Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao rebelled. When Huang Chao reached the city of Dengzhou in Henan, he found that refugees were fleeing. Huang Chao saw a middle-aged woman holding a five or six-year-old child in her arms and holding a two or three-year-old child by the hand, so he asked her why she ran away from home. The woman replied, "The government said that Huang Chao is coming to massacre Dengzhou and asked everyone to escape." When asked why she was holding the younger child and the older one in her arms, the woman replied, "The child I am holding is an orphan and his parents are both dead. The child I am holding is mine. If I have to leave one behind, I will leave the younger one behind." Huang Chao was deeply moved and said to her, "I, Huang Chao, specialize in killing corrupt officials. You love other people's orphans, and I love the people of the world." As he spoke, he pulled out two mugwort seedlings from the roadside and said to her, "Don't kill those who have mugwort! Please go back to the city and tell the poor that as long as they plant mugwort on their doors, they will not be harmed." The woman immediately went back to the city to pass the message, which soon spread throughout the city. That night, mugwort was inserted on the doors of all the poor families’ houses. The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival. The rebel army attacked Dengzhou. They did not kill anyone who saw mugwort on the door, but opened the warehouses to distribute food, and the people cheered. From then on, the custom of inserting mugwort was left behind.
