According to records, in the Tang Dynasty, because officials went back to their hometowns to sweep graves, they sometimes delayed their duty. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty issued a decree to solve the problem of holidays. Began to stipulate that the Cold Food Festival has a four-day holiday. In the sixth year of Zhenyuan (790), the holiday was increased to seven days. In this way, officials can calmly pay homage to the grave.
