Cold Food Festival。

寒食節

The Cold Food Festival or Hanshi Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated for one day before Tomb-Sweeping Day. On that day, making fire is taboo and only cold food is available.

寒食節是中國一個傳統節日，就在清明節的前一天。在這一天，禁煙火，只吃冷食。

Legend has it that Prince Chong’er of the state of Jin during the Spring and Autumn period, endured many hardships while he was exiled from his home state. Once, in order to help the prince who was tormented by hunger, Jie Zhitui cut off the flesh from his thigh and offered it to the prince for sustenance.

傳說晉國的王子重耳(后來的晉文公)在流放期間受了很多苦難。一次，為了幫助這位王子，介子推曾經割股為他充饑。

When Chong’er became Duke Wen of Jin, however, he did not reward him, instead killing Jie and his mother in a fire. Later, Duke Wen, filled with remorse, ordered that using fire on the anniversary of Jie’s death was forbidden and all food was to be consumed cold.

晉文公歸國為君后，卻忘記了獎賞他，相反卻放火殺死了介子推和其母。后來，晉文公感到十分后悔，為了紀念這位忠臣義士，于是在介子推死難之日不生火做飯，要吃冷食。
