Why do we drink Laba porridge on Laba Festival?Since the pre-Qin period, Laba Festival has been used to worship ancestors and gods and pray for a good harvest and good luck. It is said that before Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, became a Buddha, he practiced asceticism for many years and became emaciated due to hunger. He decided not to practice asceticism anymore. At this time, he met a shepherdess who gave him chyle to eat. After eating the chyle, he recovered his strength and sat under the Bodhi tree in meditation. He became enlightened on December 8, which is called "Buddha's Enlightenment Day".Buddhist temples hold sutra chanting ceremonies on this day and, following the legend of the shepherdess who offered gruel to the Buddha before he attained enlightenment, make porridge with fragrant grains and fruits to offer to the Buddha. There is a custom of eating Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The history of drinking Laba porridge in my country has been more than one thousand years. It first started in the Song Dynasty. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people from the imperial court, government offices, temples and ordinary households all make Laba porridge. By the Qing Dynasty, the custom of drinking Laba porridge became even more popular. In the palace, the emperor, empress, princes, etc. would give Laba porridge to civil and military ministers, attendants and palace maids, and distribute rice, fruits, etc. to various temples for the monks to eat. In the folks, every household also makes Laba porridge to worship their ancestors; at the same time, the family gathers together to eat it and give gifts to relatives and friends. The twelfth lunar month is the end of the year. In ancient times, people had nothing to do during the farming season, so they went out hunting. One is to get more food to make up for the shortage of grain, and the other is to use the hunted wild animals to sacrifice to ancestors and gods, pray for blessings and longevity, avoid disasters and welcome good luck.
