Laba rice is also a traditional food for Laba Festival. Many places still retain the custom of eating Laba rice on this day. There is a custom of eating Laba rice on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Laba originated from the ancient Chinese La Festival ceremony, during which farmers offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and other gods during the annual twelfth lunar month when they are off-season to celebrate the year's harvest and pray for a good harvest in the coming year. Nowadays, people make Laba rice with the grains and dried fruits they harvested to celebrate the fruits of a year's hard work and pray for a good harvest in the coming year. Among them, Ningxia's Laba rice is the most famous. Laba rice is usually made by cooking various beans with rice and potatoes, and then adding "wheat ears" cut into diamond-shaped willow leaves with wheat flour or buckwheat flour, or "sparrow heads" made into small round eggs, and then adding chopped green onion oil before serving. Just like in northern Shaanxi, the whole family only eats Laba rice and no vegetables on this day. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, every household cooks Laba rice. The elders scoop a large bowl of the cooked Laba rice and put it in the cupboard. When they cook rice the next day, they scoop a spoonful of the rice into the newly cooked rice and eat it until the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. This is meant to ensure that the rice can be eaten endlessly throughout the next year.The origin of Laba Festival and its Buddhist interpretationThe founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, whose real name was Siddhartha Gautama, was the son of King Suddhodana of Kapilavastu in northern ancient India (now in Nepal). When he was young, he saw that all living beings were suffering from birth, old age, sickness and death. In order to seek the true meaning of life and liberation from life and death, he gave up his royal life and became a monk. He practiced asceticism in the snow mountains for six years, often eating only one grain of wheat and one grain of hemp a day. Later, he found that blind asceticism was not the way to liberation, so he gave up asceticism and went down the mountain. At this time, a shepherdess saw that he was very weak, so she boiled chyle (made by cooking milk and grains) to feed him. Sakyamuni's physical strength was thus restored, and he then entered into meditation under the Bodhi tree for seven days. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, he saw a star at night and attained enlightenment and became a Buddha. In order to remember the six years of suffering that the 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. Therefore, Laba Festival was introduced to China from ancient India, and Laba became the Buddha's enlightenment day. Based on this, Buddhist temples in Han areas commemorate it on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year. 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 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 "Laba Festival" was born.The new year of 2020 has already begun.
