As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a folk custom of picking dew to improve eyesight and basking in the sun, so the day of the natural medicine came. On this day, Shandong folks also have the custom of baking in the sky. Dewdrops and cinnabar are used in the early stage, and dewdrops are used to grind ink in the later stage, and children's foreheads or breasts are touched, which are mostly used in Lubei and Jiaodong areas. Some old ladies go to the fields before dawn to collect dew from the tips of grass, grind it into juice with prepared ink at noon, and then touch the children's hearts and surroundings with chopsticks, which is called "lighting Bai Bing". In Linqu area, bean dew picked in August is stored. It is said that this is dragon sweat, which can cure all diseases when used for cooking. There is also a local custom of making peach leaf paste with this dew and old peach leaves. In the morning (before sunrise), collect dew from the bean field with a clean cloth, put the dew and the old peach leaves in the pot, boil the peach leaves into juice with the soles of rags as fuel, remove the residue, and then boil the peach leaves into a thick paste. This is peach leaf cream. Ye Tao ointment is very effective in treating abdominal stagnation. There is a custom of picking purslane in Yinan. It is said that the purslane picked on this day can cure dysentery.
