The Cold Food Festival originated in Mianshan District, Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province, and has a history of 2640 years. It was once called the biggest folk festival. On this day, the whole country will ban smoking and only eat cold foods such as fruits and snacks, which originated from the story of burning mesons in Jin Wengong. According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, during Jin Wengong's exile, Jiezitui once cut meat to satisfy his hunger. When Jin Wengong returned to China as a monarch, he forgot to recommend him when he was enfeoffed. Jie Jie retired, didn't want to brag, competed for favor, and lived in seclusion with his mother in Jiexiu Mianshan. Later, Jin Wengong personally went to Mianshan to respectfully ask Jietui, but Jietui didn't want to be an official and hid in the mountains. Wen Gong's people released Yamakaji. 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. In order to commemorate this loyal minister, Jin Wengong issued an imperial edict to the whole country. The anniversary of meson push happened to be the105th day after the winter of solstice, during which hot work was forbidden in the whole country. Everyone should eat cold food, which is cold food. Since then, the Cold Food Festival has appeared. Later, with the merger of Tomb-Sweeping Day and the Cold Food Festival, the "Cold Food Festival" gradually faded out of the Chinese people's field of vision, but in Shanxi, it was preserved as an ancient festival, especially in Mianshan, Jiexiu, where you can eat a table of cold food and a culture!
