It has many nicknames, including Ladong, Candong, Qiongdong, Layue, Bingyue, Yuyue, Jiyue, Qingsi, Dongsu, Dalu and more than 30 other names. Among them, the most familiar and well-known one is "La Yue".Regarding "La", there are records about "Rou Fu" and "La Wei" in "Zhou Li" and "Zhou Yi". The original meaning of "La" is "dried meat", which also refers to a method of processing meat food. The meat is marinated with salt or sauce and then placed in a ventilated place to dry. December at the end of the year is called "La Yue" because it is dry and rainy between Lesser Cold and Greater Cold, with westerly monsoons blowing, making it the most suitable time for drying and making cured meats. This is the origin of the name “La Yue” for the twelfth month of the year. The twelfth month is at the end of the year, during the transition period between the old and the new year. In ancient times, it was also the month for the year-end sacrifices. |
