What is the origin of the 80 words in Tomb-Sweeping Day?

The traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day in China began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Qingming is first and foremost a very important solar term. As soon as Qingming arrives, the temperature rises, which is a good time for spring ploughing and sowing.

Later, as the days of Qingming and cold food approached, cold food was the day when people banned fire to sweep graves. Gradually, cold food and Qingming became one, and cold food became another name of Qingming and became a custom of Qingming. On Qingming Day, there are no fireworks, only cold food.
