The second column: The legend and origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Tomb-Sweeping Day began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than two thousand years. According to legend, after Dayu's flood control, people used the word "Qingming" to celebrate that the flood had been eliminated, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the world was peaceful. But at this time, it is the season of spring blooming. Spring is beautiful, charming, fading, sunny and everything is reviving, which is just suitable for spring outing, so the habit of Qingming outing began in the Tang Dynasty.

Because spring returns to the earth, it is warm and rainy in spring, especially suitable for farming. There is a proverb in ancient farming: "Before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans" and "Planting trees is not as good as Qingming". Later, Tomb-Sweeping Day started as a solar term and developed into a good season for outing and farming. However, because Tomb-Sweeping Day and the Cold Food Festival, that is, the day when people worship their ancestors, later generations merged the Cold Food Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day into one festival. Therefore, smoking, ancestor worship and grave sweeping are not allowed during Tomb-Sweeping Day, and only cold food is allowed. Added a lot of meaning and life interest to Tomb-Sweeping Day.
