Why do we eat Laba porridge on Laba Festival?

The origin of the custom of eating Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is related to the story of Buddha's enlightenment.
Therefore, Li Fu, a scholar from Suzhou in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "The porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was passed down from the Brahma Kingdom. It is a blend of seven treasures and five fragrant flavors." The custom of eating Laba porridge on Laba Festival originated from Buddhism. The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment. In order not to forget the sufferings that Buddha endured before he attained enlightenment, and also to commemorate the Buddha's enlightenment on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the ancient Indians ate mixed porridge on this day as a commemoration.
Ever since Buddhism was introduced to China from ancient India, temples have made porridge with fragrant grains and fruits and presented it to disciples and believers. On this day, temples hold ceremonies, imitating the story of the shepherdess offering gruel to the Buddha before his enlightenment. People cook porridge with fragrant grains and fruits to offer to the Buddha, which is called Laba porridge.
In some temples, monks hold bowls and beg for alms on the streets before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. They cook the collected rice, chestnuts, dates, nuts, etc. into Laba porridge and distribute it to the poor. People believed that eating it could gain Buddha’s blessing, so poor people called it “Buddha porridge”. Generally, the Buddhist porridge in the temple is delicious and plentiful to meet the needs of the devout believers who come to the temple to attend memorial ceremonies.
Some believers come specifically for the "porridge", believing that the porridge offered to Buddha on Laba Festival is auspicious, and not only eat it themselves, but also take it home for their families to enjoy.
Year after year, the tradition of making Laba porridge in temples spread widely among the people, and thus the custom of drinking Laba porridge during the "Laba Festival" gradually formed in northern my country.
Laba Festival customs: Laba tofu Laba tofu is one of the traditional folk snacks in Yixian County, Anhui Province, and a festival food custom. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, every household will dry tofu, and people call this dried tofu "Laba tofu". The production method of "Laba Tofu" is to first make tofu with high-quality small soybeans, and cut it into round or square blocks, then spread salt water on it, dig a small hole in the middle of the upper part, put in an appropriate amount of salt, and slowly bake it under the mild winter sun so that the salt is gradually absorbed and the moisture is gradually dried, and Laba Tofu is ready. The finished product is as yellow and smooth as jade, soft when eaten, and tastes salty and sweet, fragrant and fresh. If you add dried shrimps and other ingredients during the drying process, the taste will be better. "Laba tofu" is usually hung with straw ropes in a ventilated place to dry, and picked when eaten. It can generally be kept for three months without deteriorating or changing taste.
It can be eaten alone or stir-fried or stewed with meat. When entertaining distinguished guests, people in Yi County would carve it into animals and flowers, pour sesame oil on it, mix it with onion, ginger, garlic and other condiments, and serve it as a cold dish, which became a delicacy for banquets.
