According to historical records, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, went into exile in other countries for 19 years to avoid disaster, and Minister Jiezitui was consistent and never left. Even "cutting stocks." Zhong Er tried to become a famous monarch "Jin Wengong".

Jiezitui didn't want to get rich, so she lived in seclusion with her mother in Mianshan. Jin Wengong ordered the release of Yamakaji to force him to leave the mountain. Meson Tui was determined not to go out of the mountain and eventually died in the sea of fire. Jin Wengong remembered his loyalty, buried him in Mianshan, built a shrine and a temple, and ordered the prohibition of cold food on the day of Jiexiu to express his grief. This is the origin of the "Cold Food Festival".
