Introduction to the Origin of Cold Food Festival
The origin of the Cold Food Festival, according to historical records: During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, fled to other countries and lived in exile for 19 years. Minister Jiezitui always followed around and never gave up; Even "cutting stocks." Zhong Er tried to become a famous gentleman "Jin Wengong". But meson tui didn't want to make a fortune, so he lived in seclusion with his mother in Mianshan. Jin Wengong ordered the release of Yamakaji to force him out of the mountain, but meson was determined not to go out of the mountain and eventually died in a fire. Jin Wengong remembered his loyalty, buried him in Mianshan, built a shrine and a temple, and ordered the fire and cold to be banned on the day of the holiday to show his condolences. This is the origin of the "Cold Food Festival".

The story of the origin of the Cold Food Festival
According to folklore, Jiezitui ran away from home and met her white-haired mother. There is no need to elaborate on the words 19 years of mother-child reunion, sadness and joy, and separation.
A few days later, Jin Wengong (that is, Zhong Er) has posted a reward for meritorious service, and the wind has reached my ears.
The old lady said to the meson, "Son, people have a hundred hectares of fertile land, a new house and a new yard. You and Jin Wengong have been scraping meat for more than ten years, and you have made great contributions. Why don't you take a part-time job? Why don't we both be free for a few days? Why don't we come to the mud and go into the water! "
Meson said: "A gentleman can cure it, but a mother can raise it. Jin Wengong is the master of the world, which is an act of god, not a piece of son's meat! Let it be, it is better not to go. "
The mother listened to what her son said, and nodded and said, "If there are fierce children in the world, there must be fierce mothers, just like my son."
In addition, there is a tofu customer named Xie Zhang in Jiezidui Village who goes to Beijing to do tofu business. He found that there was no meson push's name in the announcement on the wall of the city gate, and he was so angry that he had the idea of playing rough.
Immediately wrote a black notice: "there is a dragon, and it loses its sorrow; Many snakes followed it around the world. The dragon is hungry and lacks food, and the snake cuts stocks; When the dragon returns to the abyss, it will restore the bad soil. All snake man's caves have their own peaceful dwellings; A snake without a hole is huge in the end. Hehe! "
Secretly attached to the post, found by the list protector, took it off and gave it to Jin Wengong.
When Jin Wengong saw it, he was really ashamed to know that he had leaked the title of Juelu to Jietui. He quickly sent someone to ask mesons to push into the DPRK. However, meson tui had long expected this and had taken his mother back to Mianshan to live in seclusion. Please ask someone to find out and report the matter to Jin Wengong truthfully when you come back.
Jin Wengong was overjoyed when he heard the news, but he was really worried because he didn't reply to the meson tweet.
Zhao Shuai, the next prime minister, said, "I have a plan to let mesons push themselves out of the mountain."
Jin Wengong quickly asked, "What's Ai Qing's good plan?"
Zhao Shuai said: "meson tui is a dutiful son. In my opinion, there is a fire at the foot of Mianshan Mountain. The meson pushes it and naturally carries the mother out of the mountain. "
Jin Wengong thought it was reasonable, so he sent someone to burn Mianshan. Unexpectedly, the person who set the fire didn't hear clearly, so he lit a fire around the mountain forest. There is no way out for meson push, so we have to use our bodies to block the fire for our mother.
The fire and water were ruthless, and the mother and son were burned alive under a willow tree in the forest, and even the willow trees were burned into a black pile. The fire raged for three days, the smoke dispersed and the fire went out.
Jin Wengong, who was heartbroken, assembled his army and went over the mountains to find the trace of the mother and son. After searching for several days, under the stubble of a charred willow tree, I found a jade bracelet and a meson push to take out the ashes of my mother and son.
Jin Wengong took off his robe and burst into tears. Then Jin Dingyu was buried.
At this time, Jin Wengong fasted and bathed, set up an incense table, and named meson as a mountain god.
Mianshan was burned on the day before Qingming.
Later, in order to commemorate meson push, Jin Wengong ordered the people all over the country not to move fireworks and eat cold food for three days every year.
If anyone is found to have a cigarette burning, they will chop down their house.
China people follow it and form a custom meson to promote loyalty to the monarch and filial piety to the mother, which is admired by the world. The custom of worshipping mountain gods and cold food festivals in Qiu Chi has been formed and spread to this day.

Who is the Cold Food Festival to commemorate?
The Cold Food Festival commemorates the famous minister of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jie Zitui. According to legend, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, fled to a remote place with his courtiers such as Jiezitui in order to escape the war. When Zhong Er was hungry, Jiezitui cut a piece of meat from his leg, cooked it with fire, and then gave it to Zhong Er. After Zhong Er regained power, he rewarded courtiers through thick and thin, except for meson push.
When someone complained about mesons, Zhong Er felt guilty, so he sent someone to ask for mesons to be rewarded and sealed. However, Jiezitui refused Zhong Er's reward and hid behind his mother's back in Mianshan. Later, Zhong Er personally went to Mianshan to ask for meson push, but meson push was still unwilling. Zhong Er ordered the mountain to be set on fire. The intention is to force mesons to show their faces. As a result, meson pushed his mother and was burned to death under a big tree.
Zhong Er looked at meson's body and regretted it. When meson was buried, he found a willow hole on his back, which seemed to be something. I took it out and saw that it was a skirt with a poem engraved on it: "May my Lord always be clear." It is better to be a ghost than to accompany you as an exhorter. If your master has me in his heart, remember that I often reflect. I have a clear conscience in Jiuquan, diligent and honest. "
To commemorate Jiezitui, Zhong Er ordered Mianshan to be changed to "Jieshan", where an ancestral temple was built, and designated the day when Yamakaji was released as the Cold Food Festival. Fireworks are forbidden on this day every year, and only cold food is eaten. The following year, Zhong Er led his ministers to go hiking in plain clothes to show their respect and condolences. After the sweeping ceremony, Jin Wengong named the resurrected old willow "Qingming Willow" and named this day Tomb-Sweeping Day.
