What is Laba?

Since ancient times, Laba Festival has been a sacrificial ceremony for worshiping ancestors and gods (including door gods, household gods, house gods, kitchen gods, and well gods) to pray for a good harvest and good luck. According to the "Book of Rites: Suburban Sacrifices", the La Festival is "in the twelfth month of the year, when all things are gathered together and offered a feast." The La Day was called "Jiaping" in the Xia Dynasty, "Qingsi" in the Shang Dynasty and "Dala" in the Zhou Dynasty; because it was held in December, that month was called the La Month and the day of the La Festival was called the La Day. In the pre-Qin period, Laba Festival was on the third Xu day after the winter solstice. Later, when Buddhism was introduced to China, in order to expand its influence in the local area, the traditional culture was used to designate Laba Festival as the day of Buddha's enlightenment. Later, as Buddhism became popular, the Buddha's Enlightenment Day was merged with the La Festival, and it was called the "Dharma Treasure Festival" in the Buddhist field. It was not until the Northern and Southern Dynasties that it was fixed on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
