Historical celebrities

In 606 B.C., Chong'er, who had been exiled for 19 years, returned to the state of Jin and inherited the throne as King Wen of Jin. He feasted on the officials and granted rewards to his followers. However, among the officials who won the prize, Chong Er, Duke Wen of Jin Dynasty, forgot to give a favor to Jie Zitui. But at this time, Jie Zitui forgot his old minister when he saw Duke Wen of Jin ascended the throne, and his colleagues were fighting for officials and meritorious service. He felt disgusted and accompanied his mother to live in seclusion in Mianshan. Jin Wengong sent many envoys to invite him, but he did not return. So he went to Mianshan in person to invite him. When Jie Zitui heard about it, he lived in seclusion deeper in the mountain forest. Seeing that he could not come back, Duke Wen of Jin had a plan. He said to his servants, "burn the plants on the mountain on three sides, leave one side for exit, and force him to go down the mountain. "But the fire burned for a long time, and finally did not see the figure of Jie Zitui. Until the fire went out, we found the burnt corpse of Jie Zitui's mother and son. Seeing this miserable scene, Duke Wen of Jin burst into tears and regretted.
In order to express his gratitude for Jie Zitui's life-saving kindness and loyalty, Duke Wen of Jin named Mianshan "Jie Shan". It is ordered that the villagers here are not allowed to make a fire for cooking for three days during the Qingming Festival every year, and sacrifice Jie Zitui in the fields at the foot of the mountain as a memorial. Later, it is called "cold food festival" and has been handed down to this day.
