A Good Place To Go In Early Spring -- Mian Shan

In March, spring is bright, and vegetation is sprouting. It's a good season for outing. Where are you going to see the spring scenery?

If you haven't thought about it, I'll recommend you a good place -- Mian Shan.

Speaking of Mian Shan, it is also the birthplace of "Qingming Festival".

Here is a moving historical legend.

In the spring and Autumn period of 636 BC, Li Ji, a concubine of the Jin Dynasty, tried to harm the prince and Shen's son, and to support the younger son, Mo Qi.

Jie Zhong and other loyal ministers know that they will protect the heavy ear from the refuge of Jin State.

One day, they lost their way in the deep mountains and forests of the Wei state. They were tired and hungry. They could not walk. When the heavy ears were dead, they pushed them into the ravines, cut a piece of meat from their legs, and cooked them to the heavy ears with the picked wild vegetables.

When the heavy ears were eaten, they were very moved when they knew that the meat was pushing on their legs. They said with tears in their eyes, "never forget the great mercy of" cutting the stock and offering the king ", and promised that they would not forget their feelings after the succession.

The meson pushes back and answers, "I do not ask you to repay in the future, but you care about the people and become a clear and clear ruler."

After nineteen years of exile with the chancellor, he pushed back to the throne with the help of the Chinese people and the Qin state.

When the car entered the country quickly, the heavy ears threw away the broken mat that had been used in exile.

Jie Zi picked up the broken seats and quietly returned to the old village of Pei Jie village in Xia County to honor her mother.

Heavy ear has gone through a lot of hardships, and finally became a king, becoming one of the famous five heroes in the spring and Autumn period of China.

When he was in power, when he was a minister, he received high officials and rich officials.

Reminded by the minister, Jin Wen Gong came to realize that he was very regretful, and felt sorry for pushing the minister. He ordered the whole nation to look for mesons.

He did not want to be an official again, and his mother went to live in a beautiful mountain cave, cloak and cold.

It was soon known by Jin Wen Gong and immediately personally led the ministers to Mian Shan's visit.

Jin Wen Gong went to Mian Shan, and sent people up the mountain to call. Only the valley echoes.

At this time, Jin Wen Gong was anxious to see him pushing. He thought he was a filial son. If he burned the mountain, he would push his mother to death.

As a result, the fire had been burning for many days and no signs of meson pushing were seen.

In the meantime, Jin Wen Gong went to the mountains to search for him. He could not find the remains and objects of his son and mother. After that, half a broken mat was found in the cave of the half mountain rock.

Jin Wen Gong took a look at the mat, and saw that he wrote "cutting meat and giving loyalty to the king, and I hope the Lord will appreciate it."

After seeing it, Jin Wen Gong felt very guilty and grieved.

Ordered to pform Mian Shan into Jie Shan, and set a hill as his nominal fief, Jie Gong Ling, which pformed the cave that was pushed by the son and son into a public shrine, and set up a "Temple" at the cypress forest in the south of the village of paigu village at the foot of Mian mountain, and renamed the Jiexiu County of Ding Yang county.

He also ordered the attendants to pick up a few pieces of wood from the burning forest and make a pair of wooden shoes for himself.

Every day when he went to the court, he put on wooden shoes and walked in the palace hall. He was so loud that he reminded himself to look at his feet as if he had seen him. Later, people called the most loyal and respected friends "feet".

The day when Emperor Wen Gong burned mount Mian was on "Qingming Festival".

Jin Wen Gong is very sentimental, so that the whole country can not fire and smoke, and the Qingming Festival is also known as the "cold food festival".

The descendants yearn for reverence for the sake of Jie Zi. Every time "Qingming" does not raise fire, cold food for one month, and then gradually reduces to three days.

The "cold food festival" has been handed down since then.

Over the past more than 2600 years, more and more people have been worshiping "Jie Zi" to promote the cold food and Qingming Festival.

Jiexiu's Mian mountain, the original place of cold food and Qingming Festival, has been built for more than ten years. Cold food and loyalty culture have become the unique cultural heritage of Mian mountain scenic spot; the grottoes' public shrine has become a tourist resort for tens of millions of people to pass the cold food festival, climb the mountains and go to the sea to experience the culture of Zhong Zi's loyalty and filial piety.
