The origin of Laba Festival:

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, December of each year is called the twelfth month, and the eighth day of the twelfth month is called the "Laba Festival." "La", as stated in Shuowen Jiezi, "La, the third day after the winter solstice, is a day to offer sacrifices to all gods." This shows that "La" was originally a sacrificial activity held on the third day after the winter solstice in ancient times. From this we can see that the creation of this festival was a custom in ancient times to worship ancestors at the end of the year. Regarding this sacrificial custom, "Fengsu Tong" records that "In the Xia Dynasty it was called Jiaping, in the Yin Dynasty it was called Qingsi, in the Zhou Dynasty it was called Dala, and in the Han Dynasty it was changed to La. La means hunting, and hunting animals to sacrifice to ancestors."
