The festival is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring, and it is a traditional major Spring Festival.

Cold Food Festival, also known as "Smoke-free Festival", "Cold Food Festival" and "Hundred Days Festival", is the only festival named after the dietary customs in the traditional festivals of the Han nationality. According to the definition of modern twenty-four solar terms, the date of Cold Food Festival is from summer to the future 105, the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day. At the beginning of the festival, smoking is forbidden and only cold food is eaten.

Therefore, in some areas, there will be a custom of Purdue on this day, which is called "Purdue in the Central Plains" and later developed into a grand festival called "Magnolia Festival" and "Magnolia Victory Meeting".
