Cold Food Festival is a     1       (tradition) Chinese holiday celebrated before Qingming Festival, which usually falls on April 4 or 5.

Legend has     2     that Chong'er, a prince of Jin, experienced many hardships while he moved around the warring states. Once, when the prince suffered from     3     (starve), Jie Zitui, offered him food. Later, when Chong'er became the duke of Jin, he ordered a search for Jie who had gone into hiding in the remote mountains with his mother. The duke wanted Jie to serve     4     one of his ministers. Contrary to     5    many people might assume, Jie, who preferred living a simple life in the Mianshan Mountain to     6     (become) a politician, refused the duke's invitation. Chong'er ordered the mountain to be burned down to force Jie out of hiding.     7     (fortune), Jie did not give in and the fire ended up killing him and his mother. Feeling extremely sorry, Chong'er required that the setting of fire     8     (forbid) on the anniversary of Jie's death. This meant all food was eaten cold. Therefore the festival is thus named.

Mianshan Mountain,     9    the tragedy happened, is now a famous tourist destination in Shanxi province. In many areas of Shanxi, locals still remember this tradition.     10    cold food is not the only choice for people during the celebration, the practices of making typical cold dishes for the event have been preserved.
