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. 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 ziti, 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 discovered that the old willow tree had come back to life. He named the old willow tree "Qingming Willow" and announced to the world that the day after Cold Food Festival should be designated as Qingming Festival. What should you pay attention to when choosing the color of flowers for tomb sweeping during the Qingming Festival?The flowers used for Qingming Festival are mostly tied into bouquets. The color elements of the flowers are light, mainly white, supplemented by yellow, and dotted with purple. The flowers that make up the Qingming Festival bouquet can be selected from the following: calla lily, carnation, gladiolus, chrysanthemum, cosmos, rose, forget-me-not, etc.The flowers used for tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival are mainly to express a feeling of nostalgia. The color of the flowers is mainly white, such as white lilies, white calla lilies, white or yellow roses, with white and yellow interlaced, and a few purple forget-me-nots added. Such a bouquet of flowers, placed in front of the grave of a loved one, expresses deep longing. There is no need to deliberately pursue the meaning of flowers used during Qingming Festival.
