One of the ministers was a loyal minister named Jie Zitui. , cut a piece of meat from his body, roasted it over fire and gave it to Chong'er. Later, Chong'er became the king and wanted Jie Zitui to come and appoint him as an official. Jie Zitui refused and fled into Mianshan. In order to let Jie Zitui become a high official, he set fire to the mountain so that Jie Zitui could push him out. The fire burned for three days and three nights before he was extinguished. When he entered the mountain, he saw that Jie Zitui and his mother were holding a tree.

April 5th is designated as Qingming Festival. After hearing this legend, everyone should know the origin of Qingming Festival!
We go to worship our ancestors every year, and this year is no exception. We drove to Hanshou to visit the grave. When we arrived at Hanshou, we went straight to Grandma’s grave. On the way, Grandpa told the story of Grandma’s life. Grandpa died early, and Grandma worked hard to raise Grandpa and his brothers and sisters alone. ...At this time, everyone's eyes were wet, and I, a little man, almost burst into tears.
When we arrived at the tomb, grandpa lit candles and incense and we lined up to kowtow as dad. At that time, I seemed to be thinking about the time when my great-grandmother loved him very much, and she was silently saying some blessings. When it was my turn to kowtow, I pictured my great-grandmother's kind face in my heart, and I clasped my hands and hoped that my great-grandmother would. May our family be safe and happy, and may I enter an ideal university in the future.
After sweeping the tomb, we walked back, and the heaviness in our hearts disappeared. Along the way, we talked and laughed and enjoyed the spring. The beautiful scenery, the golden rapeseed flowers can’t be seen to the end, and there are yellow everywhere; the soft and slender wicker flutters in the wind, like a little girl’s hair fluttering in the wind. We took off the wicker and woven it into a hat and put it on our head. Spring is so beautiful!
Qingming Festival is a traditional festival in my country with a history of more than 2,500 years. This festival is a kind of respect and memory for ancestors. Now it has become a festival for family reunion. I hope Can be passed down from generation to generation.
