Why is wormwood hanging on the door?

The method of hanging wormwood on the door is as follows:

1, hang wormwood in the morning

Before the Dragon Boat Festival was coming, our ancestors went to the mountains early in the morning to pick wormwood, especially those with dew. They usually put wormwood on the door before breakfast. If we can't pick wormwood directly in the city, we usually go to the morning market to buy wormwood and hang it on the door, praying for safety and health.

2, wormwood needs to be inserted backwards.

When inserting wormwood, you can't hang wormwood directly on the door. The correct way is to insert wormwood upside down. I believe many friends have not noticed this. Hanging wormwood upside down means that wormwood is home, which can drive away pests and diseases and is effective. So traditionally, when we insert wormwood, remember to insert wormwood backwards.

3. Choose intact wormwood.

Pay more attention when choosing wormwood. Wormwood should be long and straight, which is sincere and useful. Grandparents often say that hanging wormwood is also a sincere hope to stay away from evil, so if we don't hang wormwood sincerely, our respect will be insufficient, so we should pay more attention when choosing wormwood and try to choose a complete wormwood.

The first rain came down after the Dragon Boat Festival.

If it is hung at the gate, it is more appropriate to hang a handful of wormwood on the right side of the gate. If you hang two, that's one on the left and one on the right. As for the wormwood hanging by the window, it is hung on the left. There is also a saying that when the hanging wormwood will be taken down. The Dragon Boat Festival was celebrated in most places, and then it was withdrawn after the first rain.

5, hanging method

The method of hanging wormwood on the door is relatively simple. It is usually necessary to tie wormwood, banyan and calamus into a bundle with red paper, and then insert it or

Just hang it on the door. In this way, the peculiar smell produced by wormwood can drive away mosquitoes, flies and insect ants, and at the same time, it can also achieve

The effect of purifying air.
