In ancient China, there were two traditional festivals on the 105th and 108th days after the winter solstice: the Cold Food Festival, which smoked fire and ate cold food, and the Qingming Festival, which guided farming and sought new life. The sacrifice of nostalgia is the unchanging theme from cold food to Qingming, which has lasted for more than 2500 years since the Zhou Dynasty. Over time, cold food and Qingming became one festival.
The Qingming Festival and the Cold Food Festival are inextricably linked. According to legend, the Cold Food Festival was set up to commemorate the meson push. On the day of the death of Jiezi Tui, Jin Wengong decreed that the people of the world would forbid fire and eat cold food. There is also a very moving story about this -
In the early Spring and Autumn period of the Jin Dynasty, civil unrest was raging. The prince of the Jin Dynasty went abroad to avoid disasters for 19 years, and tasted the hardships of the world. During the turbulent escape, the meson has been following the heavy ear. Once, they were in trouble when they cut off their cooking and starved, and the meson pushed off the meat on his leg to feed his ears.
Later, Zhong'er became the monarch of the Jin dynasty, and was known as the Duke wen of Jin. Jiezi did not ask for merit from Jin Wengong, and was not ashamed to be a vassal with those snobbish people who sought merit, so he took his mother to live in seclusion in Mianshan In present-day Jiexiu County, Shanxi. After Jin Wengong knew, he personally asked the meson to push out the mountain, but the meson pushed it and hid. In order to force him out of the mountain, Jin Wengong ordered the mountain to be burned. Unexpectedly, the meson pushed and kept his will, and eventually died with his mother holding the tree. Wen Gong saw that his heart was distraught, so he buried Jie zhi in Mianshan Mountain, built a temple, and ordered that on the day of Zi Tui's burning death, he would ban fire and cold food to send mourning, and it would become a custom later.
The story of The Story of The Tale of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was first recorded in the Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it really became popular during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, because the "Jin" of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the "Jin" of the Jin State, where the Story of the Meson Tui took place in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, are the same word. However, in the "Records of History" and "Zuo Biao", there is no record of the meson pushing the fire, so this story may belong to the appendix. It's just that people are convinced that the legend of meson push is true, so the custom of banning fire during the Cold Food Festival is widely spread in Jindi. The folk revere Mezi as a god, and also built a Jiegong Temple in Mianshan Mountain, and the incense is exuberant every year. As with most Chinese festival customs, people always want to associate the festival with someone powerful to express good wishes and admiration.
In fact, the source of the cold food festival fire prohibition comes from the folk beliefs of the ancient times. In the pre-Qin period, the ancients believed in astrological superstition and induction sorcery, believing that the spring dragon star appeared in the east and was easy to cause fire, so when the dragon star first appeared in March, the fire was forbidden.
