There is such a story in New Theory. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Er, the son of the Jin Dynasty, was exiled, tired and hungry. He cut meat and cooked soup for his son, and Zhong Er gradually recovered his spirit. Nineteen years later, Zhong Er became the monarch, that is, Jin Wengong. Wen Gong rewarded the hero after he ascended the throne, but forgot to recommend him. Jiezitui despises merits and rewards, packs his bags and quietly goes to Mianshan with his mother.
Hearing this, Jin Wengong was ashamed and personally took someone to ask Jiexiu, but Jiexiu had left home for Mianshan. Some people put forward the plan of burning Mianshan on three sides and forcing out mesons. The fire burned all over Mianshan, but there was no meson push. After the fire went out, people found that Jiezitui, who was carrying his old mother, had sat under an old willow tree and died.
Jin Wengong cried. When I was buried, I found a bloody book in a tree hole, which said, "May my Lord be clear forever." In order to commemorate meson push, Jin Wengong ordered that this day be designated as "Cold Food Festival". The following year, Jin Wengong led ministers to climb mountains to pay homage. He found that the old willow was dead and resurrected, so he gave it the title of "Qingming Willow" and told the world, so he named the day after the Cold Food Festival "Tomb-Sweeping Day".

Hooking is an ancient name, but it is actually a modern tug-of-war movement. According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to attack the State of Wu, the State of Chu used the hook movement to enhance people's physique. It is mainly based on a hemp rope, and its two ends are divided into many small ropes. In the competition, a big flag is the boundary. At the command, the two sides pulled the rope hard, and the drums sounded with the music. The two sides cheered and shouted, which was very lively.

Flying kites is one of people's favorite activities in Tomb-Sweeping Day. The ancients believed that kites were tied with ropes and released in the air. When it flies high in the sky, the thread is cut, and the troubles will fly away with the kite. Later, kites gradually developed into a popular outing entertainment.
