In early spring, the climate is dry, and not only are the fires kept by people prone to fires, but spring thunder can also easily cause forest fires.The ancients would hold grand sacrificial activities during this season and extinguish all the fires passed down from the previous year, which was called "fire ban". Then they would drill new fires as the starting point of production and life in the new year, which was called "changing fire" or "asking for new fire". When changing the fire, a grand sacrificial ceremony is held, during which symbols of the grain god Ji are burned, which is called human sacrifice. This custom was passed down and later became the Fire Ban Festival. There was a time interval between the ban on fire and the change of fire, and historical records have different estimates of three days, five days, seven days, etc. During this period without fire, people had to prepare enough cooked food to survive the day with cold food, which was called "Cold Food", hence the name "Cold Food Festival". The Cold Food Festival has lasted for more than two thousand years and is known as the largest festival among the people. ——Cold Food Festival Customs: Planting WillowsWillow is a symbol of the Cold Food Festival, originally meant to commemorate Jie Zitui’s pursuit of political clarity.As early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a record in "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" that "on the Cold Food Day in the Jianghuai area, every family would break willow branches and insert them into the door." In Anhui, Suzhou and other places, it was also popular to wear mustard flowers and wheat leaves instead of willow branches. According to historical records from various places: "willows are planted on graves", "willow branches are broken off and marked on doors", "willows are planted on eaves, in bedrooms and kitchens", "also worn on the head or tied as a belt", "stored in bottles and offered to Buddha and gods", "willows are planted on doors", so there is a saying among the people that "if you don't wear willows during Qingming (Cold Food Festival), your beauty will turn into white hair".
