Duke Wen of Jin wanted to burn the mountains to lure him out . "1" During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jie Zitui, a minister of the State of Jin, was loyal and devoted. He once fled abroad with Prince Chong'er of Jin for 19 years.《2》Once Chong'er was trapped in the mountains and had no food for several days. Jie Zitui secretly cut a piece of meat from his own leg and gave it to Chong'er to eat. 《3》Later, Chong'er returned to Jin and ascended the throne as Duke Wen of Jin. He rewarded the ministers who had fled with him one by one according to their merits, but he forgot about Jie Zitui. 《4》 Jie Zitui did not seek credit, thinking that he should leave his master, so he went home, carried his old mother on his back, and lived in seclusion in Mianshan, Jiexiu County, Shanxi Province today. 《5》 The common people of Jin were very dissatisfied with the unfair practices of Duke Wen of Jin, and they composed a song to speak out for Jie Zitui. When Duke Wen of Jin found out, he immediately sent people to look for Jie's house. 《6》 had disappeared long ago, so he came back and reported to Duke Wen of Jin: "I heard that Jie Zitui ran to Mianshan with his old mother on his back." Duke Wen of Jin then sent people to Mianshan to look for him, but they couldn't find him either. 《7》 He knew that Jie Zitui was a filial son, and thought that if he ordered people to set fire to the mountain, Jie Zitui would definitely carry his mother down the mountain. So Duke Wen of Jin ordered the mountain to be burned, and the fire burned for three days and three nights. 《8》But Jie Zitui would rather be burned to death than go down the mountain. After the fire was out, Duke Wen of Jin sent people to check, and they saw that Jie Zitui and his mother were hugging a dead willow tree and had been burned to death. 《9》Duke Wen of Jin regretted his decision so much that he ordered the willow tree to be cut in half. A suicide note from Jie Zitui was found in the cave, in which he hoped that Duke Wen of Jin would govern the country well and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Duke Wen of Jin was even more sad when he saw this. On the anniversary of Jie Zitui's death the following year, he ordered a nationwide ban on fire and took the lead in eating cold food.
