The origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day

In China's allusions, Tomb-Sweeping Day has many origins. ? One of the most famous is the legend of meson push. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er of Jin Wengong was exiled. He was tired and hungry on the road. He cut a piece of meat from his thigh and made soup for Zhong Er. Zhong Er was very grateful when he learned that. When Jin Wengong acceded to the throne, he forgot to praise the minister, but Jiexiu did not want fame and fortune and lived in Mianshan.

Zhong Er regretted it and burned Mianshan to find it. Afterwards, he found that Xie tui died in a withered Liuxia behind his mother's back, and left his last words: "May your master always be clear." ? To commemorate meson tui, Jin Wengong designated this day as Cold Food Festival. In the second year, Jin Wengong climbed a mountain to pay homage, and the willow tree actually came back to life, so he gave the old willow the title of "Qingming Willow" and took the day after the cold food as Tomb-Sweeping Day.
