I will cut off my flesh to show my devotion to you. I hope that my lord will always be clear and clear. It is better to be a ghost under a willow tree and never see it again than to accompany you as a remonstrator. If your lord has me in your heart, remember me and always reflect on yourself. I have a clear conscience in Jiuquan, and I work diligently to keep the Qingming and the Qingming.
Jie Zitui, also known as Jie Zitui, respected by later generations as Jie Zi, was a native of Jin State (now Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province) during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was born in Hutou Village, Wenxi, and grew up in Peijie Village, Xia County. Because of " His feats of "cutting off his stock to serve the emperor" and living in seclusion "not talking about his salary" are deeply missed by the world. After his death, he was buried in Mianshan, Jiexiu. Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, felt deeply guilty, so he changed Mianshan Mountain to Jieshan Mountain and built a temple to offer sacrifices. This gave rise to the "Cold Food Festival" (the day before Qingming Festival). Poets and literati of the past dynasties left a large number of poems in memory of the event.
Meson’s character of pushing loyal emperors to serve righteousness and despising fame and fortune will be remembered for generations and is deeply touching. Later generations not only created a "Cold Food Festival" to commemorate him, but also built a large number of ancestral halls and temples to commemorate him. There were countless literati who came to visit and express their feelings. This kind of praise has lasted for thousands of years, and its quiet moral education has made people form a kind of "collective unconsciousness" without thinking, so that few people cast a careful eye on Jie Zitui's actions. .
