Tomb-Sweeping Day, which means clear and bright in Chinese, is April 5th this year. It is not only the fifth semester of the traditional lunar calendar, but also a festival to hold a memorial ceremony for the dead. This is a moment to express grief over the loss of loved ones. An ancient elegy describes a sad woman, who was read in vain, and vines and weeds spread in the cemetery, where her husband slept alone. For her, it is as unbearable as summer during the day and winter at night. And her only wish is to be reunited with him after death.
People often go to sweep graves and weed with their families, and also go for a walk in the countryside. In the Tang Dynasty, people formed the habit of traveling on this day. At this time, spring came back and dominated the earth again. The air is filled with the feeling of life growth, the sap is rising on the tree and the buds are blooming. The willow branches inserted on each gate add vitality and vitality to the surrounding area. But it actually means more. This custom can be traced back to more than 1000 years ago.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, a son of the King of Jin was named Zhong Er. A concubine, jealous of his talent, falsely accused him of rebellion and made her son a crown prince. He had no choice but to run away, along with some officials. They hid in a mountain and were hungry for a long time. An official named meson tui, with great effort, cut some meat from his thigh and gave it to Zhong Er. When this fact was known, the young host was moved to tears and knelt down to express his gratitude. Jie replied that his best reward should be a just king. They lived in hunger and cold for three years until their evil concubine died. Many soldiers were sent to look for him and escort him home. Entering the carriage, he saw an official wrapping an old mat on a horse. He smiled and said, "What's the use of this?" "Throw it away!" After listening to this, meson sighed,' We can share weal and woe with you, but we can't share wealth.' So he left quietly and lived in seclusion with his old mother.
When Zhong Er became king, he rewarded many people, but he forgot to recommend mesons. He didn't realize it until someone reminded him. However, his invitation was rejected and he flew into a rage. The soldiers were ordered to burn the mountain to force the outstanding people to come. Finally, they found Jay and his mother under the charred willow tree. He would rather die than give in to power. Zhong Er was filled with remorse and ordered a memorial service for Jie. Therefore, on this day every year, people mourn for him, eat cold rice the day before and avoid making a fire. Later, the custom of inserting willow branches on the door was added.

" After listening to this, the meson sighed, "It is difficult to separate your majesty from prosperity." So he lived in seclusion with his old mother.
As for Zhong Er's accession to the throne, he gave it to many people, but forgot to recommend it. He didn't realize it until someone reminded him.
