Around the Dragon Boat Festival, it is common to see bunches of mugwort and calamus hanging on doors and windows across China. This long-standing custom dates back hundreds of years and reflects people's hopes for health, safety, and good fortune.
The aromatic plants are traditionally believed to help ward off insects and symbolize protection during the warmer months. Their distinctive fragrance has become one of the scents most closely associated with the festival season.
