The smoke is getting dusk, and the road fires are everywhere. Send to the dead, burn all the money, and you will miss your family coldly.
2. Five-character Cold Clothes Festival
There are two boundaries between you and Ming, and cold and warm are always sad. Burn paper everywhere and send cold clothes to every family. Smoke rises in the vastness and leaves into the clouds.
The old look should be unforgettable. Who asked Lao Qu?
3. The Four Wonders, Darkness and Sadness
The new horse cut out the brocade makeup and knelt down to the southwest. An old friend, Quancheng didn't wait, and sent paper money to Guicheng.
4. "Four musts, send sorrow"
I owe it to my family to send warm clothes to the streets tonight. Suddenly, I recalled the real estate business in the world, and I will send my sadness with me.
The first day of October in the lunar calendar is also the first day of winter. Since then, the weather has become colder and colder, and people are afraid that the ancestors of the underworld are short of clothes and clothes. Therefore, when people sacrifice, they incinerate their burial clothes to their ancestors, which is called "sending cold clothes".
About the origin of the Cold Clothes Festival, it is said that Meng Jiangnu initiated it. According to legend, after Qin Shihuang unified China, he decided to build the Great Wall of Wan Li in order to resist the invasion of northern minorities. Because of this great project, the Great Wall was forced to take young people from all over the country to repair it. Fan Qiliang, Meng Jiangnv's husband, is also one of the young people who built the Great Wall.
After Fan Qiliang left, her parents died soon, and Meng Jiangnv was alone at home. Finally, she took her own hand-sewn clothes and begged to go to the north to find her husband. After arriving at the Great Wall, her husband Fan Qiliang was exhausted at the construction site.
When Meng Jiangnu saw this scene, she was like a bolt from the blue, crying her eyes out. It can be said that she felt earth-shaking and earth-shattering, but she cried a lot about the Great Wall that had just been repaired. Later, she was afraid that her husband would catch cold in the underworld, so she burned (took away) her clothes and buried the ashes with her husband's bones. She was extremely weak with grief and soon died with her husband.
Later generations were moved by her thousands of miles to find her husband, crying down the Great Wall and being faithful. Many places built temples, monuments and objects for her to commemorate and remember her, praising her true feelings, kindness, chastity and spirit. With the passage of time, people set the day of "burning clothes and burying husbands" as the Cold Clothes Festival to mourn the dead.
