"Don't plug in early, don't plug in late, dragon boat doesn't hang short", and hang Ai 2 on Dragon Boat Festival, the old tradition can't be lost.

Dragon Boat Festival has always been a folk custom. On this day, people will add a festive atmosphere through a series of activities such as dragon boat racing, eating zongzi and washing dragon water.

People want to purify the dirty atmosphere around them through a series of sacrificial activities.

In ancient times, sacrifices were made on the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was also hoped that the weather would be good this year.

Let the crops planted by the people have a harvest.

The appearance of this festival is inseparable from Qu Yuan's patriotic feelings.

When I saw my country fall and perish, I jumped into the Miluo River because I was too sad.

People also admire his patriotism very much, just on the day when Qu Yuan jumped into the river.

A special festival was set up to commemorate him, which is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.

First, the custom legend of hanging wormwood

There is a saying about the custom of hanging wormwood. In ancient times, people's living and medical standards were relatively low.

The living environment is easy to be invaded by snakes, mice and mosquitoes.

Especially during the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting muggy.

Due to the hot and dry weather on the Dragon Boat Festival, a villager changed the time of doing farm work to the early morning.

While he was doing farm work, an animal resembling a centipede appeared in the farmland.

The villager tried to escape the attack of these unknown things.

The man wanted to run in the opposite direction, but when he was avoiding the attack of these unknown animals.

Not long after the man left, he found that the animals stopped attacking.

Not only did these animals not attack, but they also retreated. The villager felt very strange.

Through the observation of the location, I found that where I am, with the growth of large areas of wormwood, wormwood also exudes a burst of fragrance.

The villager also speculated that perhaps it was wormwood that dispersed these animals with its fragrance.

The villagers picked wormwood home and hung it in the house. During hanging wormwood, he found that there were fewer mosquitoes, mice and ants in the house.

He told the villagers who lived together about this discovery.

It also derived the custom of hanging wormwood in the house during the Dragon Boat Festival.

People can use wormwood to drive away poisonous animals and protect their homes.

Second, plug in early, not late.

The time of picking wormwood is also particular. It is best to pick wormwood before the dew on it dissipates in the morning.

Collecting wormwood with dew at home can better disperse poisonous insects, mice and snakes.

The wormwood has water infiltration, which can better and fully volatilize the original fragrance.

The time of picking wormwood is different from the time of hanging wormwood, so there is no need to hang the harvested wormwood on the door immediately.

The time to hang wormwood should be noon, when the sun is most poisonous.

Hanging wormwood at this time of noon also has a richer and better meaning.

The moral is to make family life better and better, and life will flourish.

Hanging wormwood after sunset will bring bad luck to the family.

Third, Dragonair didn't hang short.

Wormwood can not only repel insects and evil spirits, but also pray for good fortune.

I also want to hang at home for good luck.

Of course, fine wormwood should be chosen for hanging. On the one hand, hanging slender wormwood at home also reflects a family atmosphere.

Hanging wormwood is short. Hanging it at the door will make people feel stingy and affect the overall aesthetic feeling.

Artemisia humilis is not effective in expelling poisonous insects, poisonous snakes and ants.

So there is a saying that wormwood should be long but not short.

Four, two, don't hang up.

In this proverb, hanging wormwood means that there are old people in the family, and families with infants are not recommended to hang wormwood.

Because the comprehensive resistance of the elderly body and all aspects has declined, the body organs have also declined.

The smell of wormwood made the old man feel unwell after smelling it.

Some elderly people may have allergic reactions to this special smell.

The development of various organs of newborn babies is not yet fully mature.

Smelling such a strong smell of wormwood will stimulate the baby's own sensory system and have a bad influence on the child's body.

Especially hanging wormwood at home, wormwood will gradually dehydrate and dry up after a period of time, and the dried wormwood will become more finely divided.

These small pieces of wormwood will affect your health after being breathed by children.

The second is that it is not recommended to hang this kind of wormwood that has been exposed to strong light for a long time.

Wormwood is air-dried for a long time in a strong and high temperature environment.

Plants wither and dehydrate, and dehydrated wormwood can't play a corresponding role, and there is no need to hang it.

Summary:

Dragon Boat Festival should not only eat zongzi to wash dragon water, but also hang wormwood.

Wormwood is also a large number of herbs growing around the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the past, people hung wormwood to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.

Because the shape of wormwood is similar to a sword, I want to keep bad things out with the righteousness of wormwood.

Hanging wormwood is also an essential custom of the Dragon Boat Festival.
