On his way, he came to an uninhabited place, where he was so tired and hungry that he no longer had the strength to stand up. The attendants searched for a long time but could not find anything to eat. Just when everyone was extremely anxious, the attendant Jie Zitui went to a secluded place, cut a piece of meat from his own thigh, cooked a bowl of broth and gave it to the prince to drink. Chong'er gradually regained his spirit. When Chong'er found out that the meat was cut from Jie Zitui's own leg, he shed tears. Nineteen years later, Chong'er became the king, known as Duke Wen of Jin in history. After ascending the throne, Duke Wen generously rewarded the meritorious officials who had accompanied him in exile, but he forgot Jie Zitui. Many people felt sorry for Jie Zitui and advised him to ask the emperor for reward. However, Jie Zitui despised those who sought rewards the most. He packed his luggage and quietly went to live in seclusion in Mianshan with his mother. When Duke Wen of Jin heard about it, he was so ashamed that he took people to invite Jie Zitui himself. However, Jie Zitui had already left for Mianshan. Mianshan is high and the roads are dangerous with dense trees, so it is not easy to find two people. Someone suggested burning Mianshan from three sides to force Jie Zitui out. The fire burned all over Mianshan, but there was no sign of Jie Zitui. After the fire was extinguished, people found that Jie Zitui, who was carrying his old mother on his back, had died sitting under an old willow tree. Duke Wen of Jin cried bitterly when he saw this. To commemorate Jie Zitui, Duke Wen of Jin ordered that this day be designated as "Cold Food Festival." The next year, Duke Wen of Jin led his ministers to the mountain to offer sacrifices and found that the old willow tree had come back to life. He then named the old willow tree "Qingming Willow" and announced it to the world. So, the day after Cold Food Festival was designated as "Qingming Festival".How much do you know about Qingming Festival?Chinese name: Qingming Festival Foreign name: Tomb-Sweeping DayOther names: Outing Festival, Qingming Festival, March Festival, Ancestor Worship Festival Festival time: Dipper points to Yi, the sun's ecliptic longitude is 15°, around April 5th in the Gregorian calendar Festival type: Chinese traditional festivals Popular areas China, East Asia, Southeast Asia and other places where overseas Chinese gather Festival origin: Ganzhi calendar, primitive beliefs, sacrificial culture Festival activities: outings, tomb sweeping and ancestor worship Festival food: ancestor worship golden pig, fresh fruit tea, etc. Festival significance: pay homage to ancestors and get close to nature Setting location: China Previous solar term: Spring Equinox Next solar term: Grain Rain Mountain worship process: clearing weeds, placing tributes, worship, setting off firecrackers Intangible cultural heritage protection unit: Ministry of Culture and Tourism |
