Friday, April 3, 2020 (March 11, Gengzi Year (Year of the Rat),
25 days away from the Cold Food Festival in the 2020 lunar calendar )
The origin of the Cold Food Festival, according to historical records: During the Spring and Autumn Period, Prince Chong'er of Jin State fled to another country for 19 years to avoid disaster. The minister Jie Zitui followed him all the time and never left him; he even "cut off his own flesh to feed the king."
Chong'er worked hard to govern the country and became a famous monarch known as "Duke Wen of Jin". But Jie Zitui did not seek fame and fortune, and retired to Mianshan with his mother. In order to force him to come out to meet him, Duke Wen of Jin ordered the mountain to be set on fire. Jie Zitui refused to come out and was eventually burned to death.
Duke Wen of Jin was grateful for his loyal minister's determination, so he buried him in Mianshan, built a shrine and a temple for him, and ordered that no fire be burned and only cold food be eaten on the day of Jie Zitui's death to express his grief. This is the origin of the "Cold Food Festival".

——On the customs of Cold Food Festival: Planting willow trees

Willow is a symbol of the Cold Food Festival, originally meant to commemorate Jie Zitui’s pursuit of political clarity.
As early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a record in "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" that "on the Cold Food Day in the Jianghuai area, every family would break willow branches and insert them into the door." In Anhui, Suzhou and other places, it was also popular to wear mustard flowers and wheat leaves instead of willow branches.
According to historical records from various places: "willows are planted on graves", "willow branches are broken off and marked on doors", "willows are planted on eaves, in bedrooms and kitchens", "also worn on the head or tied as a belt", "stored in bottles and offered to Buddha and gods", "willows are planted on doors", so there is a saying among the people that "if you don't wear willows during Qingming (Cold Food Festival), your beauty will turn into white hair".
