The Cold Food Festival is also known as "One Hundred and Five" because it falls 105 days after the winter solstice.
A poem by Su Che of the Song Dynasty, "New Fire", reads: "Yesterday was one hundred and fifty, and the old osmanthus trees were all cold-eating." A poem by Mei Yaochen of the Song Dynasty, "Important Things about Cold-eating on a Journey in the Same Rhyme with Li Sheren", reads: "On the one hundred and fifty-day, the wind and rain were fierce, and the slanting breezes wetted my clothes in the spring countryside."

——Notes on praying for blessings

1. Clothing must be modest, never too revealing or strange, and it is not appropriate to wear slippers or a hat into a temple. These are basic respects for the gods.
2. Avoid loud noises. Although each temple worships different gods, they all hope to purify people's hearts, so your words and actions must be gentle.
3. Prepare 3-5 offerings such as seasonal fruits and biscuits, but they must be odd numbers (because odd numbers are yang numbers). You can also prepare incense, gold paper, etc., depending on the regulations of each temple.
Fruits suitable for worship include apples, peaches, plums, dates, grapefruits, pomelo, oranges, etc.
Fruits that cannot be worshipped include tomatoes, guavas, sugar apples, and durian.
Special attention
1. After attending a funeral or farewell ceremony, you can go to the temple on the same day to remove the bad energy from your body.
2. People with deceased third-degree relatives must wait 49 days before visiting the temple to worship. Otherwise, entering the temple in mourning clothes may violate taboos.
3. The mother must complete the confinement period before she can go to worship.
4. It is best for women not to worship during their menstrual period.
