Is Laba Festival a festival or a solar term?

Laba Festival is an important traditional festival rather than a solar term!
Laba Festival, commonly known as "Laba", is held on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year. It is mainly popular in northern my country. The custom of this festival is "drinking Laba porridge".

Laba is one of the grand festivals in Buddhism. This day is the day when Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment. It is also known as the "Dharma Treasure Festival", "Buddha's Enlightenment Festival", and "Enlightenment Conference".
The word "Laba" originated from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when it was also called "La Day". It was originally a Buddhist festival, but after generations of evolution, it gradually became a household folk festival.

The Origin of Laba Festival in Ancient India

According to legend, in the northern part of ancient India, which is the southern part of Nepal, there was a king named Suddhodana in the Kingdom of Kapilavastu. He had a son named Gautama Siddhartha. When he was young, he felt the various sufferings of birth, aging, sickness and death in the world, found that social life was futile, and was extremely dissatisfied with the theocracy of Brahmanism. So, at the age of 29, he gave up the luxurious life of the royal family, became a monk, studied yoga, and practiced asceticism for 6 years. Around 525 BC, one day, he attained enlightenment under a bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya and founded Buddhism. According to historical records, this day was the eighth day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. Since he was a member of the Sakya clan, Buddhists later respectfully called him Sakyamuni, which means the saint of the Sakya clan. After Buddhism was introduced into my country, temples were built in various places and the activity of cooking porridge to worship Buddha became popular. Especially on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the day to commemorate the Buddha's enlightenment, all temples would hold sutra chanting sessions and cook porridge to worship Buddha, imitating the legendary ritual of the shepherdess offering a kind of "chyle" before the Buddha's enlightenment. This is the origin of Laba porridge.
