The Han Dynasty called the Cold Food Festival a no-smoking festival, because people were not allowed to light a fire on this day, and candles were lit in the palace at night, and the fire spread to the homes of dignitaries. According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, the first Cold Food Festival lasted for a long time, the longest being 105 days and the shortest being 1 month. No fire is allowed in the Cold Food Festival, only raw food is allowed, which is bad for people's health.
