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".

What should you pay attention to when sweeping tombs?

Notes on tomb sweeping: No laughing, no yelling
Because the cemetery is the home of ghosts, you should not step over the tombs and offerings, make loud noises, laugh, curse, use foul language, run around, or urinate anywhere. Doing so is not only disrespectful to your ancestors, but also constitutes a nuisance to nearby spirits.
Notes on tomb sweeping: Do not take photos at the ancestral graves
Ancestor worship is not just about commemorating ancestors, but it also clearly carries the meaning of worshiping and praying to the dead souls.
A special reminder to friends: be cautious when taking photos at your ancestors’ graves, whether it is a photo of the tomb-sweepers themselves or a photo of the tomb-sweepers and the graveyard. It is even more taboo to take photos of other graves.
Notes on tomb sweeping: trimming the grass on the grave
If you find a broken tombstone or plants growing on the grave during tomb sweeping, you should immediately repair and clean up the unearthed plants, especially not letting the plants grow into trees, otherwise, it will cause serious harm to the living!
