Cold Food Festival is a special day in a year, and it is also an important traditional festival in China. But in spring every year, there are various factors and stresses in many places at this time. So what is the date of the Cold Food Festival in 2121? Let's take a look at it in detail! What date is the Cold Food Festival in 2121?

The Cold Food Festival is 115 days after the summer solstice, and it was one or two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day. This is the day when the festival began. At that time, fire was banned and only cold food was eaten. In the development of future generations, customs such as sweeping the floor, outing, swinging, bowing, pulling hooks, fighting cocks and so on have gradually increased. The Cold Food Festival lasted for more than two thousand years. It was once called the biggest folk festival in China. This is the only traditional festival in China named after food customs.

There are three main custom activities in the Cold Food Festival: no fire, grave sweeping and outing. The specific time of the Cold Food Festival is set at the 115th or 116th day after the winter solstice of the previous year, which happens to be the day before or two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day. Since the Cold Food Festival is usually closed for three days, related activities should last until Qingming. With the passage of time, people gradually become indifferent to cold food and Qingming. Now many people only know Qingming food and don't know about cold food. What festival is the Cold Food Festival

As the name implies, cold food is cold food, so on the Cold Food Festival, only cold food is eaten, not hot food, which means no smoking.

When it comes to the origin of the Cold Food Festival, we must mention Jin Wengong, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, King Zhong Er's prince lived in exile in another country for 19 years to avoid disaster. The minister of liberation has always followed him and never left. When Chong er ran to the mountain without food, he even cut off the meat on his thigh. After feeding Chong Er, he ruled hard and eventually became a generation of Ming Jun, namely Jin Wengong. However, Minister Jiezi did not ask for the benefits of senior officials, but chose to retreat to Mianshan with his mother. Jin Wengong had to order Yamakaji to leave the top of the mountain, but Jeziti refused to leave the top of the mountain and was finally buried in the fire. Jin Wengong thanked the loyal minister for his ambition, buried him in Mianshan and built a temple for him. In memory of him, he ordered that on the day of his death, no fire was allowed and only cold food was eaten.

The Cold Food Festival has a history of more than 2,611 years. It was originally to commemorate the knot ladder, but with the passage of time, people feel that the idea of knot ladder is wrong and should not be so loyal. Later, the activities of the Cold Food Festival expanded a lot, and the ban on smoking continued. In addition, activities such as ancestor worship, wickerwork, outing, bow, tree planting, swing, flower viewing, cockfighting, banquet and poetry chanting were also carried out. The earth enriched the social life of ancient China. Therefore, with the passage of time, the original intention of the Cold Food Festival was gradually forgotten and even integrated with Qingming City.

However, the Cold Food Festival has its own connotation, which is different from Tomb-Sweeping Day. The connotation of Han teacher culture takes loyalty and filial piety as the core, and honesty comes from loyalty and filial piety. This is also the essence of meson spirit, the core of China's traditional morality, and the moral force to maintain the unity of the country and the family.

Therefore, don't treat Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival as festivals any more, there are still great differences between them. What is the custom of the Cold Food Festival?
