The origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day's handwritten newspaper content Tomb-Sweeping Day

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of the Jin Dynasty, was persecuted and had to flee abroad. However, on the way to escape, tired and hungry, it is difficult to stand up, and life is at a critical juncture. However, it is deserted here, and the accompanying ministers can't find food anywhere. Everyone is extremely anxious and there is nothing they can do.

At this time, Xie tui went to a quiet place quietly, cut a piece of meat from his thigh, cooked a bowl of soup, and let the son drink it. Zhong Er slowly regained his energy. He was grateful when he learned that Jie tui had cut off the meat on his leg.

Later, Zhong Er and Jin Wengong became monarchs. I only forgot the meson push when I rewarded the minister. Many people advised him to reward him, but Jiezitui packed his bags and accompanied his mother to Mianshan quietly for seclusion.

Later, when Jin Wengong heard about it, he felt ashamed. He personally took someone to ask Jiezitui, but he left and went to live in Mianshan. There is no way, we must release Yamakaji and force the meson to push. But instead, the fire burned all over, and I didn't see it.

Later, after the fire was put out, meson tui was found sitting under an old willow tree with his old mother on his back and died. Jin Wengong cried. When I was buried, I found a skirt in a tree hole, which said, "May my master be always clear."

To commemorate meson tui, Jin Wengong ordered that this day be designated as Cold Food Festival. On this day, it is forbidden to set off fireworks and only eat cold food. At the same time, Mianshan was renamed "Jieshan", and a ancestral hall was built on the mountain to commemorate it. The following year, Jin Wengong led ministers to climb mountains to pay homage. When he discovered that the old willow tree had come back from the dead, he gave it the title of "Qingming Willow" and named the day after the Cold Food Festival as Tomb-Sweeping Day.
