The four seas share the same cold food, and one person is eternal. What's the use of holding a deep grudge? There were no neighbors in ancient times. The soul is full of mountains and rivers, and the wind and thunder are gods. Light smoke, elm and willow fire, resentment, dragons and snakes. Unfortunately, Wen Gongba has been responsible for this minister all his life. The poem "Cold Food Festival" written by Lv Xiang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, tells the origin of the Cold Food Festival and "pushes Mianshan to burn me". According to legend, this custom originated from the promotion of the introduction of the Jin State when it commemorates the Spring and Autumn Period (surname introduction promotion, also known as introduction promotion, is a function word, and the son is a respectful name). At that time, Jie Zhitui and Jin Wengong Zhong Er were exiled to other countries, and they cut meat for Wen Gong to satisfy their hunger. After Wen Gong restored the country, he refused to make a profit and retired from Mianshan with his mother. Duke Wen burned the mountain for it, refused to go out of the mountain, and clung to the tree. Duke Wen buried the body in Mianshan, built a shrine and a temple, and ordered the son to ban fire and cold on the day of his death as a sign of mourning, which later became a custom.

In the past, the Spring Festival in China was held at the Cold Food Festival, until it was later changed to Tomb-Sweeping Day. However, the Korean side still retains the tradition of holding the Spring Festival at the Cold Food Festival. Mianshan Mountain in Jiexiu, Shanxi is known as "the hometown of cold food and Qingming culture in China", and a grand sacrifice ceremony of cold food and Qingming is held every year.

The origin of the Cold Food Festival is Mianshan, Jiexiu, Shanxi, with a history of 2640 years (358 years earlier than the Dragon Boat Festival). According to the definition of "Cold Food Festival" in Ci Yuan and Ci Hai, Jiexiu lived in seclusion in Mianshan, Jiexiu during the Spring and Autumn Period after suffering and assisting Zhong Er, the son of Jin Dynasty, to restore the country. Burning the mountain forced him out, but Zitui and his mother disappeared and burned us. In order to mourn him, Jin Wengong ordered that fire and cold food should be banned on the anniversary of his death (after the winter of November 150), thus forming a cold food festival. The Cold Food Festival originated from the record of the burning agent in Mianshan, Jiexiu. It was first seen in Huan Tan's new volume XI Li Xi Shi, and then in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the Biography of Zhou Ju, the Criminal Order of Cao Caoming, the Book of Jin, the Biography of Xerox and the Notes of Li Daoyuan's Water Mirror Fen. In history, the Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival are similar, and over time, they merged into one festival. "Tang Yao Hui Volume 82 Vacation" clearly records: "(Kaiyuan) February 11: Cold food is bright, and the fourth day is a holiday. February 15th, 13th year of Dali: From now on, the cold food will be clear and there will be a five-day holiday. To March 9, the sixth year of Zhenyuan: the cold food is clear, and it is appropriate to celebrate the Yuan Day, and it will be given for three days before and after. " Therefore, "The Grand View of China Traditional Culture" contains: "Roughly in the Tang Dynasty, the Cold Food Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day became one."
