The origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day and the origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day.

It is said in Tomb-Sweeping Day that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of the Jin Dynasty, went into exile to escape persecution. On the way to exile, in a deserted place, I was tired and hungry, and I couldn't stand up anymore.

I searched for a long time, but I didn't find anything to eat. When everyone was extremely anxious, I went to a secluded place with the minister of reconciliation, cut a piece of meat from my thigh and cooked a bowl of broth for my son to drink. Zhong Er gradually recovered his spirit. Zhong Er was moved to tears when he found that the meat on his leg had been removed.

3. Nineteen years later, Zhong Er became the monarch, that is, the historical Jin Wengong. After he ascended the throne, Wen Gong rewarded the heroes who accompanied him in exile at first, but forgot to push the meson. Many people complained about meson push and advised him to admire it. However, mesons despise those who strive for merit the most. He packed his bags and quietly went to Mianshan to live in seclusion with his old mother.

4. After hearing this, Jin Wengong was ashamed and personally took someone to ask Jiexiu, but Jiexiu had left home for Mianshan. Mianshan Mountain is high and dangerous, with dense trees. It's hard to find two people. Someone offered a plan to burn Mianshan from three sides and force a meson to push out.

5. Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as the Walking Festival, is one of the traditional festivals and one of the most important sacrificial festivals in China. It is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring, that is, 104 days after the winter solstice. This is the day to worship ancestors and sweep graves.

6. The traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day of the Han nationality in China began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Influenced by the Han culture, 24 ethnic minorities in China, such as Manchu, Hezhe, Zhuang, Oroqen, Dong, Tujia, Miao, Yao, Li, Shui, Jing and Qiang, also have the customs of Tomb-Sweeping Day. Although customs vary from place to place, grave-sweeping and outing are the basic themes.

7. Tomb-Sweeping Day, formerly known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, was designated as a national holiday by the government of the Republic of China on April 5, A.D. 1935, 15 days after the vernal equinox, also known as the National Tomb Sweeping Festival. On May 20th, 2006, with the approval of the State Council, Tomb-Sweeping Day was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage.
