No flowers, no wine, crystal clear, and the taste is bleak like a wild monk.
Flowers are flying everywhere in the spring city, and the east wind is cold and the willows are oblique. At dusk, candles were passed in the Han Palace, and light smoke was scattered into the Wuhou Mansion.
Allusion: According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jin Xiangong's concubine Li Ji set a poisonous trap to kill Prince Shen Sheng, and Shen Sheng was forced to commit suicide. Shen Sheng's younger brother, Zhong Er, went into exile to avoid disaster. During his exile, Zhong Er suffered humiliation. Most courtiers who fled with him fled one after another. There are only a few loyal people left, who have been following him. Zhong Er fainted from hunger. In order to save Zhong Er, Jiexiu cut a piece of meat from his thigh, cooked it with fire and gave it to Zhong Er. Nineteen years later, Zhong Er returned to China and became a monarch. This is Jin Wengong, one of the five famous tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period.
After Jin Wengong came to power, in addition to meson push, he gave many rewards to courtiers who shared weal and woe with him. Someone shouted meson push foul in front of Jin Wengong. Jin Wengong suddenly remembered the past and felt guilty. He immediately sent someone to ask meson to push to the court to be rewarded as an official. However, after several trips, the meson could not push him. Jin Wengong had to ask him himself. However, when Jin Wengong came to meson tuijia, he had to ask him. I have been hiding behind my mother's back in Mianshan (now southeast of Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province). Jin Wengong asked his guards to search Mianshan, but they couldn't find it. So, someone came up with an idea and said, it is better to let Yamakaji catch fire on three sides and leave one side. When it is on fire, the meson pusher will come out by itself. Jin Wengong ordered Yamakaji, but the fire burned for three days and nights. After the fire went out, the meson was not pushed out after all. Looking up the mountain, meson pushed his mother and son to hold a charred willow tree, already dead. Jin Wengong looked at meson's body, cried for a while, and then buried the body. He found that the back of meson push was blocked by a willow hole, and there seemed to be something in the hole. He took it out and saw that it was a skirt with a blood poem on it:
I hope your master is always clear.
It is better to be a ghost of Liu Xia than to accompany you as an admonition officer.
If you have me in your heart, remember my introspection.
I have a clear conscience in Jiuquan, diligent and honest.
Jin Wengong hid the bloody book in his sleeve, and then buried Jietui and his mother under the charred willow tree. In order to commemorate Jiexiu, Jin Wengong ordered Mianshan to be changed to Jiexiu Mountain, and an ancestral temple was built on the mountain, and the date of Yamakaji's return was designated as the Cold Food Festival, informing the whole country that it was forbidden to set off fireworks and firecrackers on this day every year, and only cold food was eaten.
When he left, he cut a charred willow and made a pair of clogs in the palace. Every day he looks at it and sighs, "It's a pity to take the first step." "The first step" is an ancient name for subordinates who respect each other between superiors and peers, which is said to come from it.
The following year, Jin Wengong led his ministers to pay homage on foot in plain clothes to express their condolences. Before going to the grave, he saw the dead old willow tree resurrected, and thousands of green branches danced in the wind. Jin Wengong looked at the resurrected old willow, as if he saw a meson push. He approached respectfully, lovingly squeezed a branch, braided a circle and put it on his head. After the sacrifice, Jin Wengong named the resurrected old willow "Qingming".
Later, Jin Wengong often took a bloody book with him as a souvenir, urging him to take power. He is diligent and studious, and makes great efforts to govern.
The people of the state of Jin can live and work in peace and contentment from now on, and they miss those who have made meritorious deeds without seeking wealth. On the day he died, it was forbidden to set off fireworks to commemorate his death. Flour and jujube paste were also used to make him look like a swallow, and wicker was strung and inserted on the door to summon his soul. This thing is called "Xietuiyan" (Xietui is also called Xietui). Since then, cold food and Tomb-Sweeping Day have started. In the south, there are mostly green balls, glutinous rice and sugar lotus roots. Every time I go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, people put wicker in a circle and put wicker branches in front of the house to show their memory.
