Are Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival the same? What taboos should we pay attention to during Cold Food Festival?
Introduction: Cold Food Festival is an important traditional festival, and so is Qingming Festival. Both are days for worshiping ancestors and visiting graves. So are Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival the same? What taboos should we pay attention to during Cold Food Festival? Winter has gone and spring has come. February in the lunar calendar has already entered spring. Shuimoxiansheng.com provides you with more detailed information about February in the lunar calendar 2019!Are Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival the same?Qingming Festival and Cold Food Festival are often mentioned together in many ancient poems and modern sayings, but the differences and connections between the two make many people feel confusing.Folklorists believe that it took a long historical period for Qingming Festival and Cold Food Festival to go from being completely unrelated to each other to merging with each other, and the cultural basis for their evolution is the Chinese nation's habitual pursuit of stability in the inheritance of annual festivals. Folklore scholars believe that the relationship between Qingming Festival and Cold Food Festival has evolved through three stages: The first is the unrelated stage. Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, "Qingming Festival" merely referred to one of the 24 solar terms that distinguished the change of seasons and agricultural operations. The main event of the Cold Food Festival was that every household abstained from smoking and ate cold food, and the time was in the cold winter season. The second is the stage of mutual integration. During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the time of Cold Food Festival was set at the "one hundred and fifty" day after the winter solstice, only one or two days before Qingming Festival. In addition, the content of "visiting tombs on Cold Food Festival has gradually become a custom, and it is appropriate to visit tombs and perform the rituals of worship and sweeping together" was added. During the Liao, Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties, the main activities of the Cold Food Festival gradually changed from abstaining from smoking, eating cold food and tomb sweeping to entertainment activities such as outings. At this time, the Cold Food Festival activities were sometimes called "Cold Food" and sometimes called "Qingming Festival". The Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival were in a period of "you and me" and "mutual use". Third, the stage where Qingming Festival gradually replaced Cold Food Festival. As time went by, the main event of the Cold Food Festival - no smoking and eating cold food - gradually faded out, and the Cold Food Festival gradually began to be replaced by the Qingming Festival. By the Qing Dynasty, some popular activities of the Cold Food Festival were no longer popular, while folk tomb sweeping, official altars, and royal tombs became the main activities of the festival. During this period, although the name "Cold Food" still appeared from time to time in some documents, local chronicles and literary works, the name "Qingming" became the mainstream. What taboos should we pay attention to during the Cold Food Festival?People with bad stomachs should be careful when eating Qingtuan <br /> Qingtuan is indispensable for the Qingming Cold Food Festival. There are sugar-skinned, green-skinned and white-skinned Qingtuan. Qingtuan is mainly made of mugwort and glutinous rice. Glutinous rice is a very difficult ingredient to digest. People with bad stomachs should be careful when eating it, especially those with pancreatitis, gastritis, cholecystitis, gallstones, the elderly and children. Green rice dumplings should be eaten while hot. After cooling, the starch will age, which will not only make the taste worse, but also reduce the digestion and absorption rate, making it easy to get intestinal diseases.Qingtuan should not be eaten with a large amount of oil or irritating food, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach and intestines. It is best to eat it with vegetables rich in dietary fiber, yogurt with a bowel-regulating effect, or hawthorn which aids digestion. Stay away from contaminated wild vegetables <br /> During the Qingming Festival, many people take some wild vegetables from the roadside when they go outing or worship their ancestors. This is very common in the Jiangnan area. Wild vegetables are highly sought after in cities filled with fish and meat. Although wild vegetables are delicious, they should not be eaten indiscriminately. Some wild vegetables are poisonous. If they are wild vegetables grown on the roadside or near polluted canals, they contain heavy metals such as lead and mercury or other pollutants, and can cause poisoning after eating. In order to maintain the nutritional value of wild vegetables, experts recommend that they are best eaten by steaming, blanching, making soup or stuffing. When making cold wild vegetables, attention should also be paid to the hygiene of the processing process. The new wave of annual fortune in 2019 has already changed.
