The Legend of Qingming Festival

Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the consort of Duke Xian of Jin, Lixi, set up a poisonous plot to murder the crown prince, Shensheng, in order to let her son, Xiqi, succeed to the throne, and Shensheng was forced to commit suicide. Shen Sheng's younger brother, Chong Er, went into exile in order to escape the disaster. While in exile, Chong Er suffered a lot of humiliation. Most of the ministers who followed him went their own way one after another. There were only a few loyal men left who followed him all the way. One of them was called Jie Zi Tui (介子推). Once, Chong Er passed out from hunger. In order to save Chong Er, Jie Zi Pui cut off a piece of meat from his own leg, cooked it over a fire and gave it to Chong Er to eat. Nineteen years later, Chong Er returned to his country and became the ruler, the Duke of Jin, one of the famous Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
