Hui Niang asked her husband Cai Mo to learn papermaking. Cai Mo was Cai Lun's brother, but he was not very skilled and the quality of the paper he made was very poor. In order to expand the business, Hui Niang came up with an idea. One night, Hui Niang pretended to die of illness.

Can we only eat cold food during Cold Food Festival?The origin of the Cold Food Festival should be the fire worship of ancient humans. The life of the ancients could not be separated from fire, but fire often caused great disasters to mankind, so the ancients believed that fire had a spirit and they had to worship fire. The fire that each family worships must be extinguished once a year. Then relighting a new fire is called changing the fire. When changing the fire, a grand ceremony of ancestor worship is held, during which symbols of the grain god Ji are burned, which is called human sacrifice. This custom was passed down and later became the Fire Ban Festival.Poems about Cold Clothes Festival Seven-character quatrain: Cold Clothes Festival The sky is getting darker with blue smoke rising as the sun sets, and there are traces of fire everywhere on the road.
