——Books about Cold Food Festival

The Cold Food Festival originated in Mianshan, Jiexiu, Shanxi, and has a history of 2,640 years (358 years earlier than the Dragon Boat Festival). According to the explanation of "Ciyuan" and "Cihai" for "Cold Food Festival": During the Spring and Autumn Period, after going through hardships and assisting Prince Chong'er of Jin to restore his country, Jie Zitui lived in seclusion in Mianshan, Jiexiu. Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, burned the mountain to force him out, and Zitui and his mother hid themselves and burned themselves. To mourn him, Duke Wen of Jin issued an order that no fire or cold food should be consumed on the anniversary of Zitui's death (later one hundred and fifty days after the winter solstice), thus forming the Cold Food Festival.
The earliest record about the Cold Food Festival originating from the burning of Jie Zitui at the stake in Mianshan, Jiexiu, was found in New Theory, Volume 11, Li Shi, by Huan Tan of the Western Han Dynasty. It was later included in Book of the Later Han, Records of Counties and States, Taiyuan County, Book of the Later Han, Biography of Zhou Ju, Order of Clear Punishment by Cao Cao, Book of Jin, Biography of Shi Le, Water Classic Notes, Fenshui, by Li Daoyuan, Essential Techniques for the People of Qi, Boiling Li Ru, by Zhou Mi of the Southern Song Dynasty, Miscellaneous Notes of Guixin, by Chen Yuanliang of the Yuan Dynasty, and other classics.
Historically, Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival were close to each other, and over time, they were combined into one festival. Tang Hui Yao Volume 82 Holidays clearly records: "On February 11th of the 24th year of Kaiyuan, the imperial edict stated: Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival shall be a four-day holiday. On February 15th of the 13th year of Dali, the imperial edict stated: From now on, Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival shall be a five-day holiday. On March 9th of the 6th year of Zhenyuan, the imperial edict stated: Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival shall be the same as New Year's Day, with three days before and after." Therefore, The Great View of Chinese Traditional Culture states: "By the Tang Dynasty, Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival were combined into one."
