For more information about the auspicious and inauspicious days in the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2019, please visit Mr. Shuimo's website.When should we hang mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival?Generally, you can hang mugwort and calamus on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, but in some places you can hang them a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival. It depends on you, just be casual.The Chinese people have always called the fifth month of the lunar calendar the "poisonous month" and the fifth day of the fifth month the "poisonous day". Therefore, on the Dragon Boat Festival, people hang mugwort and calamus on their doorsteps: calamus is the first of the five auspicious animals in the sky, and its leaves are sword-shaped, so the alchemists call it "water sword", which is extended to "calamus sword", which can cut off thousands of evil spirits; mugwort represents a hundred blessings, and it is a medicinal herb that can cure diseases, and putting it at the door can make you healthy. How much mugwort is appropriate to hang during the Dragon Boat Festival?Generally, one or several poles are hung on one side of the gate. Just weigh it according to the actual size of your own gate!In addition, people in the Han Dynasty believed that May 5th was an evil month and an evil day, so they used the custom of hanging mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival to get rid of plague, drive away evil spirits, and pray for good luck. Now, with the improvement of living standards, people living in cities rarely have the opportunity to hang mugwort to ward off diseases and prevent illnesses during the Dragon Boat Festival. If you have an Ai Yisheng moxibustion instrument at home, you can do moxibustion at home, which can better dispel cold and dampness, promote blood circulation and detoxify, promote blood circulation and activate collaterals, eliminate diseases and prevent diseases, and maintain health. In addition, used moxa cakes can be burned to fumigate the room to repel mosquitoes and insects. What are the customs of hanging mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival?There are reasons for hanging mugwort, calamus, pomegranate and garlic at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival. Usually, mugwort, banyan and calamus are tied into a bundle with red paper and then inserted or hung on the door.Because calamus is the first of the five auspicious plants in the sky, it symbolizes a sword that can ward off evil. Because its growing season and appearance are considered to be sensitive to the "hundred yin energy", its leaves are sword-shaped, and inserting them at the door can ward off evil. Therefore, the alchemists called it "water sword", and later customs extended it to "cattail sword", which can kill all kinds of evil. In the Qing Dynasty, Gu Tieqing recorded in "Qing Jia Lu" that "cut cattails into swords, cut reeds into whips, and add peach stems and garlic to them, and hang them on the bedside, all to ward off evil spirits." However, in the "Fengtuzhi" of the Jin Dynasty, it is recorded that "using mugwort to make a tiger shape, or cutting ribbons into a small tiger, and sticking mugwort leaves on it, the women competed to cut it. Later, calamus was added, or made into a human shape, or into a sword shape, called calamus sword, to drive away evil spirits and ghosts." 2019 is the year of Tai Sui for those born in the Year of the Pig.
