Reading guide: As the saying goes, "Qingming inserts willows, Dragon Boat Festival inserts wormwood", this is because in the past, the Dragon Boat Festival was also known as "Poison Day", and it was even called "the head of the system". Around the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is hot and rainy, all kinds of insects and flies are increasing, bitten by poisonous pests, the whole body will itch, at this time, people will clean the house inside and out, and at the same time will insert fresh wormwood at home, because wormwood has a very strong pungent fragrance, many pests smell this smell, will avoid it, so every household will hang fresh wormwood at home, play the role of insecticide and sterilization.
In our local area, every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, there are a lot of mugwort leaves sold in the vegetable field, if there is time, there are also a lot of wormwood in many wastelands, as long as you find a place, how many you want! At the beginning, when I planted wormwood at home, I would not abide by the rules of the older generation, and I was told by the uncle, and at the same time, I also reminded fans that in the Dragon Boat Festival, we should remember to "2 do not pick, 1 do not hang, 4 pay attention", and if you don't understand the rules, you will suffer!
【Two do not pick】Do not pick those that are too short or yellow
No matter what kind of plant, only fertile, fresh color, its nutritional value is high, everyone in the purchase of mugwort leaves or cut mugwort leaves, too short or yellowed wormwood is not picked, this mugwort leaves contain very little wormwood oil, the effect of repelling poisonous insects is relatively poor, especially the dry wormwood, there is almost no effect of repelling insects, and the withered wormwood has a bad implication that life has come to an end, this wormwood must not hang. When you pick wormwood, it is best to pick the height of about 5 feet, the color is emerald green, cut from the root 20 cm and take it home, this wormwood fragrance is particularly strong, and the effect of insect repellent is also the best
[Three do not hang]: There are pregnant women, babies, and patients at home
Pregnant women smell wormwood and vomit easily. The immunity of babies and patients is relatively low, and their smell of wormwood will cause allergic symptoms in the body, and in severe cases, it will affect the development of the body. If there are the above 3 types of people in the family, clean the home every day, pay attention to ventilation, and smoke the home with vinegar every week if possible, which can play a role in sterilization and disinfection.
【Four particulars】
1. The time for inserting mugwort leaves should not be later than 11 o'clock
When the older generation cuts wormwood, they start to cut it in the morning, and when the day dawns, they will hang the wormwood on the door, which is the temperature has not risen in the morning, and the fragrance of the freshly cut wormwood is particularly strong, at this time, quickly hang the wormwood at the door of the house, and the effect of insect repellent is particularly good. As the temperature rises, wormwood becomes darker, and wormwood oil in wormwood is lost, resulting in the deworming effect of wormwood deworming, so when you hang wormwood leaves during the Dragon Boat Festival, you must hang them before 11 in the morning.
2. Insert wormwood in an even number
When inserting wormwood, be sure to insert an even number, because the older generation believes that "good things come in pairs". And when inserting wormwood, you have to cut all the wormwood neatly, if you insert the "three long and two short" wormwood into the door, it means that in the following days, it will be unlucky. When cutting wormwood, be sure to cut it with scissors, don't fold it hard, because folding wormwood and "folding love" are homonyms, which means that there will be emotional problems next, and everyone must pay attention.
3. Wormwood should be hung
When you plant wormwood at home, it is best to hang it upside down, with the leaves facing down and the roots facing up. Because the older generation believes that "wormwood" is a mascot, and the Spring Festival hanging blessing is the same, hanging wormwood upside down can make "blessing into the house", bless the family in the following days more healthy. Moreover, wormwood hangs upside down, which can make the wormwood oil in wormwood slowly volatilize, thereby prolonging the time of wormwood deworming.
4. The inserted wormwood is thrown for 1 month
Inserted wormwood, we don't wait for the Dragon Boat Festival to throw away, although after the Dragon Boat Festival, the wormwood oil in the wormwood is slowly decreasing, but it still has a certain insect repellent effect, in the Dragon Boat Festival after 1 month, are more mosquitoes, just wormwood deworming effect in January are effective, after 1 month, wormwood is dry, wormwood is also easy to insects, at this time to throw away wormwood.
