The main customs can be divided into the following aspects: 1. No Smoking and Cold Food: Cold Food Festival was also called "No Smoking Festival" in ancient times. Everyone is forbidden to make a fire and eat cold food. However, due to the persistent pursuit of sages by Chinese people, it was repeatedly banned from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it was recognized and participated by the royal family. 2. ancestor worship: the cold food festival was regarded as a "wild sacrifice" from the southern and northern dynasties to the Tang dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was included in Volume 87 of "Opening Ethan", which was worshipped by princes (cold food worship) and became one of the auspicious gifts officially recognized and advocated. Later, it evolved into a royal mausoleum; Official sacrifices to Confucius Temple and sages; People go to sweep graves and so on. At that time, a family or a clan went to the ancestral grave to offer sacrifices, add soil and hang paper money, then sprinkled swallows and snakes and rabbits on the top of the grave, rolled them down, put them on with willow branches or needles, and put them high in the room to show their ancestors' virtue. 3, cold food diet: cold food includes cold porridge, cold noodles, cold food pulp, green rice, glutinous rice; Cold food offerings include noodles, snakes and rabbits, jujube cakes, refined rye, immortals, etc. There are dozens of drinks, such as spring wine, fresh tea, clear spring and sweet water. Most of them have profound implications, such as offering sacrifices to snakes and rabbits, which means that "snakes and rabbits will be rich", meaning that people are expected to be rich and the country is strong; Zituiyan, take the word "nian" in Jiexiu dialect, and don't forget to introduce and promote honesty. 4. Cold food willow: the symbol of vitamin cold food festival, originally intended to miss Jie Zhitui's pursuit of political clarity. As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a record in the Chronicle of Jingchu that "every family broke willow during the cold food between Jianghuai and Suzhou", and it is still popular to wear mustard flowers and wheat leaves instead of willow branches in Anhui, Suzhou and other places. According to historical records in various places, there are some sayings, such as "willow branches are inserted into graves", "willow branches are folded into households", "willow branches are inserted into the eaves of sleeping stoves", "wearing a head or a tie", "offering Buddha gods in bottles" and "willow branches are inserted into doors", so there is a saying among the people that "Qingming (cold food) does not wear willow, and the beauty becomes bald". Cold food festival outing

Cold food outing: also known as spring outing, Sheng Xing in Tang and Song Dynasties. Song Lizhi's words "What I saw in the East Valley" say: "I swept things, and then I went home happily with my brother, wife, relatives and deeds." In the Ming Dynasty, a brief introduction to the scenery of emperors recorded the scene of walking in Beijing: "During the Qingming Festival, people were walking, and there were thousands of tourists, passengers and pedestrians." Can be said to be extremely prosperous. 6. Cold food swing: The swing was originally a palace women's amusement project of the ancient cold food festival. Wang Renyu's "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy" in the Five Dynasties recorded that "the Tianbao Palace Mid-solstice Cold Food Festival actually erected a swing, which made the wives and concubines in the palace laugh and thought it was a feast. The emperor called it a semi-fairy play, so the scholars in the capital called it. " Wen Yanbo, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, wrote the poem "Cold Food Day Crossing the Dragon Gate", which is described as "the willow on the bridge hangs on a line and hangs more colorful ropes." 7, cold food Cuju: popular in the Tang Dynasty, Song's "Literature General Examination" contains: "Cuju, Gai began in the Tang Dynasty. Plant two bamboos, several feet high, and wrap the net on the net to measure the ball for the door. The ball is divided into friends and friends, and the game is divided into corners. " Historical records: Tang Dezong, Xianzong, Mu Zong and Jing Zong all like to play cuju. Yuan Guizai, the state capital, said: "In February of the twelfth year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dezong, the Imperial Palace East Pavilion, the great ministers and the sons and daughters of Xunqi met the ball and held a banquet for the ministers to be slaughtered." In the Song Dynasty, there was "Taizu Cuju Map". 8. Poems of Cold Food Festival: During the Cold Food Festival, the literati homesick for their relatives, or made love through the scenery, with many feelings, sudden inspiration, great poetry and many chanters. According to the survey, The Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty alone contains more than 300 poems by famous people such as Tang Xuanzong, Zhang Shuo, Du Fu, Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan, and more than 100 poems in the Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, making it a wonderful work in Chinese poetry art. In addition, during the Cold Food Festival, there are many activities, such as banquets, flower viewing, cockfighting, egg carving, tug-of-war, drilling wood for fire, flying kites, shooting herbs, throwing pottery and so on, which greatly enriched the social life in ancient China. 9. Clearing intestines in spring: Generally speaking, the first thing for bears in the wild after hibernation is to find some grass to eat in spring. Because grass is rich in cellulose, it is easy to have diarrhea when eaten. The bear cleaned up the waste accumulated in his stomach for a winter before eating. Zoologists say that before spring diarrhea, bears are often depressed, but once they are well conditioned, they will be happy. Is the food structure arrangement of this Cold Food Festival very similar to the bear's diarrhea method? For example, cold rice noodles, a lot of vinegar, and a lot of bean sprouts and shredded cucumber are rich in cellulose, which is most suitable for cleaning the stomach. Judging from the diet structure of Chinese people, they ate a lot of fish and meat during the Spring Festival. When the weather starts to get warmer, they should clean their stomachs like bears. Not only can you keep fit, but you can also make your mind clear and solve the problem of lack of spring. Picking wild vegetables during the cold food festival not only exercises the body, but also meets the needs of the human body, killing two birds with one stone. So the Cold Food Festival is very reasonable, which is why it was once officially banned, but its vitality is really tenacious. Although it has been renamed Qingming, its shadow is still there. Finally, I want to talk about psychological adjustment in spring health preservation. As I said before, women can prevent mental illness by hanging out and hooking up with boys at the Cold Food Festival. Although men don't hurt spring, they are prone to mental disorders due to excessive liver qi in spring. Remembering our ancestors and mourning have played a role in suppressing anger. Conditioning the liver is quite beneficial.
