1. Use sachets made of various herbs and smoke to kill mosquitoes. At first, the ancients lit a plant called "Miscanthus" and used its smoke to kill mosquitoes. However, the ancients soon discovered that although the smell of weeds can kill words, weeds are poisonous, so poisonous that they can even kill mice. So the ancients smoked mosquitoes with mild wormwood, and made wormwood into medicine bags to hang around the room to prevent mosquitoes. Wealthy families will use lavender, cordate telosma and mosquito repellent grass to make sachets and carry them with them to achieve mosquito repellent effect.
2. Use all kinds of mosquito nets. Speaking of mosquito nets, they are almost necessary anti-mosquito products in summer. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wealthy families used mosquito nets to prevent mosquitoes. In ancient times, people had to choose mosquito nets in the weather where mosquitoes were prevalent. Powerful people will reasonably match the color, fabric, pattern and shape of mosquito nets to show their status. In Yuefu poems, there are also "red flowers covering the curtain, sachets hanging at four corners", and sachets hanging at the four corners of the curtain to repel mosquitoes. At that time, this exquisite "mosquito net" was only available to famous families.
Keep some frogs to help repel mosquitoes. In ancient times, not everyone could afford mosquito nets, so they usually got a big water tank indoors and later raised some frogs in it. Taking advantage of the fact that mosquitoes like shade, as long as mosquitoes fly in, they will definitely become a dish for frogs.
Ancient mosquito repellent methods are also varied, far more than the above. Compared with modern times, their mosquito repellent methods are not only very environmentally friendly, but also reflect the wisdom of ancient people.
