“彼采艾兮，一日不见，如三岁兮.”
- 《诗经·王风·采葛》
"Picking wormwood, if one day not seeing it is like three years".
- from Book of Songs (chapter "Wang Feng. Picking kudzu")
This shows how important was the use of wormwood in ancient China.
The sentence has become a Chinese idiom and means something, which you like and miss a lot.
