In ancient times, it was said that the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day was the "Cold Food Festival". Legend has it that it originated from Jin Wengong's mourning for meson push in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong's perverse actions led to civil strife in the State of Jin, and governors were chased and fled from the State of Jin, and his son Zhong Er took refuge outside. Jietui and other ministers followed Zhong Er's loyalty and went into exile 19 years. In the most difficult situation, Zhong Er was exiled to Weiguo, so he couldn't go hungry. Ministers picked wild vegetables for cooking, but Zhong Er couldn't eat them.

Jiexiu, a loyal minister, sneaked into the ravine, cut off a piece of meat from his leg and cooked it with wild vegetables for Zhong Er. Zhong Er took it and wolfed it down. This just asked where the broth came from. The minister next to him told him that Zitui had been cut off from his thigh. Zhong Er was moved to tears and vowed to repay him in the future.

Later, Jin Wengong returned to China as a monarch, but when he was enfeoffed, he forgot to abdicate. Jie tui doesn't want to brag, compete for favor, and live in seclusion with his mother in Mianshan. Later, someone couldn't stand it anymore, so they wrote a poem and posted it on the door of the palace. After reading it, Jin Wengong suddenly realized: This is meson pushing me. So I sent someone to find meson push, only to know that meson push had moved away from my mother and disappeared.

Later, after many inquiries, I learned that Jiexiu's mother and son lived in seclusion in Mianshan, Jiexiu, so Jin Wengong personally invited Jiexiu to Mianshan. However, meson Tui is unwilling to be an official and can't escape from the mountains. Just when Jin Wengong was at his wit's end, his men came up with a plan: Jiexiu was a dutiful son. If the king lit fires everywhere and set Mianshan on fire, and Jiexiu would escape from the mountain for the sake of his mother's safety, wouldn't the king find him?

Hearing this, Jin Wengong thought it was a good idea, so he ordered his men to release Yamakaji. I meant to force meson to show his face, but I didn't expect meson to push his mother out after the fire swept through Mianshan.

After putting out the fire, Jin Wengong ordered the army to search the mountain. Unexpectedly, meson pushed his mother and was burned to death under the tree. To commemorate this loyal minister, Jin Wengong immediately ordered: On the day of Jiexiu, the whole state of Jin did not make a fire to cook, but only ate cold food, which was called the Cold Food Festival.
