Why is the Cold Food Festival combined with Qingming, one of the 24 solar terms?

The Cold Food Festival will be combined with Tomb-Sweeping Day, one of 24 solar terms, because the first small holiday after the New Year is a three-day holiday. In ancient times, three days was not much, ranging from four days to five days to seven days, but it was enough for us to visit the graves and worship our ancestors.

Twenty-four solar terms are the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient working people, summarizing the climate laws into daily production and life, and then guiding people's production and life. The twenty-four solar terms are actually divided into twelve solar terms and twelve qi.

What is Qingming? This is a solar term, one of the 24 solar terms. Among the 24 solar terms, Tomb-Sweeping Day is the only traditional festival, and Tomb-Sweeping Day is closely related to the Cold Food Festival. As a festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day is later than the Cold Food Festival. Cold food festival, as we know, is a festival to commemorate meson tui. Mesons were born in Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period. Allocated to 12 months. There is an average solar term every month. Each solar term is about 15 days, and each solar term is divided into three periods, that is, 5 days. For example, the rainy month is the first month, the summer solstice month is May, and the winter solstice month is November.

On the way to escape, Zhong Er often went hungry. Once, he was so hungry that he almost fainted. The meson pushed the meat off his leg and gave it to Zhong Er. Zhong Er was very moved and said that one day he would repay meson for being king. At the same time, The Legend of Zhong Er is being broadcast. The story of meson push is the story of Zhong Er. At that time, there was civil strife in Jin. Li Ji, the prince's favorite concubine, wanted to abolish Prince Shen Sheng and change his son Xi into a prince.

So we can know that the Cold Food Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day are integrated, and we can also see that the ancient culture at that time was very strong. This culture is indelible.
