The origin story of Qingming Festival:

The Cold Food Festival became a holiday related to a historical figure, Jie Zi Tui. Legend has it that Duke Wen of Jin, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, had a 19-year exile before he became the king of the state of Jin. When he was on the run and in a very difficult situation, Jie Zi Pui, who followed him, cut off a piece of meat from his own leg and boiled it in soup to feed him.

Later, when he returned to Jin and became the king, he rewarded all his followers with great prizes, but forgot about Jie Zi Pui. By the time he remembered Jie Zi push, he had already taken his mother to live in Mianshan Mountain, and refused to come out to accept the reward. Duke Wen of Jin had no choice but to set fire to the mountain, thinking that Jie Zi push was very filial to his mother, and would surely bring his mother out. But the fire burned his mother and son to death under a willow tree.

In honor of Jie Zi push, Duke Wen of Jin ordered that every year on this day, fire is forbidden, and every family can only eat raw and cold food. Jie Zi push gave up the life of a high-ranking official in order to take care of his aged mother, and the Cold Food Festival has become a filial thanksgiving festival to commemorate the loved ones.

The Cold Food Festival is the day before the Qingming Festival, and over time, people have combined Cold Food and Qingming into one. Now, Qingming has become a holiday to replace the Cold Food Festival, and the custom of worshipping Jie Zi Tui has become the custom of sweeping tombs and paying homage to ancestors in Qingming.
