An old saying goes, "Drinking realgar wine will keep away all diseases." Realgar is a mineral, commonly known as "cockscomb stone". The realgar wine that people usually drink is just a trace amount of realgar added to white wine or homemade yellow wine, and it is not drunk pure. Realgar is a mineral that contains arsenic trisulfide and is mixed with wine. It becomes realgar wine, which is used to expel parasites and eliminate the five poisons. It can be applied on the forehead of children. Ears, nose, hands and soles of feet. And sprinkle the walls with it to drive away all poisons. The story of "The Legend of the White Snake" that is popular among the people is about using realgar wine to detoxify snakes and reveal their true form. This custom is very popular among families in the Yangtze River Basin. However, from the perspective of modern medicine, drinking realgar wine is extremely harmful to the human body. Even if you don't drink it, just applying realgar wine on the child's head or body is not advisable. Even small doses can cause damage to the liver. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to drink realgar wine directly. What to drink during the Dragon Boat Festival: Calamus wine Another type of wine that is most commonly consumed during the Dragon Boat Festival is calamus wine, which is made by soaking calamus and mugwort. In the Song Dynasty, calamus was regarded as a "thing that wards off evil spirits", so the custom of drinking calamus wine to ward off evil spirits during the Dragon Boat Festival became very popular. As early as the pre-Qin period, there were records about the medicinal value of calamus in ancient books such as "Shennong Bencao Jing" and "Zhou Li". Using calamus to soak wine was most popular in the Ming Dynasty. Li Shizhen pointed out in Compendium of Materia Medica that "calamus wine can cure thirty-six kinds of wind, twelve kinds of paralysis, unclog blood vessels, cure bone atrophy, and long-term consumption can improve hearing and eyesight." Acorus wine is produced in Yuanqu, Shanxi Province. It is a blended wine with an orange-yellow color and a slight emerald green color. It is clear and transparent, with a fragrant smell. The wine aroma is thick and the medicinal aroma is harmonious, without losing the natural characteristics of Chinese herbal medicine. It tastes sweet but not greasy, with a slight medicinal taste, which makes people not disgusted. It is refreshing and spicy without choking the throat. It makes people feel refreshed after drinking it. The alcohol content is 45 degrees and the sugar content is 12 degrees.

What to drink during the Dragon Boat Festival: Yellow wine From a scientific point of view, realgar wine needs to be treated with caution, while rice wine is beneficial to human health. Huangjiu is actually a kind of rice wine. Unlike white wine, Huangjiu has not been distilled and its alcohol content is less than 20%. Different types of Huangjiu also have different colors such as beige, yellowish brown or reddish brown. In traditional Chinese medicine, rice wine can be used as medicine. Drinking it raw is effective for tachycardia, anorexia, irritability, etc. Drinking it hot can relieve blood stasis, milk deficiency, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, and numbness of hands and feet. Drinking it hot is good for your health, as some harmful substances in the wine will evaporate after being heated. Yellow wine plus preserved plums have significant effects in nourishing yin and beautifying the skin. They can also moisten the lungs and protect the liver, and alleviate the damage caused by alcohol to the liver. Boiling rice wine with longan, lychee and red dates can relieve irregular menstruation, anemia, spermatorrhea and diarrhea.
