The ice platform in the ancient population refers to wormwood.

Ice platform is another name for wormwood. Every evening before the Dragon Boat Festival, people will pick up sickles and cut wormwood in the ditch. When they got home, they planted wormwood on the windowsill or under the eaves to ward off disasters. The ancestors said that eating mugwort eggs before sunrise can avoid many diseases, so even in the busy farming season, everyone should seriously eat mugwort eggs before wheat harvesting in the sky.

The moral of wormwood:

The flower language of wormwood is peace, which means not to put pain on yourself. Since ancient times, people have regarded wormwood as an auspicious herb, which is often used in sacrificial activities in Tomb-Sweeping Day. There is also a folk custom of "inserting willows in Qingming Festival and wormwood in Dragon Boat Festival". Whenever the Dragon Boat Festival comes, people will insert wormwood on the doors and beams of their homes.

They will also light wormwood and calamus and smoke them all over the house. Some people mix wormwood with calamus, weave it into the shape of a villain, and carry it with them as an ornament, thinking that it can attract health and happiness, as well as drive away evil spirits.
