Meson Push and the Origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day

The origin of meson push and Tomb-Sweeping Day is as follows:

Tomb-Sweeping Day probably began in the Zhou Dynasty, with a history of more than 2,500 years. Jie Zhitui was a loyal minister of the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as a loyal servant of the monarch of the State of Jin. He did not cherish his reputation and did not pay for it, leaving many legends.

Legend has it that in order to mourn Jiexiu, Jin Wengong ordered that March 5th, when Jiexiu was burned all over the country, be designated as No Fire Day. It is forbidden to set off fireworks and eat only cold food, which has formed a famous festival in ancient China.

Although the real origin of the Cold Food Festival does not come from this, it is more popular to take the commemorative meson as the origin of the Cold Food Festival, and even later the Cold Food Festival was gradually replaced. Many people took the commemorative meson as the origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as outing festival, outing festival, March festival, ancestor worship festival, etc. It was celebrated at the turn of mid-spring and late spring. Tomb-Sweeping Day originated from the ancestral belief and the custom of worshipping spring in ancient times, which has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is both a natural solar term and a traditional festival.

Grave-sweeping and hiking are the two major themes of Tomb-Sweeping Day etiquette and customs, and these two traditional themes have been passed down from ancient times to the present in China. Tomb-Sweeping Day is an ancient festival of the Chinese nation. It is not only a solemn festival to pay homage to ancestors, but also a happy festival for people to get close to nature, have an outing and enjoy the fun of spring.

Douzhi B (or solar calendar reaches 15) is Tomb-Sweeping Day gas, and the node time is around April 5 of Gregorian calendar. At this time, the vitality is booming, the yin is declining, everything is "going to the old and welcoming the new", and the earth presents a scene full of spring, which is a good time to go for a walk in the spring and sweep the graves.
