What are the taboos of Laba Festival?Laba Festival time in 2018:Sunday, January 13, 2019 (the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the Year of the Dog, 5 days away from the Laba Festival in the lunar calendar of 2018)Laba Festival, commonly known as "Laba", is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The ancients had the tradition of worshiping their ancestors and gods and praying for a good harvest and good luck. In some areas, there is a custom of drinking Laba porridge. According to legend, this day is the day when Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment, and is called the "Dharma Treasure Festival", which is one of the grand festivals in Buddhism. The month at the end of the year is called "La", which has three meanings: one is that "La means connection", implying the alternation of the old and the new (recorded in "Book of Sui·Rituals"); the second is that "La is the same as hunting", referring to hunting to obtain animals for offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods, and "La" is written on the side of "meat", which means using meat for "winter sacrifice"; the third is that "La is to drive away epidemics and welcome spring." Laba Festival is also known as "Buddha's Enlightenment Festival" or "Enlightenment Meeting". In fact, it can be said that the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the origin of Laba Day. Analysis of Laba Festival taboos:Taboos of Laba Festival: Don’t eat Laba porridge before noon <br /> The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is called Laba in folk customs. As the saying goes, “after Laba, it’s the New Year”. From this day on, the “New Year atmosphere” becomes increasingly strong.In our country, the custom of eating Laba porridge on Laba Festival has been passed down for thousands of years. However, there are taboos in some places about this habit, that is, eating Laba porridge before noon. Every year, people start cooking Laba porridge the night before Laba Festival and eat it the next morning. If they cannot finish it, they can share it with relatives, friends, and neighbors, but not after noon. There is also a saying that goes, "Eat porridge early, and the harvest will be early next year." Taboo of Laba Festival: Don’t go back to your parents’ home on Laba Festival <br /> According to the old saying, there are always a few days in a year when married daughters cannot go back to their parents’ home. It is said to be a taboo and has its own rules. Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the first taboo day is Laba. Going back to your mother's home on Laba Day will bring bad luck to your mother-in-law, as she will die lying prone in a hundred years. Another saying goes: "If you don't eat rice from your mother's home on Laba Festival, your ancestors will not be able to pay it back", which means that your family will become poor. Some even believe that you cannot spend the twelfth lunar month at your parents’ home on the 8th, 18th, and 28th. Taboos of Laba Festival: Do not move in the twelfth month <br /> From the perspective of Feng Shui, the twelfth month is cold, and if you move into a new house hastily, the cold atmosphere will block the prosperous atmosphere of the home. This sounds like it has a certain natural scientific reason. However, with the improvement of home technology, many houses have implemented whole-house heating, so there is no need to deliberately invite friends to the new house to visit and boost popularity as in the past. The reason why there is a saying that "you can't move house in the twelfth lunar month" is simply because people are worried that their hands and feet will be cold, which is bad for their health. But now for people who have home heating, this is no longer a problem. |
