Laba Festival? What is its origin?January 24, 2018, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wednesday <br /> 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."The legend of Laba FestivalAccording to legend, there was an old couple who lived a hard-working and frugal life and saved up a fortune. However, their beloved son was not ambitious and his wife was not virtuous, so they soon lost their family fortune. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the couple was freezing and hungry. Fortunately, the villagers and neighbors came to help them and cooked a pot of "mixed porridge" made of rice, noodles, beans, and vegetables. It means: "Eat a bowl of mixed porridge and remember the lesson." This porridge helped the young couple get rid of their bad habits, get back on the right track, and support their family through hard work, and their lives got better day by day. The custom of eating porridge on Laba Festival is popular among the people. It is passed down by people in order to use this lesson to warn future generations.Summary: The above content is about the specific time of Laba Festival in 2018 and the legend of Laba Festival.
