The method of drawing a good-looking Laba Festival handwritten newspaper is as follows:
1. We use a yellow marker to write the theme words, or use a pencil to draw the outline of the theme words and determine the outline. After that, paint the font yellow, and finally use a black brush to add a cloud content frame to the theme word.
2. Let’s first draw a bowl with a spoon in it. Then draw a few arcs on the bowl as decoration, draw some ovals in the porridge as rice grains, and then draw some dotted lines on the surface of the porridge.
3. The method of drawing Laba garlic is the same as that of drawing lanterns. The roots of Laba garlic are very short lines.
4. We draw a plate under the bowl and laba garlic. Draw a square content box and add a circle of dotted lines for decoration. We hung two pictures of blessing characters on the wall and painted flower patterns on the table.
Introduction to the Laba Festival:
The Laba Festival, which is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, is also known as the "Dharma Treasure Festival", "Buddha Enlightenment Festival", "Enlightenment Meeting", etc. Originally a Buddhist festival commemorating the enlightenment of Sakyamuni Buddha, it gradually became a folk festival.
Laba porridge, also known as "Seven Treasures and Five Flavors Porridge", "Buddha Porridge", "Everyone's Rice", etc., is a kind of porridge made from a variety of ingredients. The earliest written records of Laba porridge date back to the Song Dynasty. "Meng Liang Lu" written by Wu Zimu in the Southern Song Dynasty records: "On the eighth day of this month, temples call it Laba porridge. Dasha and other temples all have five-flavor porridge, which is called Laba porridge." The history of drinking Laba porridge in our country has been more than a thousand years. On Laba day, no matter the government, monasteries or people’s homes, they must make Laba porridge.
