Why do you want to drink Qingming water in the morning of Qingming Festival

According to historical records, in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago, Chong'er, the prince of the Jin Kingdom, fled abroad and lived a hard life, and Jie Zitui, who followed him, did not hesitate to cut off a piece of meat from his leg to satisfy his hunger. Later, Chong'er returned to the Jin State and became the monarch (that is, Jin Wengong, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, and rewarded all the entourages who followed him in exile, but Jie Zi Tui refused to accept the reward, he took his mother to live in seclusion in Mianshan, and refused to come out, Jin Wen Gong had nothing to do, so he had to set fire to the mountain, he thought, Jie Zi Tui was filial to his mother, and he would definitely take his mother out. Who knew that this fire burned Jie Zitui's mother and son to death.

In order to commemorate Jie Zitui, Jin Wengong ordered that on this day every year, it is forbidden to light fires, and every household can only eat raw and cold food, which is the ** of the Cold Food Festival. The cold food festival is the day before the Qingming Festival, and the ancients often extended the activities of the cold food festival to the Qingming Festival. And drinking Qingming water has also become a folk custom.

China's traditional Qingming Festival began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Qingming is a very important solar term at the beginning, Qingming arrives, the temperature rises, it is a good season for spring plowing and spring planting, so there is "before and after Qingming, planting melons and beans". "Afforestation, no better than Qingming" agricultural proverb.

Later, because the day of Qingming and cold food is close, and cold food is the day of the folk ban on fire and tomb sweeping, gradually, cold food and Qingming will become one, and cold food has become another name for Qingming, but also has become a custom of Qingming season, no fireworks on the day of Qingming, only eat cold food.

Qingming Festival is held on April 4 or 5 every year. This period of time is rainy and humid, which is easy to make people feel tired and drowsy, and the cold and warm weather is also easy to make people cold and cold, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia and so on. Spring is also the season when respiratory infections such as diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, chickenpox, whooping cough, and encephalitis are common.

After Qingming, a variety of chronic diseases are easy to eat, such as mental illness, arthritis, asthma, etc., people with chronic diseases should avoid eating food-prone foods during this period of time, such as marine fish, sea crabs, shrimps, bamboo shoots, hairy bamboo shoots, pickles, roosters, mutton, etc., so as to avoid old diseases.
