What festival is cold clothes? Brief introduction of cold clothes festival.

1. There are many versions about the origin of the Cold Clothes Festival. It is said that the earliest one originated in La Worship in the Zhou Dynasty, and held a grand sacrifice on this day, which happened to be the first day of October in the lunar calendar. Later, it was recorded in The Book of Songs, Yu Ling Ji in Tang Dynasty, Miscellaneous Notes in Song Dynasty and Jingshi Spring Festival couplets in Ming Dynasty. Seal a book at night, add five-color satin to make a crown with clothes and shoes, burn it outside the door, and say that you want to send cold clothes. "

2. As a matter of fact, the records of people's "sacrifice" and "dressing, boots, shoes, seats, hats and clothes" in the northern region did not appear in the local chronicles of scholars until the Song Dynasty. If the Cold Clothes Festival was formed in the pre-Qin period, it is difficult to make a reasonable explanation for the blank of folk records in the north for such a long time. Therefore, some people infer that the formation of the custom of Cold Clothes Festival will not be earlier than the Song Dynasty. Some people think that the ritual sweeping and burning wasteland evolved from the custom of sweeping new graves in early October in the south of the Yangtze River.

3. Hanyi Festival, the first day of October in the lunar calendar every year, is also called "October Dynasty", "Ancestor Festival", "Ghost Festival" and "Autumn Festival". People call it Ghost Festival, which is a traditional sacrificial festival of Han people. According to legend, it originated in the Zhou Dynasty, and actually formed not earlier than the Song Dynasty. The Cold Clothes Festival is popular in northern China, and many northerners will offer sacrifices on this day to commemorate their deceased relatives. This is called sending cold clothes. Northerners in China refer to the Cold Clothes Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day in spring and Mid-Autumn Festival on July 15 as the three "ghost festivals" in China.
