What is the origin of Cold Clothes Festival?It was derived from the winter welcoming rituals of the pre-Qin period.According to the Book of Rites, the tenth month of the lunar calendar is the month of the beginning of winter. On this day, the emperor led the three dukes and nine ministers to the northern suburbs to hold a winter welcoming ceremony. After the ceremony, they returned to reward those who died for the country and provide relief to their wives and children. How can the dead be rewarded? "Sending winter clothes" to them should be the natural consequence of the reward, and this practice will be followed by others and become a custom. However, this view can only remain at the level of inference, because the records of Chinese people "burning and offering" "funeral clothes, boots, shoes, mats, hats, and pieces of clothing" on the first day of October did not appear until the Song Dynasty in the local customs records of literati. If it is said that the Cold Clothes Festival was formed in the pre-Qin period, it would be difficult to give a reasonable explanation for the blank records for such a long period of time. Therefore, some people infer that the formation of the Cold Clothes Festival custom could not be earlier than the Song Dynasty. Legend of Zhu Yuanzhang "giving away clothes" <br /> The tenth month of the lunar calendar was an important month in ancient times. It was the time when rice was harvested and stored in warehouses. "In this month, the emperor began to wear furs" (Book of Rites, Monthly Ordinances). The emperor used the ceremony of wearing winter clothes to inform the common people that winter had come. According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing in the early Ming Dynasty. In order to show that he was in compliance with the will of heaven, he held a morning court on the first day of October, performed the "clothing-granting" ceremony, and made a hot soup with freshly harvested red beans and glutinous rice for his ministers to taste. A Nanjing folk proverb says: "In the morning of October, wear a cotton-padded jacket and eat bean soup to keep out the cold." "Cold Clothes Festival" came from this. While people are putting on more clothes to keep out the cold, they are also sending winter clothes to those who are guarding the border, doing business, or studying far away from home to show their concern and care. Meng Jiangnu Delivers Winter Clothes A Thousand Miles Away<br /> According to legend, during the Qin Dynasty, the Meng and Jiang families in Songjiang Prefecture in Jiangnan planted gourds and gave birth to a daughter, named Meng Jiangnu, who married 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. |
