What is the origin of Laba Festival?The most important festival in the twelfth lunar month is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, which was called "La Day" in ancient times and commonly known as "Laba Festival". Laba is an ancient sacrificial ceremony for celebrating the harvest and thanking ancestors and gods (including door gods, household gods, house gods, kitchen gods, and well gods). The Laba day was called "Jiaping" in the Xia Dynasty, "Qingsi" in the Shang Dynasty and "Dala" in the Zhou Dynasty. Because it was held in December, that month was called the La Month, and the day of the Laba Festival was called the La Day. In the pre-Qin period, Lari was the third Xu day after the winter solstice. Laba Festival is a festival for worshiping ancestors and gods and praying for a good harvest and good luck. Later, Buddhism was introduced to China in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to expand its influence in the local area, it gradually attached itself to traditional culture and designated Laba Festival as the day of Buddha's enlightenment. It is said that the day of enlightenment of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, was also the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Therefore, Laba is also a festival for Buddhists, called "Buddha's Enlightenment Day."At the same time, Laba Festival is also known as Laba Festival, Laba Festival, and Wanghou La. It was originally an ancient sacrificial ceremony to celebrate the harvest and thank ancestors and gods (including door gods, household gods, house gods, kitchen gods, and well gods). In addition to the activities of worshiping ancestors and gods, the custom of beating drums to drive away epidemics in the twelfth lunar month during witchcraft activities still remains in Xinhua, Hunan and other areas. Later it evolved into a religious festival to commemorate the Buddha Shakyamuni's enlightenment. The La Festival was called "Jiaping" in the Xia Dynasty, "Qingsi" in the Shang Dynasty and "Dala" in the Zhou Dynasty. Because it was held in December, the month was called Layue and the day of the La Festival was called Lari. In the Pre-Qin Dynasty, Lari was on the third Xu day after the winter solstice. It was not until the Northern and Southern Dynasties that it was fixed on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The meanings of "La" in Laba Festival are: 1. "La means connection", which implies the transition between the old and the new (recorded in "Book of Sui·Rituals"); 2. "La" means hunting to obtain animals for offering sacrifice to ancestors and gods. "La" is next to "meat", which means using meat for "winter sacrifice"; Laba porridge 3. “La Festival is the time to drive away epidemics and welcome the spring.” Laba Festival comes from the La Day, and is the most important festival in the twelfth lunar month. It falls on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, which was called "La Day" in ancient times and is commonly known as "Laba Festival". |
