At the end of spring, Liu Xufei is everywhere in Chang 'an, and the east wind blows willow branches in the imperial garden at the Cold Food Festival. As night fell, the palace was busy handing out candles, and smoke curled into the homes of princes and nobles.

Creation background
Cold Food Festival is a traditional festival in ancient China, which usually takes place from winter to the day after 105 and two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day. The ancients attached great importance to this festival. According to the custom, every family banned fire and only ate ready-made food, hence the name cold food. In the system of the Tang Dynasty, on Qingming Day, the emperor announced that he would take the fire of elms and willows as a reward for his recent ministers to show his gratitude. This ceremony has two purposes:
First, it marks the end of the Cold Food Festival and can be used for fire;
The second is to remind courtiers and officials, so that everyone can learn from mesons who have made meritorious deeds but not rewarded, and work diligently for the people. In fact, Dou Shu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem entitled "Making a Fire at the Cold Food Festival": "Grateful for the light and small officials, the lights are on at the beginning of spring. The film follows the ambassador and the stars shine on passers-by. Fortunately, the willows are warm and the grass is poor. " You can use this poem of Han Yi for reference.
After the mid-Tang Dynasty, several bad emperors were partial to eunuchs, so that they were in power, corrupted the court affairs and excluded courtiers. The upright people were extremely indignant about this. Some people think that this poem was written for this purpose.
