——On the cultural significance of Cold Food Festival

Historically, the Cold Food Festival activities have evolved from mainly commemorating Jie Zitui's ban on smoking and eating cold food to mainly worshiping ancestors. The concepts of loyalty, filial piety and honesty embodied in the festival are fully in line with the traditional moral core of ancient China, which required loyalty as a state and filial piety as a family, and have become an important carrier of family harmony and social stability. In modern times, Cold Food Festival has become an important form of commemorating revolutionary martyrs and educating young people.
At the same time, every Cold Food Festival, compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese return to their hometowns to sweep tombs and pay homage to their ancestors. It has become an important festival to inherit the ancestral culture of the Chinese nation and embody national identity and cohesion.
The ancient ancestors' insistence on banning smoking and eating cold food during the Cold Food Festival expressed their remembrance of the unswerving loyalty of the eternal sage Jie Zitui.
There are dozens of kinds of food and drinks during the Cold Food Festival, most of which have profound meanings. For example, when offering sacrifices, there is a saying in Jiexiu that "snake coiled around rabbit will surely bring wealth", which means hoping for a prosperous country and strong people; when offering sacrifices, noodles are served, which means in Jiexiu dialect to educate future generations to "never forget" the noble character of Jie Gong. Planting willow trees on the Cold Food Festival represents the pursuit of political clarity.
In Yuan Dynasty drama, modern Peking opera, Shanxi opera, contemporary Shanxi opera, and Ming Dynasty novels, there are many special repertoires and chapters about Jie Zitui and the Cold Food Festival. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, legends, stories and inscriptions about Jie Zitui have become important historical materials for studying Shanxi folk literature and epigraphy.
