Mosquitoes are a kind of “blood-sucking insects” that our people are very annoying. In the summer, they often disturb you for no peace all night. Especially in many places in the south of China, as soon as the evening, the mosquitoes are like shadows. The group is surrounded by you, waiting for an attack, making you angry and helpless. People’s aversion to this bug has been around for a long time. In the poems written by Ouyang Xiu, a well-known scholar in the Song Dynasty, they said: "Although it is helpless, but it is difficult to prevent poisoning"; people feel that "the smoke of the smoke, the smoke of the wall," highlights people. This concept.
In order to prevent the scourge of mosquitoes, people have gradually invented mosquito nets and mosquito coils. The invention of mosquito coils may be related to the ancient customs of the Dragon Boat Festival and the custom of burning incense. "Jingchu Years of the Year" records: "The Dragon Boat Festival four people stepping on the grass, picking up Ai as a person, hanging on the house, suffocating gas." In the early years of the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to inserting wormwood at the door, they often soaked the realgar wine on the body. This may make the air fresher, followed by the prevention of mosquito bites. I remember when I was young, my mother said that I could prevent mosquito bites when I went to my forehead for the realgar drink on the Dragon Boat Festival. Of course, parents usually attach a sachet to their children, and then eat some garlic to enhance the effect of disease prevention and deworming.
