Cold Food Festival Customs - Fire Ban

The Cold Food Festival was also called the "No Smoking Festival" in ancient times. Every family was forbidden to light fire and everyone ate cold food. However, due to the Chinese people's persistent feeling of commemorating the ancient sages, it was banned and revived repeatedly from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty recognized and participated in it.
The line "Let's try the new tea with the new fire" in Su Shi's "Wang Jiangnan from Chaoran Terrace" refers to the poet's act of making tea after the Cold Food Festival.
In Shanxi, the custom of banning fire during the Cold Food Festival is mostly one day, and only a few places still have the custom of banning fire for three days.

——Why do we plant willows on Cold Food Festival?

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".
