What is the legend of Laba Festival?Legend of Laba porridge: Legend has it that Laba Festival comes from the custom of "beating ghosts with red beans". Legend has it that Zhuanxu, one of the Five Ancient Emperors, had three sons who turned into evil ghosts after their death and specifically came out to scare children. In ancient times, people generally believed in superstitions and were afraid of ghosts and gods. They thought that strokes, illnesses, and poor health among adults and children were all caused by plague ghosts. These evil ghosts are not afraid of anything in the sky or on the earth, but they are afraid of red beans, hence the saying "red beans can fight ghosts". Therefore, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people cook porridge with red beans and adzuki beans to get rid of epidemics and welcome good luck. The legend of Laba porridge is that Laba Festival is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The legend originated in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang was in prison and suffering, it was a cold day. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was cold and hungry, actually dug out some red beans, rice, red dates and seven or eight kinds of grains from the rat hole in the prison. Zhu Yuanzhang cooked these things into porridge. Because that day was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Yuanzhang named this pot of multi-grain porridge "Laba porridge". Enjoyed a delicious meal. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world and became the emperor. In order to commemorate that special day in prison, he designated that day as Laba Festival and officially named the multi-grain porridge he ate that day as Laba porridge. The third legend of Laba porridge is that Laba Festival originated from people's remembrance of the loyal minister Yue Fei. In those days, Yue Fei led his troops to fight against the Jin army in Zhuxian Town. It was the coldest time of winter, and Yue's army was poorly fed and clothed, suffering from hunger and cold. The people came one after another to send them porridge. Yue's army had a hearty meal of "Thousands of Family Porridge" sent by the people, and returned with a great victory. That day was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. After Yue Fei's death, in order to commemorate him, people would cook porridge with grains, beans and fruits on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, and it eventually became a custom. The legend of Laba porridge is that when Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, migrant workers from all over the world came here in response to orders. They could not go home for many years and relied on their families to send them food. Some migrant workers were separated from their homes by thousands of miles and could not receive food, which resulted in many of them starving to death at the Great Wall construction site. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month one year, the migrant workers who had no food to eat gathered together a few handfuls of grains, put them in a pot and cooked them into porridge. Each person drank a bowl of it, but in the end they still starved to death at the foot of the Great Wall. In order to mourn the workers who starved to death on the Great Wall construction site, people eat "Laba porridge" on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year to commemorate them. Legend of Laba Porridge: According to the legend, an old couple lived a hard-working and frugal life, and saved a fortune. However, their beloved son was not ambitious, and his wife was not virtuous, so they soon lost their family fortune. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the couple was freezing and hungry. Fortunately, the villagers and neighbors helped them and cooked a pot of "mixed porridge" made of rice, noodles, beans, and vegetables. It means: "Eat a bowl of mixed porridge and remember the lesson." This porridge helped the young couple get rid of their bad habits, get back on the right track, and support their family through hard work, and their lives got better day by day. The custom of eating porridge on Laba Festival is popular among the people. It is passed down by people in order to use this lesson to warn future generations.Marriage is one of the most important things in life, and the traditional method of matching marriages is still very practical.
