Just pay attention to travel safety.《1》Legend of Laba Festival: ——Red beans to beat ghosts <br /> Laba Festival comes from the custom of "red beans to beat ghosts". Legend has it that Zhuanxu, one of the Five Ancient Emperors, had three sons who turned into evil ghosts after their death and specifically came out to scare children. In ancient times, people generally believed in superstitions and were afraid of ghosts and gods. They thought that strokes, illnesses, and poor health among adults and children were all caused by plague ghosts. These evil ghosts are not afraid of anything in the sky or on the earth, but they are afraid of red beans, hence the saying "red beans can fight ghosts". Therefore, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people cook porridge with red beans and adzuki beans to get rid of epidemics and welcome good luck. ——In Memory of Yue Fei: Laba Festival originated from people's remembrance of the loyal minister Yue Fei. In those days, Yue Fei led his troops to fight against the Jin army in Zhuxian Town. It was the coldest time of winter, and Yue's army was poorly fed and clothed, suffering from hunger and cold. The people came one after another to send them porridge. Yue's army had a hearty meal of "Thousands of Family Porridge" sent by the people, and returned with a great victory. That day was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. After Yue Fei's death, in order to commemorate him, people would cook porridge with grains, beans and fruits on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, and it eventually became a custom. ——In memory of the migrant workers who built the Great Wall: When Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, migrant workers from all over the country came here in response to his orders. They could not go home for many years and had to rely on their families to send them food. Some migrant workers were separated from their homes by thousands of miles and could not receive food, which resulted in many of them starving to death at the Great Wall construction site. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month one year, the migrant workers who had no food to eat gathered together a few handfuls of grains, put them in a pot and cooked them into porridge. Each person drank a bowl of it, but in the end they still starved to death at the foot of the Great Wall. In order to mourn the workers who starved to death on the Great Wall construction site, people eat "Laba porridge" on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year to commemorate them. 《2》Travel: (tourism and travel) ——Traveling is observing the scenery and things around you, walking thousands of miles, reading thousands of books.
