2. 4 things to remind everyone.
1.Insert willows and wear willows to commemorate the ancestors.
Qingming Festival, this solemn day, spreads a custom of folding willows, wearing willows, and inserting willows, and its origin is closely connected with a great soul - Jie Zitui. Jie Zitui, in order to stick to his faith and loyalty, did not hesitate to burn himself under the big willow tree, his bravery and determination, so that Jin Wengong and thousands of people were moved and saddened.
Time passes, and it is another year of Qingming. Duke Wen of Jin took his ministers and stepped on the top of the mountain to worship the immortal hero. They were amazed to find that the old willow tree, which had been burned by the fire, had miraculously come back to life and was full of life. At that moment, Jin Wengong was deeply touched, and he decided to name this willow tree "Qingming Willow", and personally broke off a few tender green willow branches and put them on his head, in order to express his deep nostalgia for Jie Zitui.
This move, like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, quickly spread among the ministers and the people, and became a tradition and a fashion. They have followed suit, folding willows, wearing willows, and inserting willows, in order to commemorate Jie Zitui, and at the same time, they also entrust their yearning for a better life, praying for smooth weather and abundant harvests.
As a result, the custom of inserting willows and wearing willows has been handed down in this way and has become an indispensable part of the Qingming Festival. It is not only a deep commemoration of the great ancestor of Jie Zitui, but also people's beautiful expectations for future life, awe and gratitude for nature.
