The Witten's version for constructing the skein relations of link polynomials based on (2 + 1) Chern-Simons Lagrangian is shown to be universal for Lie algebras. The extended state calculations are developed to give the explicit representations of braid group and new understanding of framing factor from the point of view of generalized Markov trace.
