On his way to escape persecution, he found himself in an uninhabited place, tired and hungry, and no longer able to stand up. After half a day of searching, the ministers couldn't find anything to eat. When everyone was very anxious, the minister Jie Zi Pui went to a secluded place, cut off a piece of meat from his own thigh, and cooked a bowl of broth for the duke to drink, which gradually restored his spirit, and when he realized that the meat had been cut off from Jie Zi Pui's own thigh, he shed tears.

Nineteen years later, Chong Er became the king of the country, the historical Duke Wen of Jin. He rewarded all the ministers who had accompanied him into exile, but forgot about Jie Zi push. Many people were angry with Jie Zi Tui and urged him to face the king to ask for rewards, but Jie Zi Tui despised those who competed for rewards. He packed his clothes and quietly went to Mianshan Mountain to live in seclusion. When Duke Wen of Jin heard about it, he was so ashamed that he went to invite Jie Zi push in person, but Jie Zi push had already left his home and went to Mianshan Mountain. Mianshan mountain high and dangerous, dense trees, find two people how easy, some people offer a plan, from three sides of the fire Mianshan, forcing out the jie zi push. The fire burned all over the Mianshan Mountain, but did not see the figure of the meson push, after the fire went out, people realized that the back of his mother's meson push has been sitting under an old willow tree died. Jin Wendong see, mournful. When the coffin, from the hole in the tree found a bloody book, written on it: "cut meat to serve the king's heart, but I hope that the Lord is always clear." To commemorate Jie Zi Tui, Duke Wen of Jin ordered that this day be designated as the Cold Food Festival.

The next year, the Duke of Jin climbed a mountain to pay homage to Jie Zi Tui and found that the old willow tree had risen from the dead. He gave the old willow tree the name "Qingming Willow", and announced to the world that the day after the Cold Food Festival would be designated as the Qingming Festival.
