What is the solar term in Han Shi?

Cold Food Festival is a traditional festival in China, also known as "Cold Food Festival" and "No Smoking Festival", which is held on 105 days after the summer solstice and one or two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day. It was once called the largest folk festival in China, and it was also the only festival named after the traditional festival of Han nationality. On this day, people are forbidden to smoke and only eat cold food. Historically, the time of the Cold Food Festival is different in different dynasties and regions, some one or two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day, some one day after Tomb-Sweeping Day, but they are basically close to Tomb-Sweeping Day time.

In the past, smoking was banned at the Cold Food Festival, and only cold food was eaten. After the development of later generations, the customs of sweeping, climbing, swinging, cuju, crochet and cockfighting gradually increased. According to historical records, the origin of the Cold Food Festival: During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, fled to other countries and lived in exile for 19 years. Minister Jiezitui always followed around and never gave up; Even "stock trading."

Zhong Er tried to become a famous gentleman "Jin Wengong". But meson tui didn't want to make a fortune, so he lived in seclusion with his mother in Mianshan. Jin Wengong ordered the release of Yamakaji to force him to leave the mountain. Meson Tui was determined not to come out of the mountain and was eventually burned to death. 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". Before the calendar reform in Tang Ruowang in the early Qing Dynasty, Tomb-Sweeping Day was scheduled for two days after the Cold Food Festival. After the reform of the Tang family, the Cold Food Festival was held the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day.

The food on the day of the Cold Food Festival includes cold porridge, cold noodles, cold paste, green rice and preserved rice. Cold food offerings include pink swallow, snake rabbit, jujube cake, refined rye, god and so on. Drinks include spring wine, fresh tea, clear spring and sweet water. The works related to the Cold Food Festival include Cold Food on the Tomb by Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty and Cold Food Flowers by Zhang Ji in the Tang Dynasty.
