      Later Chong'er felt so guilty that he went to the mountains to look for Jie Zitui.Since it was impossible to find him among the endless trees and hills，Chong'er ordered that the mountain be set on fire to force Jie Zitui out.But he and his mother were found dead against a large tree.
      In order to keep the memory of Jie Zitui，Chong'er ordered that no fires be allowed on the anniversary of Jie Zimi's death.So people began to eat cold food on that day，and the day was called Hanshi.In addition，people began to visit Jie Zitui's tomb and pay their respects.It was not until the Qing Dynasty，that the practice of Hanshi was replaced by that of Qingming And Qingming has now become an important occasion for people to offer remembrances and Sacrifices to their ancestors.
