The origin of Laba porridge
The origin of Laba porridge is related to the story of Yue Jiajun's crusade against Jin Jun. It is said that Yue Jiajun's crusade against Jin Lu won one after another in Zhuxian Town, but it was chased back by the twelve gold medals of the imperial court. On the way back to Li, the soldiers were hungry and cold, and the Henan people along the way poured the food sent by each family into a big pot to cook porridge for the soldiers to satisfy their hunger and keep out the cold. This day happens to be the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Later, Yue Fei was killed in Fengbo Pavilion. In order to remember this national hero, every household in Henan eats "everyone's meal" on Laba Festival, that is, Laba porridge, to show their memory.
