The dead are like this, but the living live forever.

I have always felt that the ancients were extremely intelligent and prescient. In contrast, the weather forecast of modern social meteorological stations is just like this. The ancients casually asserted the weather in Tomb-Sweeping Day with a poem, as if it must have rained since ancient times. Perhaps God was also crying for the dead and remembering them.

Tomb-Sweeping Day thought it was just a festival to remember our ancestors, but there was a sad legend hidden behind it.

According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of Jin Dynasty, went into exile to escape persecution. On the way to exile, he was tired and hungry in a deserted place, and he could no longer stand up. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find anything to eat. When everyone was extremely anxious, I pushed the minister to a secluded place, cut a piece of meat from my thigh and cooked a bowl of broth for the childe to drink. Zhong Er gradually recovered his spirit. When Zhong Er found that the meat was cut off by the meson pushing his leg, he shed tears.

Nineteen years later, Zhong Er became a monarch, that is, Jin Wengong in history. After he acceded to the throne, Wen Gong rewarded the hero who accompanied him in exile at the beginning, but forgot meson push. Many people complain about meson, and advise him to admire him. However, meson most despises those who strive for merit. He packed his bags and quietly went to Mianshan to live in seclusion.

Jin Wengong was so ashamed when he heard this that he personally took someone to ask Jietui, but Jietui had left home for Mianshan. Mianshan Mountain is high and dangerous, with dense trees. It is hard to find two people. Someone offered a plan to burn Mianshan Mountain from three sides and force a meson to push it out. The fire burned all over Mianshan, but there was no sign of meson push. After the fire was extinguished, people found that meson push carrying his old mother had sat under an old willow tree and died. Jin Wengong said, wailing. During the burial, I found a bloody book in a tree hole, which read: "I wish my master would always be clear." To commemorate meson tui, Jin Wengong ordered that this day be designated as Cold Food Festival.

In the second year, Jin Wengong led his ministers to climb the mountain to pay homage, and found the old willow tree dead and resurrected. He named the old willow "Qingming Willow" and told the world that the day after the Cold Food Festival was designated as Tomb-Sweeping Day.

behind this sad and beautiful legend, there is a great love feeling of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism and a small family feeling of filial piety to the mother. Jiezitui is a model of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

Throughout the ages, Qingming Festival has become a cultural carrier and emotional sustenance, which can be regarded as respect and yearning for the deceased. On this day, there are many people who regret that the deceased did not treat him well in the world, and it is too late to understand the goodness of the deceased until he really leaves the world. People, what they don't understand most is to cherish, and only when they lose it can they know the value of possession.

The deceased has passed away, so we should learn to cherish the relatives around us. Someone once said that companionship is the longest confession. Cherish every minute of companionship. Perhaps it will be the warmth of our loved ones' life and our most unforgettable memories!

Tomb-Sweeping Day is not only used to remember the dead, but also to remind us to cherish and care for the living. Don't wait until it's too late to say I love you to our relatives, but they have left, leaving us with lifelong regrets. In China people's mind, it is hard to express feelings, but it is also obscure. China people's love is a deep love. We should learn to express our love for our loved ones and bravely say I love you. This is the most beautiful words to our parents in the world, simple and profound.

Tomb-Sweeping Day, may we think of the dead and cherish the living; Remembering old friends and honoring present people.
