Let's talk about the origin of the Qingming Festival

Today is the Qingming holiday, so while busy worshipping ancestors, I also miss the historical sages... Muon push.

The Qingming Festival originated in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. After Qingming, the temperature rises, and it is also a good season for spring plowing and sowing. Later, the Qingming Festival and the Cold Food Festival were close, and the Cold Food Festival was a day of fire ban. The Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival are combined into one. The Cold Food Festival has become an important custom during the Qingming Festival. On the day of Qingming, do not use fireworks and eat cold food.

Because of the Qingming Festival, there was a three-day holiday. The busy and wandering figure finally had a moment to stay.

As the saying goes, a year is clear, and a year old is a remembrance.

Literati and writers also took advantage of this day to express their condolences to their deceased wives.

For example, Su Dongpo, who was from the eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties, was nineteen years old and met and fell in love with sixteen-year-old Wang Fu. However, destiny is impermanent. Wang Fu finished his life at the age of twenty-seven. Wang Fu's death dealt a heavy blow to Su Dongpo. For a loved one, the sudden departure of the mental pain, words are indescribable. Ten years later, Su Dongpo dreamed of his late wife, came to his wife's lonely grave and wrote: "Ten years of life and death are boundless, I don't think about it, and I can't forget it." "This body is like a house, where is my hometown."

Nalan Xingde and Lu met, and the two were married for three years, and Lu died. The helplessness of life and separation is already full of tears, and the farewell of death is even more heartbreaking. Nalan Xingde sang: "People are affectionate and thin, but now they are really not affectionate." When I went to the place where I looked back at my broken intestines, I stole zero tears. ”

It is said that the origin of Qingming and the Cold Food Festival is because in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were three masters... Jie Zitui, Wu Zixu and Guan Zhong.

Jie Zi pushes loyalty, Wu Zixu is patriotic, Guan Zhong is patriotic and loyal. Since today is the Qingming Festival, I will focus on meson-tui. Because of the meson push, there is the Cold Food Festival and Qingming. Seeing a joke, Qu Yuan said, it's not me jumping into the Miluo River, you can eat zongzi and watch dragon boating. You can enjoy the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

Jin Wengong also said ashamedly: "If the widow didn't set fire to the mountain at the beginning, how could you enjoy cold food and Qingming." ”

Jie Zitui said aggrievedly: "When you worship your ancestors, don't forget to pay tribute to me!" ”

The topic is far away, and it is not right to say that the sages are like this.

Jie Zitui was a native of the Jin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was deeply missed by future generations because of the feat of cutting shares and serving the monarch and living in seclusion. According to legend, when Chong'er, the prince of the Jin Kingdom, was exiled to other countries, he almost starved to death. Jie Zitui cut a piece of meat, cooked it and gave it to him to eat. Nineteen years later, Chong'er returned to China to succeed to the throne, and this person was Duke Wen of Jin. After Duke Wen of Jin succeeded to the throne, those who shared his suffering were rewarded. I only forgot to cut the shares of Fengjun's meson push. Later, Duke Wen of Jin accidentally remembered Jie Zitui, so he sent someone to invite him to come out and be rewarded as a big official. However, I don't know what Jie Zitui thought at the time, but he didn't want to come out and be rewarded as a big official, so he couldn't resign after repeated excuses. Duke Wen of Jin became the monarch of the Jin State, and he was majestic, and the vassal states also had to look at his face. However, Jie Zitui's refusal made him feel that he couldn't hold his face. I don't know what the reason is, Jin Wengong actually put down his body and decided to invite him in person.

Jie Zitui knew what kind of person Jin Wengong was, and he also knew that he had disobeyed the king's orders. Now that the king has come to invite him personally, he can't say no. After thinking about it, Jie Zi had to hide in the mountains.

Jin Wengong came to Jie Zitui's house and pounced on the air, but he still didn't give up. When Duke Wen of Jin heard that Jie Zitui had taken his mother into the mountains, he hurriedly sent several groups of people to search the mountains. The mountains are vast, and it is not easy to find someone. Several waves of people went in before and after, but no trace of meson push was found.

Jin Wengong was angry and scolded: "Jie Zitui doesn't know what to do. When he comes out, the widow must ask him well. ”

However, how can the meson push out of the mountain?

Jin Wengong listened to the opinions of his subordinates and asked people to set fire to the mountain, and the fire continued for three days and three nights. After the fire, Jin Wengong saw that Jie Zitui and his mother still did not come out of the mountain. Later, I learned that Jie Zitui and his mother were holding a large willow tree and had been burned to death in that fire. Jin Wengong was impressed by the noble integrity of Jie Zitui's 'rich and poor cannot be lewd, and mighty cannot be bent'. Duke Wen of Jin personally buried Jie Zitui and his mother under the willow tree, and built a temple for them to enjoy the fireworks. Jin Wengong also set fire to the day of the mountain, there will be a cold food festival. Tell the people of the whole country that fireworks are prohibited on this day, and they can only eat cold food.

During the reign of Duke Wen of Jin, he governed the Jin State very well. The people of the Jin Kingdom live and work in peace and contentment, and they miss Jie Zitui very much for his meritorious work and wealth and wealth. On the day of Qingming Festival, everyone prohibits fireworks, eats cold food, and inserts wicker in front of and behind the house to show nostalgia.
