Chapter 470: Talking about how to hang wormwood
found Su Xuejing, holding a pile of wormwood.....
"Cinnabar, Huang Fu," Su Xuejing counted things and handed them to me.
Everything, she didn't fall behind.
Even the one I asked her to find, the Dragon Boat Festival wormwood, was deliberately sorted out.
After handing it to me, she also had some wormwood in her hand that was obviously bluish.
Listen to her, this is what she used, ready to hang in front of the fat man's house.
Because I just heard from me that wormwood can drive away evil spirits and cure diseases, I deliberately bought some.
Used to hang in front of the fat man's house......
"Of course," Su Xuejing emphasized, "those who did it were all old."
Su Xuejing is very careful.
She remembered that we had been to the host's house two days before.
At that time, there were two hangings of wormwood hanging in front of the landlord's house.
So she deliberately drove to the landlord's house.
I bought these wormwoods......
"Okay," as long as it was the Dragon Boat Festival last year, the aged wormwood hanging at the door would be.
I took the wormwood and took a random brush with cinnabar.
After spreading out the yellow talisman, he drew two contemplation talismans.
After the cinnabar ink dried, I took my things to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, I raised my hand and landed two yellow talismans on the fat man's eyebrows.
Suddenly, two condensing talismans went down, and the red cinnabar spell mark flashed.
The fat man immediately groaned, "This breath is finally out of breath!"
He gasped for breath and exclaimed, "It's so comfortable....it's so comfortable!"
I refilled the tub with some hot water.
After the fat man screamed again and again... It was as if his body was heating and had reached its limit, so I turned off the valve of the hot water.
Instead, he threw the wormwood, which was roughly broken, into the bathtub.
After all, at the moment, the situation of the fat man is not optimistic... Otherwise, it should be soaked in boiling water.
After it cooled, I was soaking the fat man.
At the moment, I'm a little perfunctory... But as soon as the rest was gone, I sternly instructed the fat man: "Boil boiling water tonight, soak it to cool down, and soak it well!"
"Okay," the fat man had strength, and he sat up strongly,
After he remembered it, I got up and said, "Soak for half an hour... When you're done, rinse yourself!"
"Thank you Mr. Jiang," the fat man began to politely again.
I nodded, turned and walked out of the bathroom.
When I came to the living room, I saw Su Xuejing... She took off her shoes.
Stepping barefoot on the bench and hanging wormwood on tiptoe.....
Looking at the two bundles of thick wormwood she tied, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Wormwood, you didn't hang it like this!"
She was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red: "Mr. Jiang, do you have anything to say about this hanging wormwood?"
"Of course," I said, "It's also very particular about picking wormwood and hanging wormwood during the Dragon Boat Festival..."
She was even more embarrassed: "I don't know much about these, and I have been abroad for the past few years, so I don't know this custom at all."
"Then I'll help you," I stepped forward, helping her rearrange the wormwood as I elaborated on the details.
Among them, one of the most important criteria is that wormwood should be picked with thick branches and lush leaves, and weak, dry and yellow wormwood should not be wanted. Because to hang wormwood on the door of the house, it is not only to meet the needs of customs, but also to take into account its beauty. If some broken and defective wormwood is hung in front of the door, in the eyes of people, this not only cannot play the role of driving away poison and evil spirits, but also is very unsightly and unlucky.
There are also various particulars about hanging wormwood. First of all, the pending double is not a pending order. There is a folk saying, "Hang moxa three long and two short, hang moxa taboo broken and single". That is to say, in addition to avoiding hanging stump branches and broken branches, it is also necessary to avoid the number of pending orders.
Specifically, "avoid three long and two short" because it is not beautiful and the meaning is not good..... "Avoid three long and two short" is to avoid encountering bad things. "Pending Orders without Pending Orders"
It is also the same reason, the ancients often said that good things come in pairs, so the singular number is somewhat unlucky and taboo.
Secondly, dried wormwood cannot be hung. The main purpose of hanging wormwood is to drive away poison and evil spirits, drive away mosquito poison, etc., and one of the important effects is the smell of wormwood. Fresh wormwood has an extremely strong smell, and the smell of dried wormwood has weakened or even disappeared, so hanging such wormwood has lost its effect of repelling poison and warding off evil spirits.
Again, hang early and not late. Folks believe that the Dragon Boat Festival day hanging wormwood, the earlier the better, the best not later than 12 o'clock, if more than 12 o'clock, then its effect of driving away poison and evil spirits is lost.
Speaking of which, I've already sorted out two bundles of wormwood....
Immediately, while hanging wormwood, he continued to elaborate... The position of the wormwood hanging. Folks believe that the gate is the entrance for a family's wealth god to enter and exit, and hanging wormwood in front of the gate is the most suitable location choice. Hanging wormwood at the gate can play the greatest role in driving away poison and evil spirits, and avoid poisonous insects from entering the house from the gate and endangering people's physical and mental health. At the same time, hanging wormwood at the gate has the meaning of praying for good fortune and driving away bad luck.
Secondly, wormwood hangs upside down. Generally speaking, hanging things are generally hanging upright, and wormwood hangs upside down because it largely takes into account its "top-heavy" situation. Hang the bundled wormwood in front of the door, and due to gravity, the heavy head will inevitably face down, and the light root will face up. So, wormwood hanging upside down became a reasonable choice.
In addition, wormwood hanging upside down has the same meaning as the Chinese New Year word "Fu", both of which have the meaning of driving away bad luck and praying for good fortune.
Finally, in general, wormwood can be hung in front of the house for many days, because the smell of wormwood is stronger, and fresh wormwood will gradually lose its smell after many days. Therefore, the wormwood hanging during the Dragon Boat Festival does not have to be taken off on the same day or the next day, but can be left for a few more days, so as to achieve the maximum effect of repelling poison and insects.
If it's used to ward off evil spirits... The aged wormwood is even better!
Because the yang energy contained in it will be even worse!
