Be self-reliant. ——Historical Origin of Cold Food Festival: 【1】Recommendation: The Cold Food Festival originated to commemorate Jie Zitui (also known as "Jie Zitui", "Jie Tui", "Zitui", etc.), a wise man who was burned to death in the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period. This is the first theory about the origin of the Cold Food Festival proposed in history. According to the existing data, this statement was first seen in "New Theory" by Huan Tan (about 300 BC) during the Han Dynasty. 【2】Fire Change School: The Cold Food Festival is a continuation of the Zhou Dynasty's fire-changing custom, and it is an integral part of the fire-changing custom that has existed since ancient times. Lu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had already put forward the view in "Ye Zhong Ji" that the Cold Food Festival was not established for Jie Zitui. He said (quoted from Volume 5 of Yuzhu Baodian): Common people believe that Jie Zitui was burned to death on May 5th, and people taboo it, so they don't light fire or eat food. This is not true. In the north, people prepare food and drink on May 5th, worship gods in temples, and give five-colored threads and five-colored flowers as gifts. This is not for Zitui. Origin period——Spring and Autumn Period: No fire is lit to cook on Jie Zitui’s death anniversary <br /> The Fire Ban Festival was later transformed into the Cold Food Festival to commemorate Jie Zitui, a famous minister and righteous man of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period.Legend has it that when Duke Wen of Jin was in exile, Jie Zitui cut off his own flesh to feed him. Duke Wen of Jin returned to his country and became a prince, enfeoffed his ministers. However, Jie Zitui refused to accept the reward, so he took his old mother and lived in seclusion in Mianshan. Later, Duke Wen of Jin went to Mianshan in person to invite Jie Zitui, but Jie Zitui was unwilling to be an official. Hiding in the mountains, Duke Wen of Jin's men set fire to the mountain in an attempt to force Jie Zitui to show up. As a result, Jie Zitui was burned to death under a big willow tree while holding his mother. In order to commemorate this loyal and righteous man, Duke Wen of Jin issued an order: on the day of Jie Zitui's death, no fire should be lit to cook, and only cold food should be eaten, which was called the Cold Food Festival. 】Cold Food Festival activities: —— Tomb sweeping, no smoking, ancestor worship, cold food festival, planting willows, outing, kicking football, planting trees, swinging, flower viewing, cockfighting, banquets, poetry recitation, etc. ——giving banquets, appreciating flowers, cockfighting, carving chicken eggs, tug-of-war, drilling wood to make fire, flying kites, fighting with herbs, and throwing clay toys. |
