Is it right to insert Ai Qingming in the willow tree during the Dragon Boat Festival?

Ai Qingming and Liu are right in the Dragon Boat Festival. This is a proverb with a historical origin.

The purpose of inserting willows in Qingming Festival is to commemorate Shennong, because in ancient legend, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs to get people's food now. Without him, we humans can't reproduce, so the willow is inserted to show our respect for him.

Another reason is that putting wicker under the eaves can predict the weather well. If the wicker stays green, it will rain in most cases. If the wicker dries, it will soon be clean. These are the wisdom of life accumulated by farmers.

Wormwood is inserted in the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. He devoted himself to his country, but he was never appreciated. After being demoted, he knew that the fate of the country could not be changed, and finally he could only throw himself into the Miluo River with deep regret. Later generations will put wormwood on the door during the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan's loyal patriotic spirit. ?

What other proverbs are there?

"Toads can't hide from the fifth day of May", this sentence means that people used to catch toads on the Dragon Boat Festival, because toads can prepare medicine, reduce fire and prevent skin diseases, so they can't hide at this time.

"Drinking realgar wine keeps all diseases away." This sentence is similar to Artemisia argyi, because the weather is hot at this time, there will be more insects and skin diseases, but realgar can sterilize, repel insects and detoxify, so many people used to drink realgar wine. If they can't drink it, they can also put it on their bodies to prevent diseases.
