The story of meson push

"One" < < Zuo Zhuan >; The story of meson push

105 The solstice after beginning of winter is the Cold Food Festival, also known as "No Smoking Festival" and "Cold Food Festival". It's only one day away from Tomb-Sweeping Day in the 24 solar terms. So now in many places, these two festivals have been put together. But in this festival, cold food plays a secondary role than Qingming. Tomb-Sweeping Day is neither qualified to "follow Qi Mei's example" nor able to "compete" with it. According to the current popular saying in the business world, it is very similar to a declining enterprise that once had glory, but was eventually merged by other companies because of poor management and difficulties. The original brilliant cultural elements under its command have gradually disappeared with the wear and tear of years and the decline of names and forms. But if you look closely at the history books, you will be surprised to find that in ancient times, the Cold Food Festival was originally a very grand folk festival, and Qingming was only its auxiliary festival. There was cold food before Qingming, and there was Qingming because of cold food. The humble position of the Cold Food Festival now is really the translocation of master and servant.

"The child is evasive, and the mountain fire burns me. The four seas have the same cold food, and one person in a thousand years. " The poem "Cold Food Festival" by Lv Xiang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, tells the story of the Cold Food Festival concisely. According to legend, more than 2,600 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Wengong's son Zhong Er went into exile with his ministers in order to avoid persecution by his stepmother Li Ji. There are many hardships on the road. When I arrived in Wei, I fainted from hunger. After seeing meson push, he cut a piece of meat from his leg and cooked it for Zhong Er. Nineteen years later, the monarch and his party restored China, and Zhong Er succeeded Jin Wengong to the throne.

Jin Wengong was one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. He fought decisively, rewarding and punishing. What a wonderful means. It's just that when I was a hero, I somehow forgot to cut the meat and feed myself. Seeing this, Zi tui did not want to feel ashamed, so he returned to his hometown and took his mother to live in seclusion in Mianshan. After being reminded, Jin Wengong remembered Zitui and learned that he had left. He regrets it very much. He personally took people to Mianshan to find him, but when he saw winding mountains and boundless forests, there was really no trace to be found. A minister offered a plan to Wen Gong, saying, "Jiezitui is a dutiful son. If Yamakaji is released, he will burn his mother into three sides, leaving one side. He is afraid of burning her mother, and he will definitely come out from the place where there is no fire. " The plan was wonderful, but when a fire broke out, treacherous court official Gu Yan and Zhao Shuai caught fire in all directions. In spring, the grass withered and the wind was high, and the fire burned for three days and nights. Jiezitui and his mother had no choice but to burn to death under a big willow tree.

Facing the burning forest smoke and charred bodies, Jin Wengong couldn't help falling down and wailing. When ministers saw this, whether they were sincere or not, they all followed suit, wailing loudly and resounding through the fields (Xiegongling still has the place name of "Crying Slope"). Later, Wen Gong stopped mourning and ordered: First, build a temple for his son in Mianshan so that he can enjoy a four-hour memorial service; 2. Mianshan was renamed "Jieshan", and Dingyang County where Mianshan is located was renamed "Jiexiu County"; Thirdly, the day when Yamakaji is released is designated as the "Cold Food Festival", and the national military and civilians are forbidden to cook food with fire for one month before and after this festival, and only eat cold food. This is the origin of the "Cold Food Festival". Jiexiu Jiexiu meson pushed here to rest! Some articles explain that mesons rest here, which is ridiculous!

As for Tomb-Sweeping Day, it is due to such a story: after the death of meson tui, careful people found him leaning against the big willow tree behind him, blocking a tree hole with his back, and there was a skirt with a bloody script written on it. This is meson's suicide note. The suicide note is a poem. The poem says:

I hope your master is always clear.

It is better to be a ghost than to accompany you as an exhorter.

If the monarch has me above everything else, he will always reflect on my death.

I have a clear conscience in Jiuquan, diligent and honest.

In the second year's Cold Food Festival, Zhong Er led his ministers to Mianshan, where they ate cold food for a whole day, and then climbed up the mountain to pay homage the next day. At this time, I saw that the dead willow had been resurrected, and ten thousand green tapestries danced with the wind, which was very prosperous. So Zhong Er named this resurrected willow "Qingming Willow" and named this day "Tomb-Sweeping Day". This is why there is cold food before Qingming, and Qingming is one day later than cold food.

Jiezitui is from Shanxi, so the custom of cold food was first popular in Shanxi. At first, the fire was cut off for a month, and people couldn't bear it. When they got sick, Cao Cao ordered to stop cold food. Then it resumed, but it was reduced to seven days, and three days took turns, and finally it was set as one day. A closer look at the changes of the Cold Food Festival shows that it was a single and local folk festival at first, and the activities of festival customs were very monotonous, with only cold food and no fire. The spread area stopped in Bingzhou area, but by the Southern Dynasties, it had spread to Jingchu area. "Always in the small Yingzhou outside the Golden Gate, cold food is more romantic. The red boat sings all over the lake, and there are tall buildings outside the flowers. The sun is shining, warm as spring, and the smoke is floating. Three thousand daisies, twelve withered, a cloud. " This is a lively scene of Hangzhou West Lake Cold Food Festival. Flowers and wine are abundant, red boats are all over the lake, and tourists are woven, which is a peaceful scene. Due to the attention and recommendation of the rulers and the participation of the wealthy hometown in the south of the Yangtze River, the Plain Cold Food Festival gradually enriched, and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, with activities such as cockfighting, horseback riding, outing, batting and swinging, which evolved into a major traditional festival of the Chinese nation.

The reason for the decline of the Cold Food Festival actually lies in its inhuman customs. Now is the best time for people to go hiking and pay homage to their ancestors. However, the Cold Food Festival requires a ban on fire, and people can only set the grave-sweeping activities in Tomb-Sweeping Day in order to burn paper money, which makes Tomb-Sweeping Day more and more important. In addition, the custom of burning fire in the Cold Food Festival has become increasingly indifferent due to the superficial concern for the memorial object and people's real life, thoughts and feelings, so Tomb-Sweeping Day came from behind and was gradually replaced by the Cold Food Festival.

But it also proves that the Cold Food Festival is the product of a typical official "executive order", rather than the so-called "people should express their commemoration of the spirit of meson push" in some articles. What is the so-called "meson push"? Some people say it is "both loyalty and filial piety." Looking through ancient and modern books and records, meson tui has no knowledge of nature and latitude, and Huang Zhong-Lu Da's voice has left no other mark on history and Jin Wengong's thought except a story of cutting his flesh and burning his body. Strong is strong, strong is strong, but what does it have to do with "people" What does it have to do with "loyalty and filial piety" Say "loyalty" first. If the butcher is loyal, why can't Jin Wengong search for mountains be avoided? Is it "loyalty" for me not to obey your orders? Would rather be a ghost under the willow tree than a useful exhorter for the country and the people? Is it for "loyalty"? To say "filial piety" is to be impulsive, not to eat Lu Jun angrily, and to be trapped in a cave in straw clothes. Is it filial piety? Finally, my mother was involved in the fire. Is it for filial piety? According to nature, I think the child is just a follower in the team that fights with the Lord to the death, and it is by no means ingenious to win the battle of thousands of miles. Otherwise, Liu Huangshu and Bai Di will not forget Zhuge Liang, and Jin Wengong will reward the world. How can he forget that mesons push a person? As for the disappointment and retirement later, I understand it as "being in a bad mood" (many articles mentioned that Jie Tui waited for a long time to retire angrily, never understood the truth of "retiring after becoming famous" and voluntarily withdrew from Vanity Fair). Negative mother into the mountains, this mood can be seen to make a big deal, but he never imagined that he would end up as an old mother, and finally died in flames because there was no way out. It may be true that Wen Gong burned mountains, but Zitui's poems were obviously invented by later generations. Its conception is mediocre and its words are trivial. It's really not like a flesh-and-blood person can pull out a sword and cut a piece of meat from himself.

Custom has always been a reflection of people's cultural mentality, which in turn cultivates people's cultural mentality. Big waves wash sand, this is a fine product and will naturally survive. As for those that have no retained value, there is nothing wrong with chasing waves. China's traditional culture is too heavy!

The story of meson tui () in the Spring and Autumn Period touched us.

The story of meson push

Speaking of Tomb-Sweeping Day, anyone with a little knowledge of history will associate it with the historical figure Jiexiu. According to historical records, in the Spring and Autumn Period more than two thousand years ago, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, fled abroad and lived a hard life. Jie tui, who followed him, cut a piece of meat from his leg without hesitation to satisfy his hunger. Later, Zhong Er returned to the State of Jin and became a monarch (that is, Jin Wengong, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period). All the followers who followed him in exile were rewarded for great events, except.

Jin Wengong had no choice but to let Yamakaji go. He thought that if he was filial to his mother, he would definitely come out with her. But the fire killed Jiexiu and her mother. In order to commemorate Jiexiu, Jin Wengong ordered that on this day every year, no fire was allowed and every household could only eat cold food. This is the origin of the Cold Food Festival.

The day before in Tomb-Sweeping Day was the Cold Food Festival. The ancients often extended the activities of the Cold Food Festival to Qingming. Over time, people combine cold food with Qingming. Now, Tomb-Sweeping Day has replaced the custom of cold food festival and worship of mesons, and become the custom of sweeping graves in Qingming.

When Zhong Er died in his early years, his father sacrificed his life to kill him, and then his brother Gong Hui followed him. Zhong Er is often hungry and naked. According to Biography of Hanshu, one year he fled to Weiguo, and an attendant named Clue stole all the food and fled into the mountains. Zhong Er had no food, so he was hungry and begged Fu Tian, but he didn't come to dinner. The meson pushed it into the ravine, cut a piece of meat on its leg and cooked it with the picked wild vegetables for Zhong Er to eat. When Zhong Er learned that it was the meat on meson tui's leg after eating, Zhong Er was greatly moved, claiming that he would be king one day and repay meson tui. When Zhong Er was in trouble, it was really commendable that meson tui could be so loyal. "Sharing" is not "fashion".

Quit your job and keep your promise.

After 19 years on the run, Zhong Er suddenly changed from a fugitive to Jin Wengong. At that time, it was a chaotic period in the week, so he sent troops to be diligent, "rewarding the dead but not the hermit." In this respect, Jietui didn't take the initiative to ask for compensation like Uncle Hu (a Taoshuhu). He said that Jin Wengong's return to China was an act of God, but Xietui thought it was loyalty to the king. This is no different from a thief who steals money, and it is difficult to deal with. It is wrong for meson to ignore the help of Hu Yan and others, but he has no resentment against Jin Wengong. There is no envy of fame and fortune. Have a plenty of disdain for Hu Yan and Uncle Hu's pursuit of wealth. Jiexiu lived in seclusion in Mianshan and became a hermit who didn't eat Lu Jun. "Lu Chunqiu" said that Xie tui refused to be rewarded, and once wrote a poem, "There are dragonflies in the world. Five snakes followed, Tamenojo supplemented, and the dragon turned against its hometown, and its position was four snakes. In the evening, Jin Wengong wrote a letter and hung it on the city gate. After seeing this poem, he regretted his ingratitude, and quickly sent someone to call meson to seal it, only to know that he was hiding in Mianshan. Jin Wengong personally took all the horses to Mianshan to look for them. Who knows Mianshan winding dozens of miles, high mountains and deep valleys, but can't find it. Jin Wengong was eager to help others, so he ordered the mountain to be burned on three sides. Unexpectedly, a fire broke out. After several miles, the fire didn't go out for three days, and the meson push didn't come out after all. Later, the bones of mother and son were found under a withered willow tree. Jin Wengong was very sad. He took a charred willow tree back to the palace and made a pair of clogs. Looking at it every day, I sigh, "It's a pity to take the first step. "Since then, the" first step "has become a title for subordinates to respect each other between superiors or peers, which is said to be the reason. Qin Ershi was buried in Peijie Village, his hometown, and Mianshan was changed to Jieshan to guard against his own mistakes. A hill was designated as Jiexiu Mausoleum, which was a nominal fief of Jiexiu. The cave where Jiexiu's mother and son lived in seclusion was converted into Gong Jie Temple. At the foot of Mianshan Mountain, a "Miao Jie" was neutral in the cypress forest south of Baigou Village, and Dingyang County was renamed Jiexiu County.

The above is taken from the network, thank you.

"Three" Tomb-Sweeping Day's short story "meson push" is 60 to 70 words shorter.

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of the Jin Dynasty, was exiled abroad, tired and hungry, and could no longer stand up. Chen Jietui cut off a piece of meat from his thigh and cooked a bowl of broth for childe to drink. Zhong Er gradually recovered his spirit.

Nineteen years later, Zhong Er became the monarch, that is, the historical Jin Wengong. After he ascended the throne, Wen Gong rewarded the heroes who accompanied him in exile at first, but forgot to push the meson. He packed his bags and quietly went to Mianshan to live in seclusion. When Jin Wengong heard about it, he was ashamed and personally took someone to invite Jietui, but Jietui had left home for Mianshan. Mianshan Mountain is high and dangerous, so it is difficult to find two people. Someone offered a plan to burn Mianshan from three sides and force a meson to push out. The fire burned all over Mianshan, but there was no trace of meson push. After the fire was put out, it was found that Jiezitui had sat under an old willow tree with his old mother on his back and died. When I was buried, I found a bloody book in a tree hole, which said, "May my master be clear forever." In order to commemorate meson tui, Jin Wengong ordered that this day be designated as the Cold Food Festival (i.e. Tomb-Sweeping Day).

The story of filial piety pushed by meson in "Four".

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the prince of Jin was forced into exile, tired and hungry in a deserted place. Everyone is very anxious. Meson pushed him to a secluded place, cut a piece of meat from his thigh and cooked a bowl of broth for the prince. Zhong Er gradually recovered his spirit. He shed tears of gratitude when he found that the meat was cut off from his leg by mesons.

Nineteen years later, Zhong Er became the monarch, that is, the historical Jin Wengong. After he ascended the throne, Wen Gong rewarded the heroes who went into exile with him, but forgot to recommend them. Many people complained about meson tui and advised him to ask for a reward, but meson tui looked down on those who tried hard to ask for a reward. He packed his bags and quietly went to Mianshan with his mother.

Jin Wengong was ashamed to hear this, so he personally took someone to ask meson tui. However, Mianshan Mountain is high and dangerous, with dense trees. It was hard to find two people, so someone offered a plan to burn Mianshan on three sides and force the meson push back. The fire burned all over Mianshan, but there was no trace of meson push. After the fire was put out, people found that Jiezitui, who was carrying his old mother, had sat under an old willow tree and died. Jin Wengong was very sad to see him. Later, a book with blood was found in the tree hole, which read: "May your master be always clear."

To commemorate meson push, Jin Wengong ordered Mianshan to be changed to "Jieshan". On this day, no fire is allowed in the whole country, and only cold food such as melon and fruit snacks is eaten, which is designated as the "Cold Food Festival".

The following year, Jin Wengong led the minister to climb a mountain to pay homage, and found that the old willow tree came back from the dead. He named Laoliu "Qingming Willow" and told the world that the day after the Cold Food Festival was named "Tomb-Sweeping Day".

Later, Jin Wengong put the bloody book beside him as a souvenir, urging him to take power. He is diligent and honest, and strives to govern the country well.

The story of "Wu" meson push

After his early death, his father gave his life to chase him, and later his brother Jin chased him. Zhong Er is often hungry and naked. According to the Records of Hanshu Yiwenzhi, one year he fled to Wei, and an attendant named Touxu stole all his food and fled to the mountains. Hunger is unbearable without food in Zhong Er.

When begging from Fu Tian, farmers didn't come to eat, but joked that they would use clods as food. Later, Zhong Er almost fainted from hunger. In order to keep Zhong Er alive, meson pushed him into the ravine, cut off a piece of meat on his leg, and cooked it with the picked wild vegetables into soup for Zhong Er. When Zhong Er ate the meat from meson tui's leg, Zhong Er was greatly moved, claiming that he would become king one day and repay meson tui. It is really commendable that meson tui was so loyal when Zhong Er suffered a disaster.

(5) The story of meson is extended to read:

Character spirit

As an aristocrat in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jiezitui's words and deeds were regarded as pedantic by gangsters, but they reflected the meaning of the right path. Meson Tui's behavior is not loyalty to the monarch, but patriotism. Later, the Confucian evaluation meeting was a "model of loyalty to the monarch", which became the origin of the gentleman spirit in China's traditional Confucian concept. This is really a shame of meson push! It is wrong for future generations to define their behavior as pedantry and ignorance. Even today, we should advocate loyalty to the country.

Commemoration of future generations

Jiezitui Temple, located in Zhang Hao Village, Lingshi County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, was called Yingyi Wang Sheng Temple in ancient times. In the place where the Miao Jie Temple was built, there are original mother-child cypress and mother-child monument. Legend has it that the place where Bo's mother and son were born is the place where Meson pushed the mother and son to embrace and burn to death. The original environment around Miao Jie Temple is quiet, with ten miles of shade, beautiful scenery and cool climate. Because of this, it is also called "sacred forest". Unfortunately, when the Japanese invaders invaded China in 1942, all the mountain temples here were destroyed by fire. Now there is only one side courtyard of the temple, and there are still stone piers and five stone monuments on the pedestal of the original temple.

Tomb-Sweeping Day of Lu originated from the legend of meson push. Is there a story about meson push?

The story 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. Jin Wengong acceded to the throne, forgot to praise the minister, but Jiezitui 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. After more than two thousand years' evolution, Tomb-Sweeping Day has gone beyond the meaning of solar terms and has extremely rich connotations.

Different customs have been developed in different places, and sweeping graves to worship ancestors and outing are the basic themes. Grave-sweeping originated in Shang Dynasty, but not necessarily in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave sweeping didn't become popular until the Tang Dynasty, and it was handed down from generation to generation. From the Tang Dynasty, from princes and ministers to ordinary people, we should pay homage to the dead souls of our ancestors on this festival. When sweeping the grave, we must first repair the grave, mainly to remove weeds and add new soil.

On the one hand, this ceremony can express the filial piety and care for the dead; On the other hand, the ancients believed that the graves of ancestors were closely related to the fate of future generations, so tomb repair was an extremely important memorial ceremony.

(6) The story of meson tui is extended to grave-sweeping sacrifice.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is the Spring Festival of the Chinese nation, and the corresponding Spring Festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Double Ninth Festival. Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave-sweeping is a kind of "grave-sweeping sacrifice" and a kind of "respect for time thinking" for ancestors. Its customs have a long history. The custom of sweeping graves to worship ancestors during the Spring Festival has existed since the pre-Qin period. Due to the different customs between the North and the South in the pre-Qin period, it was not necessarily in Tomb-Sweeping Day that the graves were swept in some places.

Grave-sweeping in the northern part of the Central Plains in the pre-Qin period was mainly in the Cold Food Festival and the Cold Clothes Festival, and it was not until the Tang and Song Dynasties that Qingming grave-sweeping began to prevail in the whole country. Tomb-Sweeping Day has a long history. In the four seasons ceremonies in ancient times, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple in spring was called Chunjia (later Chunci) ceremony. The Tang Dynasty was a period of integration of the custom of tomb sacrifice in different places, which followed the custom of tomb sacrifice in Qingming and extended to the whole society.

According to the Book of Rites, there was no custom of Tomb-Sweeping Day going to the grave in ancient North China. By the Tang Dynasty, it had become a custom for Tomb-Sweeping Day to visit graves. Since the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court has given officials a holiday and asked them to go to their hometown to visit their graves. According to "Dream of Liang Lu" in the Song Dynasty, every time you go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, "officials go out to the tombs of the suburbs to show their respect for their thoughts." Grave-sweeping activities around Tomb-Sweeping Day often become the personal participation of the whole society. Within a few days, the country people came and went, and the scale was extremely prosperous. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Tomb-Sweeping Day has merged two festivals and customs, namely, cold food and thinking, which have been passed down from generation to generation.

The historical meson of Qi pushes the story of filial piety to parents.

The story of meson push

According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jin Xiangong's concubine killed the prince in order to let her son inherit the throne, and Shen Sheng was forced to commit suicide. Shen Sheng's younger brother, Zhong Er, went into exile to escape the scourge. During his exile, Zhong Er suffered humiliation. Most of the courtiers who went out with him went out one after another.

Only a few loyal people have been following him. One of them is called meson push. On one occasion, Zhong Er fainted from hunger. In order to save Zhong Er, Jiezitui cut a piece of meat from his thigh, cooked it with fire and gave it to Zhong Er. Nineteen years later, Zhong Er returned to China and became a monarch. This is Jin Wengong, one of the five famous tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period.

After Jin Wengong came to power, in addition to meson push, he offered many rewards to courtiers who shared his joys and sorrows. Someone defended meson in front of Jin Wengong. Jin Wengong suddenly remembered the past and felt guilty. He immediately sent someone to ask meson to take the imperial court to be rewarded as an official.

However, after several trips, the meson could not be pushed. Jin Wengong had to please. However, when Jin Wengong came to the meson pusher's house, he saw that the door was closed. Jiezitui didn't want to see him, and had already been hiding behind his mother in Mianshan (now southeast of Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province). Jin Wengong asked his body guard to search Mianshan, but he couldn't find it.

So, someone had an idea, saying, it is better to let Yamakaji go, set fire on three sides, leave one side, burn it and the meson will come out. Jin Wengong ordered the promotion of Yamakaji. Unexpectedly, the fire burned for three days and nights. After the fire was put out, the meson was not pushed out after all. Looking up the mountain, the mother and son were holding a charred willow tree and were dead.

Jin Wengong looked at meson push's body and cried for a while, then buried it, and found that meson push's back was blocked by a willow hole, and there seemed to be something in the hole. Take out a look, turned out to be a skirt, with a blood poem:

I hope your master is always clear.

It is better to be a ghost than to accompany you as an exhorter.

If your master has me in his heart, remember that I often reflect.

I have a clear conscience in Jiuquan, diligent and honest.

Jin Wengong hid the bloody book in his sleeve. Then meson tui and his mother were buried under the charred willow tree. To commemorate Jiexiu, Jin Wengong ordered Mianshan to be changed to Jiexiu Mountain, and an ancestral temple was built on the mountain, and the day when Yamakaji was released was designated as the Cold Food Festival, telling the whole country that it is forbidden to set off fireworks and firecrackers on this day every year and only eat cold food.

When he left, he cut a charred willow and made a pair of clogs in the palace. He looked at it every day and sighed, "What a pity." The "first step" is the name of ancient people's subordinates respecting each other between superiors or peers, which is said to come from it.

The following year, Jin Wengong led his ministers to go hiking in plain clothes to show their respect and condolences. Walking to the grave, I saw the dead old willow tree resurrected, with thousands of green branches dancing in the wind.

Jin Wengong looked at the resurrected old willow tree and seemed to see the meson push. He walked up to him respectfully, lovingly squeezed a branch, braided it into a circle and put it on his head. After the sacrifice, Jin Wengong named the revived old willow "Qingming Willow" and named it Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Later, Jin Wengong often took a bloody book with him as a souvenir, urging himself to take power. He is diligent and honest, and strives to govern the country well.

Since then, the people of Jin have been able to live and work in peace and contentment, and they are very nostalgic for Jietui, who has made outstanding contributions and is not looking for wealth. On the day of his death, it is forbidden to set off fireworks in memory of him.

It is also made of flour and jujube paste into the shape of a swallow, strung with willow branches and inserted above the door to summon his soul. This thing is called "pushing swallows" (also called intermediary pushing).

Since then, cold food and Qingming have become grand festivals for the people of the whole country. Whenever there is cold food, people don't make a fire to cook, but only eat cold food. In the north, people only eat cold food prepared in advance, such as jujube cakes and wheat cakes. In the south, there are mostly green balls and glutinous rice and sugar lotus roots.

Every time I go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, people put wicker in a circle and put wicker branches in front of the house to show their memory.

(7) The story of meson push extended reading meson push (famous minister of Jin State in Spring and Autumn Period)

Meson push (? -636 BC), also known as Jie Zhitui, was honored as a meson by later generations. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a man was born in Hukou Village, Wenxi County, Jin State (now Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province) and grew up in Pei Street, Xia County. Because of his feat of "cutting shares to serve the king", he lived in a simple life and was missed by the world.

He was buried in Mianshan, Jiexiu after his death. Zhong Er, Jin Wengong, was deeply guilty, so he changed Mianshan to Jieshan and built a temple to offer sacrifices, which resulted in the "Cold Food Festival" (the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day). Poets and scholars of past dynasties left a large number of poems to be read.

Follow Zhong Er.

The birth story of meson push is rarely seen in the literature. During the Spring and Autumn Period, civil strife occurred in the State of Jin. Jin Xiangong was partial, wanted to abolish the Prince and made his son the Prince, which caused a series of accidents.

Prince Shen Sheng was framed to death by Li Ji; Sun Yiwu and Zhong Er were afraid of fleeing, and Zhong Er took refuge in Zhaizhai, accompanied by many wise men. There are mainly five people, namely: Hu Yan, Zhao Shuai, Wei Gui, Si, Jie Zitui and "Zhao Shuai; Nonsense, Wen Gongjiu also; Wei Jia; Xian Zhen; Wei Yu's theory.
