What plants should be hung at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival?

The plant hung at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival is mugwort. Generally, mugwort is hung at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival mainly because the unique fragrance produced by mugwort can repel mosquitoes, flies, insects and ants, and at the same time can achieve the effect of purifying the air. Mugwort is a common Chinese herbal medicine and has certain benefits to human health.
There is a folk saying that goes "Plant willows on Qingming Festival and plant mugwort on Dragon Boat Festival". During the Dragon Boat Festival, people have the custom of inserting mugwort on the door. Generally, several mugworts are tied into a bundle with a red rope, and then hung or inserted on the door frame. It can be hung on both sides of the door as long as it does not hinder the opening and closing of the door. It can also be hung on the window. Generally, this bundle of mugwort does not need to be removed until it dries and falls off naturally.

Is it okay to keep mugwort hanging on the door?

Mugwort can be hung on the door for a long time. Mugwort itself is a perennial herb or shrub with a strong odor. Hanging it at the door can improve our Feng Shui fortune and help us resolve evil spirits that may enter our home. Usually we hang mugwort on the door during the Dragon Boat Festival, when we visit the graves of our ancestors, when we are released from prison, or when we have experienced a major disaster. It doesn't matter how long we hang it, but we need to be aware that mugwort will dry out and break. If it breaks, it will not have a good meaning, so we need to take it down in time.
