What is the relationship between Cold Food Festival and Cold Clothes Festival in DAMIAN LAU's profile? The difference between Cold Clothes Festival and Cold Food Festival

The first day of the 10th lunar month is the traditional winter clothing festival in China. In the northern region, the Winter Dress Festival is usually used for ancestor worship and grave sweeping to mourn the deceased relatives. So, what's the difference between this festival that provides warm clothes for ancestors and the Cold Food Festival? Let Lao Huangli introduce the difference between Cold Food Festival and Cold Food Festival.

The specific date of the Cold Food Festival is after the winter solstice 105. Now most parts of Shanxi celebrate the Cold Food Festival the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day. Two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day, Yushe County and other places ushered in the Cold Food Festival. Qu Xian also emphasized that the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day was a cold food festival, and the day before was a light cold food.

As for the origin of the Cold Food Festival, it is said that it is to commemorate the retreat of the doctor of the State of Jin. At that time, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, went into exile to escape the persecution of his father's concubine. In the most difficult time, he pushed the minister meson to push "reducing shares to serve the king."

Nineteen years later, Zhong Er returned to the State of Jin and became Jin Wengong, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. Of course, Jin Wengong was very concerned about the heroes who were exiled with him, but he just forgot to introduce them. Jiezitui thinks that he is in line with the destiny of helping you restore your country and is unwilling to associate with people who take credit. His mother lives in seclusion in Mianshan, Jiexiu.

Jin Wengong was ashamed to hear this, so he went to Mianshan to find a meson to push the mother and son, but found nothing. Wen had to listen to other people's tricks and let him go. He tried to push the meson out, but the fire burned for three days and nights, and he still didn't push the meson out.

It was not until the fire went out that people discovered that the mother and son had been burned to death. Before they died, they clung to a burnt willow tree. To commemorate meson push, Jin Wengong imperial edict changed Mianshan to Jieshan. On the day the meson was pushed to death, no fire was allowed, only cold food was eaten. This is the origin of the Cold Food Festival.

The festival in China is on the first day of October. Since ancient times, there has been a custom of offering sacrifices to ancestors to show filial piety and never forget their roots. The ancients also worshipped their ancestors Xiaomi on the first day of the tenth lunar month. Clothing Festival is also called October Festival, Ancestor Festival and Ghost Festival. On this day, people pay special attention to paying tribute to the martyrs.

Because the Cold Clothes Festival coincides with the first day of the Winter Day for the Dead, in order to protect ancestors from the cold in the underworld, people not only burn paper money for the deceased, but also burn clothes made of colored paper for their ancestors, which is called "sending cold clothes". Later, some places no longer burned warm clothes, but "burned luggage", that is, a large number of ghost papers were sealed in paper bags, and the names of the recipients and senders and their corresponding titles were written down.

As early as the Zhou Dynasty, important sacrificial activities were held on October 1st. This paper describes the situation of La Worship in the Zhou Dynasty: the emperor offered sacrifices to plunder, offered sacrifices to the gods of the sun, the moon, the stars and the stars on the altar of the country, offered sacrifices to five generations of ancestors at the gate of the city, comforted the peasants and promulgated a new work and rest system. It has been mentioned that "there is a fire in July, and clothes are delivered in September", which means that it has gradually become cold since September, and people want to buy clothes to keep out the cold, so the first day of October is also commonly known as the clothes delivery festival.

In the second year of Tang Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty issued an imperial edict: "From now on, clothes will be recommended in the tomb on September 1 every year to show thousand-year filial piety." This imperial edict directly influenced the folk custom of giving clothes to the grave. Because winter comes in October and September is earlier, this custom lasts until October. October custom in Song Dynasty is mainly manifested in three aspects: giving clothes, offering sacrifices and cooking stoves.

The detailed record of the Cold Clothes Festival in Ming Dynasty: "On October 1st, the paper was cut into five colors to make clothes for men and women. Straight feet,
