Introduction to the origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day;
In the historical development, Tomb-Sweeping Day has merged into the custom of forbidding fire and cold food in the popular cold food festival in the northern region. According to legend, the Cold Food Festival was established in the Spring and Autumn Period to commemorate the Jiexiu, a loyal minister of the State of Jin. Although it is related to Jie tui in folklore, the origin of cold food is not to commemorate Jie tui, but to follow the old habit of changing fires in ancient times, that is, as Zhou Li said, "In mid-spring, wooden cribs are used to repair fires in rural areas."
The Cold Food Festival is an early festival in ancient times, spreading in the Central Plains of northern China. At the beginning of the Cold Food Festival, no smoking is allowed, only cold food is eaten. In the later development, the customs of sweeping graves, swinging, cuju, holding hooks and fighting cocks were gradually increased. Because of the cold in the north and the rising temperature in spring and March, it is time to change the fire, so people should ban the fire before the new fire comes.
The Han Dynasty called the Cold Food Festival a no-smoking festival, because people were not allowed to light a fire on this day, and candles were lit in the palace at night, and the fire spread to the homes of dignitaries. According to the records of the later Han Dynasty, the first cold food festival lasted for a long time, the longest being 105 days and the shortest being 1 month. No fire is allowed in the Cold Food Festival, only raw food is allowed, which is bad for people's health.
