Who is the Winter Food Festival for
The Cold Food Festival is in honor of Jie Zi Tui.
Jie Zitui is a native of the Jin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and has the deeds of "cutting shares and serving the king" and "hugging the tree and dying" in history, and the origin of the festival of the Cold Food Festival comes from its deeds of "seclusion without words". The monarch at that time, Chong'er, set fire to the mountain in order to force Jie Zi to push out the mountain, and as a result, Jie Zi Tui and his mother were burned alive. The monarch felt very guilty, so he ordered the people to cease fire for one day every year on this day, and the "Cold Food Festival" also came from this.
Meson pushes the story.
1. Cutting stocks to satisfy hunger: In the early years, when the monarch fled with heavy ears, he often did not have enough food and clothing. One year, Chong'er fled to Weiguo and was stolen by a man. Chong'er had no food and was hungry, so in order to keep Chong'er alive, Jie Zitui cut a piece of meat from his leg for Chong'er to eat.
2, resignation is not a word: After nineteen years of fugitive career, Chong'er suddenly changed from a fugitive to Jin Wengong, when the Zhou room was in turmoil, Jie Zitui did not take the initiative to ask for a reward, but was abused by some people who did not flee with Jin Wengong. Jie Zitui was very angry because of this, and then lived in seclusion in Mianshan and became a hermit who did not eat Junlu.
3, hugging the tree and dying: Jie Zitui refused to be rewarded, which made Jin Wengong feel ungrateful and quickly sent someone to summon Jie Zitui to accept the seal, only to know that he had hidden in Mianshan. Jin Wengong begged people's hearts, listened to the villain's words, and ordered the mountain to be burned on three sides. Unexpectedly, the fire burned for three days, and the shadow of Jie Zitui was not seen. In the end, the corpses of Jie Zitui's mother and son were found under a tree, which made Jin Wengong regret it.
What day is the Cold Food Festival: one or two days before the Qingming Festival.
The Cold Food Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is held on the 105th day after the winter solstice in the summer calendar and one or two days before the Qingming Festival. At the beginning of the day, no smoking and only cold food is eaten. And in the development of later generations, the customs such as sacrificial sweeping, stepping on the green, swinging, juju, hooking, cockfighting, etc., stretched for more than 2,000 years before and after the cold food festival, and was once known as the first major festival day of Chinese folk. The Cold Food Festival is the only festival named after the food customs among the traditional festivals of the Han nationality.
