Qingming Festival is also called Ghost Festival. In folk feng shui, children born on Ghost Festival are transformed from wandering ghosts, so people born on Ghost Festival are also called heavenly fetuses.
In some places, people born on Ghost Festival are called Tiantai. It is recorded in ancient books: "The five stars are the spiritual roots of the sun and the moon, the five internal organs of the Tiantai. The heaven and the earth rely on them to gather energy, and the sun and the moon are connected to them for brightness. The True Emperor of the Eastern Suixing is named Chenglan, with the courtesy name Qingning. ... The True Emperor of the Southern Yinghuo is surnamed Haokong, with the taboo name Weichun, and with the courtesy name Sanrong. ... The True Emperor of (the West) Taibai is surnamed Haokong, with the given name Debia. ... The True Emperor of (the North) Chenxing is named Qiqiao, with the courtesy name Jiyuan. ... The True Emperor of (the Center) Zhenxing is named Zangmu, with the courtesy name Danyan." This name can also be found in books such as "Taishang Five Stars and Seven Yuankong Changjue" and "Taishang Feibu Five Star Sutra".
Therefore, people call those born on Ghost Festival "Tiantai". Therefore, people born on this day have good fortune and a smooth life.

Who is Qingming Festival commemorated?

Qingming Festival is around April 5th of the Gregorian calendar every year. The origin of the festival is related to commemorating Jie Zitui.
According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chong'er, the son of Duke Xian of Jin, fled into exile to avoid disaster. During his exile, most of the ministers who had fled with him went their separate ways, leaving only a few loyal people, among whom was Jie Zitui. Once, Chong'er fainted from hunger, and Jie Zitui cut a piece of meat from his own leg, roasted it and gave it to Chong'er to eat. Nineteen years later, Chong'er returned to his country and became the monarch, namely Duke Wen of Jin, one of the famous Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
After Duke Wen of Jin came to power, he rewarded his ministers who had shared his hardships, but he forgot Jie Zitui. Jie Zitui couldn't stand this scene and left quietly. Someone spoke up for Jie Zitui in front of Duke Wen of Jin. Duke Wen of Jin suddenly remembered the old incident and felt guilty. He immediately sent someone to invite Jie Zitui to the court to receive rewards and official titles. However, after sending people several times, Jie Zitui did not come. Duke Wen of Jin had no choice but to go and invite him in person. However, when Duke Wen of Jin arrived at Jie Zitui's home, Jie Zitui had already hidden in Mianshan (now southeast of Jiexiu County, Shanxi) with his mother on his back. Duke Wen of Jin sent people to search the mountain, but still nothing was found.
So, someone came up with an idea and said, why not set fire to the mountain, ignite it on three sides and leave one side, and when the fire started, Jie Zitui would surely come out by himself. Duke Wen of Jin followed his advice. Unexpectedly, the fire burned for three days and three nights, and after it was extinguished, Jie Zitui was nowhere to be found. When they went up the mountain, they found that Jie Zitui and his mother had died hugging a burnt willow tree. Duke Wen of Jin looked at Jie Zitui's body and cried and bowed for a while. When he was ready to bury the body, he discovered that there was a willow tree hole blocked by Jie Zitui's spine, and there seemed to be something in the hole.
When he took it out, he found that it was a piece of clothing with a poem written in blood on it:
I will sacrifice my flesh and blood to serve you with all my heart, and I hope that you will always be clear-headed.
Being a ghost under the willow tree and never being seen is better than being an advisor to the king.
If my lord has me in his heart, he will always reflect on himself when he thinks of me.
I have no regrets in my grave, and I will continue to work diligently and honestly.
Duke Wen of Jin hid the blood letter in his sleeve and built a shrine on the mountain. Duke Wen of Jin also ordered that Mianshan be renamed "Jieshan" in his memory.
Later, Duke Wen of Jin designated the day when he set fire to the mountain as the Cold Food Festival, and announced to the whole country that on this day every year, fireworks were forbidden and only cold food was eaten to commemorate Jie Zitui. The next year, Duke Wen of Jin led his ministers to the mountain to offer sacrifices and discovered that the old willow tree had come back to life. He named the old willow tree "Qingming Willow" and announced to the world that the day after Cold Food Festival should be designated as Qingming Festival.
