It is sticky, delicious, nutritious and easy to digest and absorb. The flavors of Laba porridge in the north and south of China vary.

After a week, the garlic turns green, tastes sour and spicy, and the vinegar has a garlic aroma.

Seal the cylinder mouth and do not open it midway. Keep at room temperature until New Year’s Eve. The Laba vegetables are white with a hint of green, crisp and refreshing, sour with a hint of sweetness and a slight spicy taste. Laba Festival Customs - Eating Laba Noodles In the Guanzhong area of Shaanxi, there is a custom of eating Laba noodles on Laba Festival. The method of making Laba noodles is to make saozi with eight kinds of vegetables and pour chili oil on the noodles.

Laba Festival Customs-Laba Coming of Age Ceremony On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Naxi people in western Yunnan hold a coming-of-age ceremony for boys and girls who are 13 years old or older. The ceremony was presided over by the matriarch. At the beginning of the ceremony, they first worship the ancestral tablet beside the fire pit. Then the boy touches the male pillar on the left side of the fire pit with his left hand, and his parents take off his long gown and change him into trousers. The girl touches the female pillar on the right side with her right hand, holds a silver coin in her left hand, and puts her feet on two rice bags, which is a sign of abundant life and prosperous production in the future. Her parents take off her long gown and change her into a skirt. After the coming-of-age ceremony, boys and girls become adults. Laba Festival Customs - Playing the Laba Drum An old proverb goes: "When the La drum sounds, spring grass grows." The Chinese people have had the custom of beating the La drum since ancient times. Usually on the La Day, or the day before the La Day, villagers would gather and beat drums to drive away the plague. At that time, people put on masks, dress up as Vajra Warriors, beat waist drums, sing and dance loudly, to show their hope of driving away evil spirits and welcoming the New Year. In the old days, agricultural production was backward, and delivering fertilizer and keeping warm in winter were important measures to ensure a good harvest in the following year. Therefore, beating the La drum on the La day also has the meaning of beating the drum to urge the spring of spring. As the saying goes: "The La Festival encourages farmers to work hard." After the La Festival, farmers are busy transporting fertilizers to the fields and begin to prepare for the farming in the new year.
