essence. This process requires grasping the heat, and if you are not careful, all previous efforts will be wasted.
The use of cinnabar is quite extensive. In the way of medicine, it has the effect of calming the mind and determining the mind. Ancient physicians often used it as medicine to treat heart palpitations and insomnia. In alchemy, cinnabar is also regarded as a thing to ward off evil spirits, and the talisman is often used to pray to calm demons and exorcise evil spirits and ensure people's peace. In the art of Dan Qing, cinnabar is the top grade of paint, painted on silk paper, the color does not fade over the years, and the brilliance remains the same, adding brilliance to the painting.
Cinnabar gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and has been artificially refined to become this extraordinary thing. It is very useful in medicine, art, and art. It is actually a treasure bestowed by nature on people.

A stone, it has all kinds of physical properties. Looking at its shape, it is warm and lustrous, has the quality of jade, and the tentacles are warm, like the warm sun in spring, this is its warmth. It is firm and dense, knocking, and the sound is longer and longer, just like Huang Zhong Dalu, deafening, this is its firm sound. Furthermore, its texture is delicate, just like the work of heaven, silk is ingrained, and it is well-organized. This is the nature of texture.
And its colors are colorful, or green like green feathers, or red like Dansha, or white like coagulation, or black than ink jade, the colors are gorgeous, the changes are thousands, and the color is full of color. And its specific gravity is moderate, held in the hand, the weight is appropriate, neither frivolous nor tired of falling, this is the nature of the specific gravity.
Its light is not as dazzling as gold, not as cold as silver, but soft and restrained, just like the moon pouring, subtle and far-reaching, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace, this is the luster. And this stone is wear-resistant, after years of rubbing, it can still maintain its shape, no wear state, and significant wear resistance.
Furthermore, its conductivity is weak, placed in electricity, not moved by electricity, as if staying out of it, this is the property of insulation. And it has the ability of heat insulation, touching it in hot summer, it does not feel extreme heat; caressing it in cold winter, it does not feel cold, it can isolate the outside world from cold and heat, this is the nature of heat insulation. All kinds of physical properties complement each other and are natural, which is really the magic of heaven's creation.

Mercury has a unique chemical property.
The normal state of mercury is liquid, which is rare among metals. Its color is silver-white, shiny, and flowing, just like a spiritual thing. And the melting point of mercury is extremely low, -38.87 ° C, and the boiling point is not very high, reaching 356.6 ° C. This characteristic makes it easy to change into gas and liquid states between temperature changes.
Mercury has strong chemical activity. In case of sulfur, it quickly combines to form mercury sulfide. This reaction is fast and easy, and the ancients also noticed it early, and sulfur is often used to remove the harm of mercury. Mercury can also form alloys with many metals, called amalgamates. For example, it can form sodium amalgamates with sodium, which are used in chemical experiments and industrial production.
However, mercury is highly toxic. If its vapor is inhaled into the human body, it can damage the nervous system, digestion and immune system, and cause endless harm. Although the ancients used mercury in alchemy and other techniques, it gradually became clear about its harm. Mercury can oxidize slowly in the air, and a mercury oxide film is formed on the surface. Mercury can react with acids, bases, etc., and with oxidizing acids such as nitric acid to form mercury salts and nitrogen oxides.
Mercury has unique chemical properties. It has advantages and disadvantages in human life and production. It is necessary to make good use of it and be careful to prevent its harm.

This substance has a wide range of uses and is used in many fields.
In the field of military conquest, it is often used as a weapon for siege. Looking at ancient wars, during siege, this substance was carefully allocated to lead it with fire, and instantly the flames flew into the air. Its power is amazing, it can damage the enemy city wall, collapse the defense, open up a way for the enemy army to advance, help break the city and overcome the enemy, and turn the tide of the war.
It also plays an important role in civilian construction. When digging mountain roads and building plank roads, in the face of hard rocks, this substance can help craftsmen break down obstacles. Placing it reasonably in rock crevices can crack boulders after detonation, greatly speeding up the progress of the project, making traffic smoother, and promoting exchanges and trade between regions.
In the field of mining, it is also indispensable. When miners excavate ore, they encounter hard ore veins and use this substance to blast, which can efficiently mine ore, obtain various precious metals and mineral resources, promote the development of metallurgy and other related industries, and lay the foundation for the prosperity of the country's economy.
Furthermore, it can also be seen in celebrations and entertainment occasions. During festivals, craftsmen ingeniously design this substance into fireworks, which bloom in the night sky after ignition. They are colorful and have different shapes, bringing a visual feast to the people, adding a festive atmosphere, and carrying people's expectations and wishes for a better life.
Overall, this substance has shown unique value and significance in many aspects such as military, civilian construction, mining, and celebration entertainment.

There are many types of methods for making utensils, each with its own subtlety, and today I will describe them in the common ones.
One is the casting method. In the past, the casting utensils were mostly made of bronze. The clay mold was first molded, carefully crafted, so that the shape and spirit are complete. This mold is the embryonic form of the utensils. Later, the refractory material was made, and it was divided into several pieces. When the mold was combined, it was tightly sewn and could not be separated by the slightest. The copper material was melted in a crucible, and the copper liquid was poured into the mold at high temperature like flowing gold. When it cools and solidifies, carefully break the mold and take the utensils, and then polish and modify them to remove burrs, so that the surface of the utensils is smooth and the patterns are clear. The casting method can become a large object, such as a tripod, a bell, etc., which is solemn and majestic, carrying a heavy culture.
The second is the forging method. Choose a tough metal and beat it repeatedly with a sledgehammer. At first, the texture of the metal is coarse, and the force of beating makes its internal structure dense, and impurities gradually emerge. The craftsman follows the shape of the object, or stretches or bends, or folds or stacks, and with arm strength and skills, gives the metal a new shape. Forging tools are often tough, such as the genus of swords, which have been tempered for thousands of times, with sharp edges and cold light. And when forging, the metal comes into contact with air, forming an oxide layer on the surface, which can also add a unique color and texture to the object.
The third is the carving method. It is mostly used for hard materials such as jade. If the stone is warm and delicate in texture, it should be used to solve the jade sand and match the weight. The weight is rotated and ground, and the material is removed and formed according to the design pattern. Crafting jade requires patience and meticulousness, and every knife is related to the charm of the utensils. From outlining to finishing details, the craftsman pours his efforts. The warmth of jade and the delicacy of carving complement each other. It becomes accessories, ornaments, etc., which are exquisite and have high artistic value.
The fourth is the method of painting decoration. Paint on the surface of wood tires or other utensils. The paint liquid is collected from lacquer trees and can be used after refining. There are many layers of lacquer, and each layer needs to be dried before it can be reapplied. It can be inlaid with snail, gold and silver foil, etc. between the lacquer layers to add a gorgeous feeling. Or engrave patterns on the lacquer surface, with smooth knife techniques and gentle lines, making the utensils both practical and beautiful. Painted utensils are bright in color and can protect the carcass, and will not rot over time.
