Why do we drink Laba porridge in the twelfth lunar month?

There is a custom of eating Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Legend has it that it is a festival food custom to commemorate the national hero Yue Fei. Traditional folks compete to follow suit and cook Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, commonly known as "Laba rice". Not only do they eat it at home, some people also give it as gifts to relatives and friends.
Zhou Mi, a man from the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in "Old Things in Wulin" that "porridge made with walnuts, pine nuts, milk mushrooms, persimmon mushrooms, persimmons and chestnuts is called 'Laba porridge'." Subsequently, Laba porridge gradually evolved into a traditional folk custom to celebrate the harvest, symbolizing good weather and a good harvest, and became popular all over the country. To this day, people in vast areas of Jiangnan, Northeast China and Northwest my country still retain the custom of eating Laba porridge, but it is no longer common in Guangdong. Traditional folk Laba porridge varies from place to place, with various colors and patterns, and is sweet and delicious. Laba porridge usually uses polished japonica rice or glutinous rice as the main ingredient, and then adds some auxiliary ingredients, making up a total of 8 ingredients and boiling them together, so it is also called "eight treasures porridge". But there are also some with more than ten species, and some with as few as four or five species. "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji" records: "Laba porridge is made by boiling yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, red cowpeas, and red dates with water, and adding peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanut kernels, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar, and raisins as coloring. Eating a bowl of steaming hot Laba porridge in winter is not only delicious and nutritious, but can also increase blessings and longevity.
