What festival is the Cold Food Festival?

Cold food is the work of Han Yi, a poet in Tang Dynasty.

In late spring, Chang 'an city is full of songs and dances, and countless flowers fall. The east wind of the Cold Food Festival blows on the willow trees in the royal garden.

As night fell, the palace was busy lighting candles, and smoke drifted to the house of the prince and the marquis.

This is a work about Chang 'an City around the Cold Food Festival.

There has always been a rule that during cold food, fire should be banned and cold food should be eaten, so it is called "Cold Food Festival". This festival was officially promoted at that time, in order to commemorate extreme loyalty, and then was pushed to death by the master. How to see if everyone abides by the rules of the festival? That is to ban fire. The last sentence of this poem clearly means that those official houses not only lit lamps, but also gave out candlelight in the palace.

This is actually an allegorical poem. The "Han Palace" here actually refers to the imperial court at that time, which was the written rule at that time.

Therefore, although this work is famous for the first sentence "Spring City is full of flowers", it is actually a work that satirizes the court officials' failure to observe the custom of banning fire.

But this kind of anti-human festival was naturally eliminated by the people in the entertainment-loving Tang Dynasty. Even then, his satire was meaningless.

On the contrary, because Tang Dezong liked his first sentence very much, he was promoted to his official position, which made him a much-told story of being promoted because of poetry.

Who do you think has eaten "cold food" today?
