What festival does the poem Cold Food describe?

The poem Cold Food Festival describes the scene of the ancient traditional festival "Cold Food Festival".

The original text is as follows:

cold drink and snack

Don? Meng Yunqing

Jiangnan in February is full of flowers, and cold food in other places is far from sadness.

Poor people often don't have fireworks, not only in the Ming Dynasty.

The translation is as follows:

In spring, Chang 'an is full of falling flowers and dancing; During the Cold Food Festival, the east wind blew the willow branches in the imperial garden obliquely.

At dusk, imperial candles came from the palace, and light smoke scattered into the newly sealed vassal palace.

Appreciation of poetry and prose:

This is a satire. Fire is forbidden in the Cold Food Festival, but favored officials will get special candles from the emperor and enjoy special privileges. Poetry is the favorite of satirists. Therefore, the retired scholars of Hengtang commented: "The prosperity of officials in the Tang Dynasty has not been reduced by the Huan Mausoleum. Poetry goes further than satire. " The first two sentences are about the scenery in mid-spring; The last two sentences implied irony. Poetry does not directly satirize, but only depicts the privileged class in life, which is subtle and incisive. According to Bai Meng's "Skill Poem" written in Tang Dynasty, this poem was appreciated by Tang Dezong, and Han Ling was promoted to the important position of driving. At that time, the secretariat of Jianghuai was also surnamed Han, and both of them had the same surname. Dezong personally wrote the whole poem "Flowers in Spring City", and approved "There is this Han Tomb", which became a well-known story and spread all over the world. ?
