When is the Cold Clothes Festival in 2019?2019 Winter Clothes Festival Date Query:Lunar calendar: October 1, 2019 Gregorian calendar: Monday, October 28, 2019 The origin of the Cold Clothes Festival: Meng Jiangnu sent winter clothes thousands of miles away According to legend, during the Qin Dynasty, the Meng and Jiang families in Songjiang Prefecture in Jiangnan had a daughter while growing gourds. She was named Meng Jiangnu and married to Fan Qiliang. Later, Qi Liang was captured and forced to build the Great Wall in the northern border. Meng Jiangnu traveled thousands of miles to find her husband and give him winter clothes. When she arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, she found that her husband had died and was buried inside the wall. Meng Jiangnu was filled with grief and indignation. She cried towards the Great Wall day and night. Finally, she moved heaven and earth so much that her tears collapsed the Great Wall, revealing her husband's body. For thousands of years, this story of loyal love has been widely circulated. After Meng Jiangnu cried down the 800-li Great Wall, she confronted Qin Shihuang face to face, avenged her husband and vented her anger. Finally, she jumped into the sea with her husband's remains in her arms and died with him. At the moment of jumping into the sea, the waves surged and slowly arched up two reefs. It is said that Jiangnu's tomb on the sea can never be submerged no matter how high the tide is. Because of the story of Meng Jiangnu who traveled thousands of miles to find her husband and send him winter clothes, the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is called "Cold Clothes Festival" both inside and outside the Great Wall. "Burning winter clothes on the first day of October" has long become a custom in the north to pay tribute to deceased relatives. The same grain of gold may have the same fate but different fortunes. Some gold will be buried forever in the sand and will never be discovered. This is what is called good fate and bad fortune. So how can you understand your own destiny?
