What is the Cold Food Festival

The poem "Cold Food" describes the festival of cold food.

Cold Eclipse

Author: Han Shide (swarm)

There is no place where flowers don't fly in the spring city, and the east wind of the cold eclipse makes the willow slant.

The candles were passed to the Han Palace at sunset, and the light smoke was scattered into the houses of the five marquis.

Notes

1. Cold Food Festival: The Cold Food Festival is held one hundred and five days after the winter solstice every year, probably two days before the Qingming Festival. According to the biography of Zuozhuan, Duke Wen of Jin burned the forest to beg Jie Zhi Tui, but did not expect him to be burned alive by hugging a large tree, the people of Jin in order to mourn him, every year on this day to ban the fire, and only eat cold food, so it is called Cold Food.
