Historical evolution

It is said that during the spring and Autumn period, Jie Zitui, an aristocrat of the state of Jin, fled with Chong'er for more than ten years. When he was hungry, he cut off his thigh meat for Chong'er to eat. After returning to the throne, Duke Wen of Jin took his mother to live in seclusion in Mianshan. He sent people to look for him. In order to force him to go to the mountain, he set fire to the mountain, but burned Jie Zitui and his mother to death. Wen Gong learned that he was so sad and angry that he ordered Mianshan to be changed into Jieshan and Yangxian to be changed into Jiexiu. And "ring Mianshan mountain and seal it, as jietui field", to show nostalgia. On the day before the Qingming Festival, that is, the day when Jie Zitui was burned, no fire was allowed. Every family could only eat cold food, which was called "cold food festival".

As early as the spring and Autumn period, there were Taoist activities in Mianshan. Jiezitui, as one of the pioneers of Taoism, has been honored as Jieshan because of his indifference to fame and wealth and selfless dedication. In the biography of the immortals written by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty, Jie Zitui has been revered as a Taoist God. According to Li Daoyuan's shuijingzhu in the Northern Wei Dynasty, shitongshui, or mianshui, comes from Mianshan in Jiexiu county and flows through the west of shitongsi. Shitong temple is the ancestral hall of jiezitui. Later generations went to Mianshan to explore the ancient, to visit the sages, and to pay homage to the sages. In 2008, Mianshan was named "the hometown of cold food culture during the Qingming Festival" by the China Association for democracy and people's livelihood.
