A diary describing Qingming Festival

The diary describing the Qingming Festival is as follows:

The Qingming Festival is also called the Outing Festival. The day before it is the Cold Food Festival. Next, let’s talk about the origin of the Qingming Festival.

It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Prince Chong'er of Jin Dynasty fled abroad to escape persecution. During his exile, he was tired and hungry and could no longer stand up. At this time, the minister Jie Zitui cut off a piece of meat from his thigh and cooked a bowl of soup for the young master to drink. When Chong'er found out, he shed tears.

After Chong'er became the king, he heavily rewarded the meritorious officials who had followed him into exile, but he forgot about Jie Zitui. Jie Zitui packed his luggage and quietly went to Mianshan to live in seclusion. After Chong'er heard about it, he personally took people to find Jie Zitui. Mianshan has high mountains, dangerous roads, and dense trees. It is not easy to find a person. Someone came up with a plan to set fire from three sides, so Jie Zitui was burned to death.

The next year, Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, led his ministers to climb a mountain to pay homage, and found that the old willow tree beside Jie Zitui's tomb had come back to life. Later, the day after Cold Food was designated as Qingming Festival.

On this day, we will come to the tomb, place a bouquet of flowers, and burn some paper money to express our thoughts and blessings for our loved ones, and silently pray for them in our hearts and bless them in heaven. This side can also live happily and joyfully like us. At this time, we can't help but think of the years they spent with us ***. These pictures seem to be still vivid in our minds. Thinking of these, I can't help but shed tears.

The scenery of spring in the distance caught my eye. Birds sang the sonata of spring. The mountains were filled with pink willows and red willows. Golden rapeseed flowers were everywhere. "The young buds were blowing and the leaves were falling." The buds are growing out, and there is a scene of spring and revival of all things everywhere. This is a season full of expectations and blessings. During the Qingming Festival, let us remember the past on such a special day.

Qingming Festival is the most sad festival for me. I have never felt such sadness. Maybe it is because I miss my ancestors.
