"Eat a treasure on Qingming Festival, and there is no trouble in the Year of the Tiger"! What is "1 treasure"? Picking short, eating clear and just.

Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as the outing festival and ancestor worship festival, is an ancient traditional festival in China, with the theme of tomb sweeping and ancestor worship. Tomb-Sweeping Day's ancestor worship is not only conducive to promoting filial piety and affection, but also promoting the cohesion and identity of family members.

In the long history of development, Tomb-Sweeping Day has merged with the Cold Food Festival in the north. It is said that the Cold Food Festival is to commemorate Jietui in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In fact, there is a short story: In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, went into exile in 2119 to avoid disaster, and Jietui, the minister, stayed with him for life and death, and even "cut off his share". Zhong Er lived up to expectations and became a generation of Ming Dynasty.

However, Jietui didn't pursue fame and fortune, and took his mother to the mountains. In order to force Jietui out of the mountains, Zhong Er ordered Yamakaji to be released. Unexpectedly, Jietui was determined not to leave the mountains, and finally he was burned to death in the mountains with his mother. Zhong Er regretted it. In order to commemorate Jietui's loyalty, he ordered everyone not to make a fire and only to eat cold meals during this period. This is the origin of the Cold Food Festival.

Now Tomb-Sweeping Day has been integrated with the Cold Food Festival, and the customs and habits of different places are different. So what should we eat on this day?
