According to legend, the Buddha Sakyamuni became a monk and traveled around the world. One day, he passed out in the wild due to hunger and fatigue, and was discovered by a herding girl.

Once, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, he spent a day grazing sheep in the wild and had not eaten a decent meal by night. So he looked for things to satisfy his hunger in the wild. Suddenly, he found a big fat mouse on the edge of the field and hurriedly fled into a mouse hole. Zhu Yuanzhang approached the hole, dug out with a branch, and found some various kinds of things in the mouse hole. The grain, obviously, is the winter grain storage for mice. Zhu Yuanzhang took out a large handful of grains, including millet, corn, peanuts, red beans, etc. He washed these grains and cooked them into porridge, which tasted delicious. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he still missed the "multigrain porridge" he made personally when he was young. He stipulated that this kind of whole grain porridge should be made in the imperial dining hall, and designated the name of this kind of porridge as "Laba porridge". The imperial chef added gorgon seeds, lotus seeds, osmanthus, peach kernels, jujubes, etc. to the porridge to make the porridge extra sweet and delicious.

1. A bowl of colorful porridge exudes an attractive aroma. Every household will eat this kind of food on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It is Laba porridge.
Speaking of this unique porridge, its origin is also unknown. It is quite legendary. According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, lived a life without enough food and clothing for the big landowners when he was a child.
It happened to be the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and he had already been herding cattle for a whole day. The cattle had not had a decent meal at night, so he went to the wild to find something to satisfy his hunger. Suddenly, he found a mouse in the field and hurriedly escaped into a hole. Zhu Yuanzhang approached the hole and dug it out with a branch. When digging, he unexpectedly found a variety of grains in the mouse hole.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took out a lot of cereals, millet, peanuts, red beans, corn... and cooked a pot of porridge. It was delicious. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he still missed this bowl of multigrain porridge.
So he stipulated that Yushanfang should make it with radish, green vegetables, peanuts, white lotus seeds, and tofu every year on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. This kind of whole grain porridge was later named Babao porridge, which means remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet.
