This custom is very popular among people in the Yangtze River valley.
③ Hanging wormwood and calamus
There is a reason why wormwood and calamus are hung at the entrance of the Dragon Boat Festival. Usually wormwood and calamus are tied into a bundle with red paper and then inserted or hung on the door. Because Acorus calamus is the first of the five auspicious symbols in the sky, it symbolizes the removal of the ominous sword. Because the growing season and shape are regarded as "the breath of a hundred yin", the leaves are sword-shaped and can be inserted at the door to ward off evil spirits. Therefore, the alchemist called it "water sword", and later the custom extended to "general sword", which can cut off all evil. Wormwood represents a hundred blessings and is a kind of herbal medicine that can cure diseases. Inserting it at the door can make you healthy. In ancient China, it has always been a medicinal plant.

GREAT GHOST, wearing a blue robe and a blue hat, caught the child, gouged out his eyes and swallowed it in one gulp. When asked by the Ming emperor, GREAT GHOST said: My surname is Zhong Kui, that is to say, I am the best martial artist. I am willing to exorcise evil spirits for your majesty. When the Ming emperor woke up, malaria was cured. So I asked Wu Daozi, the painter, to draw a portrait of Zhong Kui catching ghosts according to what I saw in my dream, and ordered all the people to post it on the Dragon Boat Festival to exorcise evil spirits.

Rowing a dragon boat to disperse the fish in the river so as not to eat Qu Yuan's body. Modern Times is the best activity to show team spirit, and the dragon boat rowing competition has gradually developed into an international invitational tournament in recent years.
