Is Laba Festival one of the 24 solar terms?

Laba is a folk festival that falls on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month and is not one of the 24 solar terms.
Laba Festival falls on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year. Laba Festival is also known as Laba Festival, Laba Festival, Wanghou La or Buddha's Enlightenment Day. It was originally a sacrificial ceremony in ancient times to celebrate the harvest and thank the ancestors and gods. In addition to the activities of worshiping ancestors and gods, people also had to drive away the plague. This activity originated from the ancient Nuo. One of the medical methods in prehistoric times was to exorcise ghosts and cure diseases. The custom of beating drums to drive away epidemics in the twelfth lunar month, as a witchcraft activity, still exists 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.
