Does the New Year come after Laba Festival?

Laba originated from the ancient custom of worshiping gods and praying for a good harvest. As its theme is similar to the Spring Festival and its time is close to the Spring Festival, there is a saying that "after Laba it is the New Year".
Laba Festival, commonly known as "Laba", falls on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. In ancient times, some places in my country had the tradition of worshiping ancestors and gods (including door gods, household gods, house gods, kitchen gods, and well gods) in the twelfth lunar month and praying for a good harvest and good luck. There was also the custom of "drinking Laba porridge." According to legend, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment. It is called the "Dharma Treasure Festival" and is one of the grand festivals in Buddhism.
The word "Laba" originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when it was called "La Day". It was originally a Buddhist festival, but after generations of evolution, it gradually became a household folk festival.
Sacrificial Rituals
1. Place food, bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, tea and other offerings on the graves of ancestors, and then light three incense sticks in front of the graves.
2. Pour the first glass of wine after lighting the incense. After about 30 minutes or half of the incense is burned, one person will light three incense sticks for the second time and pour the second glass of wine.
3. When the incense is half burned, place offerings to the land god who looks after the grave, and then burn a piece of yellow paper to protect the ancestors from harm.
4. When the three incense sticks have burned out, remove the offerings and leave a small amount of money and other belongings to be burned on other graves to prevent other ghosts from stealing money and clothes from the ancestral graves after the people who visited the graves leave.
Precautions
1. Do not laugh, play, run around or bump into anything around a cemetery. Doing so is not only impolite, but also disrespectful to the ancestors.
Second, it is not advisable to wear bright red or bright green clothes, and pregnant women, the sick, and children under 7 years old should not go to sweep the graves.
3. What is usually said during the sacrifice: what you plan to do at the grave, why you do it, and the hope that the ancestors will bless you, and everything will go smoothly and peacefully.
