On the Development and Evolution of Qingming Festival

Qingming Festival is a major spring festival of the Chinese nation. Corresponding to the Qingming spring festival is the Chongyang autumn festival. The two spring and autumn festivals have existed since ancient times.
The Chinese nation has had the custom of respecting ancestors and remembering their ancestors since ancient times. Qingming Festival has a long history. It has changed with the development of the times and gradually merged the customs of Cold Food Festival and Shangsi Festival.
In ancient times, customs in the north and south of my country were different. Before the Tang Dynasty, tomb sweeping in northern my country was mainly done during the Cold Food Festival and the Cold Clothes Festival.
According to the records in "The Book of Rites" and other documents, there was no custom of visiting tombs and offering sacrifices on Qingming Festival in northern my country before the Tang Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, visiting tombs and offering sacrifices on Qingming Festival had become a custom.
The Tang Dynasty was a period when tomb-worshiping customs from all over my country's north and south merged. The Qingming tomb-worshiping customs were continued and expanded to all parts of the country. After the Tang Dynasty, the Cold Food Festival gradually declined because it was close to the Qingming Festival. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, Qingming Festival rose to the status of replacing Cold Food Festival, and incorporated customs of Cold Food Festival such as banning fire and eating cold food.
The Qingming Festival, which combines the customs of the two festivals, Cold Food Festival and Shangsi Festival, took shape in the Song and Yuan dynasties as a festival centered on ancestor worship and tomb sweeping, integrating the customs of banning fire and eating cold food of the Cold Food Festival with customs such as Shangsi outing. Since the customs of banning fire and eating cold food of the Cold Food Festival were moved to the Qingming Festival, some places in northern my country still retain the habit of banning fire and eating cold food on the Qingming Festival.
The Ming and Qing dynasties generally inherited the old systems of the previous dynasties, and Qingming Festival still maintained and developed its status as an indispensable festival in spring life.
During the Republic of China period, on the Qingming Festival, in addition to the original customs of tomb sweeping and outing, tree planting was also designated as a regular event. This was actually just an official recognition of the long-standing folk custom of planting trees. Qingming Festival Customs: Planting Trees
Around the Qingming Festival, the spring sun shines and the spring rain falls, so the survival rate of planted seedlings is high and they grow fast. Therefore, there is a custom of planting trees on Qingming Festival, and some people even call Qingming Festival "Tree Planting Day". The custom of planting trees has been passed down to this day. The custom of planting trees on Qingming Festival is said to have originated from the custom of wearing willows and planting willows on Qingming Festival.
There are three legends about wearing willows and planting willows on Qingming Festival.
The first legend is that it is said to commemorate Shennong, the ancestor who taught people how to farm. Later, it developed into a meaning of praying for longevity.
The second legend is related to Jie Zitui. It is said that when Duke Wen of Jin led his ministers to the mountain to pay tribute to Jie Zitui, they found that the old willow tree that Jie Zitui had leaned on before his death had come back to life, so they named the old willow tree "Qingming Willow".
The third legend is that Emperor Taizong of Tang gave willow wreaths to his ministers as a sign of blessing and to ward off epidemics.
