The meaning of La According to records, "La" has three meanings: One is "La means connection", which implies the alternation of the old and the new. The second is "La is the same as hunting", which refers to hunting in the fields to obtain animals for offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods. The third is "La is to drive away epidemics and welcome spring", which means to ward off evil spirits and epidemics, pray for blessings and longevity, avoid disasters and welcome good luck.2. The Taoist Laba Festival records the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month as the Laba Festival for kings and princes. The Five Emperors determined the places where people were born, the divisions of land where they received blessings, and sent down 36,000 spirits. On this day, one can apologize for sins, pray for longevity, appease the gods, change one's reputation and position, change poverty, bathe, offer sacrifices to ancestors, hold grand offerings to the heavenly officials, and all wishes will be granted and those seeking the truth will be sure to obtain it.

The significance of Buddhism: The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day of enlightenment of our teacher Shakyamuni Buddha, and it has become a grand and solemn commemorative day for Buddhism, and the Laba Festival comes from this. From a traditional perspective, in Taoism and Buddhism, Laba is not a suitable day for holding weddings or celebrations . However, Laba itself has the meaning of praying for blessings and longevity, and warding off evil spirits. In the eyes of modern people, it has become a festive holiday, so the statements of these religions can only be used as a reference. |
