Huozhong Dong is the founder of ZenWrist. He selects and checks every cinnabar piece the shop sells, and he writes the guides on this site — on cinnabar culture, telling real pieces from imitations, and everyday care.

Huozhong Dong founded ZenWrist to sell hand-carved cinnabar bracelets, pendant necklaces, and car hangings in an Eastern Zen style. He also runs MOONCRYS, our sister shop for natural crystal jewelry.
Day to day, he chooses which pieces are listed, checks materials and specifications before a piece goes on sale, and sends sample pieces for third-party lab testing — the certificates are published on our certificates page, with the honest note that they cover the tested samples only. How pieces are chosen is written up in How we choose every piece.
His guides cover cinnabar in Chinese culture and folk custom, how to tell genuine cinnabar from imitations, how to choose bead size, weight and budget, and how to clean and care for a piece day to day. Product copy sticks to what can be verified — materials, dimensions, and traditional cultural symbolism; ZenWrist makes no efficacy claims.

Huozhong Dong, the founder. He writes from what he checks himself — the pieces he selects, their materials and dimensions, and the sample lab tests published on the certificates page.
Sample pieces are sent to third-party laboratories and the certificates are published as issued. They cover the tested samples only, not every item sold.
Through the Contact section on the homepage — questions about pieces, orders, and corrections to the guides all reach him.
