Why do we drink Laba porridge on Laba Festival?

Sakyamuni was originally a prince. He deeply sympathized with the sufferings of the working people. At the age of 29, he resolutely gave up his royal life to seek ways to relieve the sufferings of life.
According to legend, one day Sakyamuni came to a vast desert. He was hungry and thirsty, and finally collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion.
At this time, a kind shepherdess happened to pass by. She hurriedly mixed the mixed rice she brought with spring water into porridge and fed it to Shakyamuni.
After waking up, Sakyamuni thanked the shepherdess and continued to move forward. He practiced with unyielding perseverance for six years and finally attained enlightenment and became a Buddha on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
From then on, every eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, all Buddhist temples would follow the example of the shepherdess offering porridge. They would use fragrant grains and fruits to cook porridge and offer it before the Buddha statue.
In ancient times, people often used hunted animals to sacrifice to heaven, earth and ancestors in winter to pray for blessings and longevity, avoid disasters and welcome good fortune. In ancient times, "猎" and "蜡" were the same word.
Later, the twelfth month, which is at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, when the old year turns to the new, is called "La Yue". According to ancient records, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a folk proverb that "the La drum sounds, and the spring grass grows."
It is said that in the twelfth lunar month, farmers beat drums, perform various dances and pray for another good harvest in the coming year to celebrate the good harvest.
In ancient China, people had the custom of eating "red bean porridge" around the winter solstice. As recorded in the red bean entry in Compendium of Materia Medica, the legendary Gonggong who hit his head against the Buzhou Mountain had seven "untalented" sons, "who died on the winter solstice and became plague ghosts." Therefore, red bean porridge was made on this day to exorcise the plague god and ghost.
This festival custom was later integrated with the Buddhist "five-flavor porridge" to commemorate the Buddha's enlightenment. The religious and superstitious elements gradually faded and became the festival delicacy after the beginning of the twelfth lunar month - "Laba porridge".
