清明節 來源
Tomb Sweeping day is said to commemorate a servant who lived during the Spring and Autumn Period, dating back to around 770 - 476 BC. Showing his loyalty to his Lord, the servant cut a piece of meat from his leg, to keep his Lord alive after being forced into exile. When the lord came back into power 19 years later, he initially didn't pay much respect to the servant who saved his life. Eventually, he regretted his decision and wanted to reward him.
However, the servant now lived in solitude with his mother in the mountains, and when the lord went to look for him, he was nowhere to be found.
