What should we pay attention to during Laba Festival in 2019? Why can’t we go back to our parents’ home during Laba Festival?
There is a folk saying that you cannot go back to your parents’ home on Laba Festival. Is this true? What should we pay attention to during Laba Festival in 2019? In the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, the coldest days of winter arrive as expected. Shuimoxiansheng.com presents you with wonderful content for the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 2018.What should we pay attention to during Laba Festival in 2019?1. People with weak spleen and stomach, those who easily get diarrhea after eating greasy or cold food, or those who don’t want to eat much, or those who have just recovered from a serious illness and have a weak stomach, can use coix seed, yam, chicken gizzard lining and millet to make porridge to strengthen the spleen, eliminate dampness and stimulate appetite.2. For people with lung qi deficiency, chronic bronchitis or those who are prone to coughing, you can add some tangerine peel, lily, almond and raw astragalus to the millet to promote lung function and benefit qi, which is conducive to relieving cough. 3. For people with high blood pressure, their blood pressure is prone to be high in winter. For patients with high blood pressure, you can put some celery leaves, cherry tomatoes, and hawthorn in the millet to help consolidate blood pressure. 4. For people with high blood lipids, you can put some hawthorn, pomelo, and lotus leaves in millet, which is beneficial to the recovery of blood lipids. 5. For those with poor qi and blood, especially women who have just had heavy bleeding or have heavy menstrual flow, you can use red dates, red beans, red-skinned peanuts, sesame seeds, and black rice to make porridge to replenish qi and blood. 6. For those with insufficient kidney yang, those who are afraid of cold, have frequent urination at night, and have back pain, you can use mutton, angelica, walnuts, and black rice to make porridge to replenish kidney qi. Why can’t we go back to our parents’ home during Laba Festival?According to folk saying, going back to your mother's home on Laba Day will bring bad luck to your mother-in-law, who will then die lying prone a hundred years later. But in our hometown, there is another saying: "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. The ways of saying it are different, but the meaning is the same: you cannot go back to your parents’ home on this day.Some even believe that you cannot spend the twelfth lunar month at your parents’ home on the 8th, 18th, and 28th. Laba Festival was originally a sacrificial ceremony in ancient times 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 in the twelfth lunar month to drive away epidemics still remains in areas such as Xinhua, Hunan. 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. This has nothing to do with whether or not to return to one's parents' home. There is no basis for this folk saying at all, so there is no need to believe it completely. |
