On January 17, people will usher in the traditional festival Laba Festival. Since the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Laba Festival has been about offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods, praying for a good harvest and good luck. It is said that the enlightenment day of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, was also on the eighth day of December, so Laba is also a festival for Buddhists, known as the "Buddha Enlightenment Day".
On Laba day, there is a custom of eating Laba porridge. The history of eating Laba porridge in my country has been more than a thousand years, and it first started in the Song Dynasty. On every Laba day, whether it is the court, government, monastery or people's homes, they must make Laba porridge. By the Qing Dynasty, the custom of drinking Laba porridge became even more popular. In the palace, the emperor, empress, prince, etc. would give Laba porridge to the ministers of civil and military affairs and the attendant maids, and distribute rice, fruits, etc. to various temples for the monks to eat. Among the people, every family also makes Laba porridge to worship their ancestors. At the same time, the family reunites to eat it together and also gives it to relatives and friends.
There are many varieties of Laba porridge in various parts of China. Among them, Beijing is the most particular. There are many items mixed with white rice, such as red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, pine nuts, longan, hazelnuts, black hair, roses, red beans, peanuts... There are no less than twenty kinds in total. On the night of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, people start to get busy, washing rice, soaking fruits, peeling, pitting and sorting. Then they start cooking at midnight, then stew over low heat until the early morning of the next day. It's a good time.
After the Laba porridge is cooked, you must first worship the gods and ancestors, and then give it to relatives and friends. It must be given out before noon, and finally the whole family can eat it. If there is leftover Laba porridge after eating it for several days, it is a good sign, which means "more than enough every year". If you give porridge to poor people, it will be a good thing for yourself. Among the people, if there are flowers and fruit trees planted in the yard, some Laba porridge should be smeared on the branches, which is believed to produce more fruits in the coming year. In my hometown, every year on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the Laba Festival, there is a custom of eating Laba porridge. Laba porridge is a sweet or salty porridge cooked with eight kinds of fresh grains harvested that year. But people in our hometown like to eat salty Laba porridge. In addition to rice, millet, mung beans, cowpeas, peanuts, jujubes and other raw materials, the porridge also contains radish, cabbage, vermicelli, kelp, tofu, etc. On the morning of the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, as soon as it dawns, people get up and make porridge. After the porridge is cooked, the first thing to do is not to eat by yourself, but to feed the cooked porridge to the jujube tree, cut some small holes in the jujube tree, and then spread the porridge on the tree marks religiously. This is like the jujube tree eating up the rice. The reason why people do this, according to old people, is that no jujube trees in our area bear fruit, and people are unwilling to plant jujube trees. Seeing that people did not respect her, Zao Shen turned into an old woman and came to the world. She drew an orchard not far from the village, full of jujube trees and red jujube branches. People picked it and tasted it. It was sour and sweet, and it was very delicious. They rushed to the old woman who managed the jujube tree to ask for advice. The old woman told everyone that as long as you feed the jujube tree a meal of rice on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, the jujube tree will bear fruit. People followed her instructions, and sure enough, red dates grew on every tree. This is just a legend. In fact, it contains many scientific truths: cutting some holes in the jujube tree can regulate the nutritional growth of the jujube tree, prevent nutrients from being transported underground, and concentrate on supplying the above-ground parts, thus ensuring the nutrition of the fruit. need. As for applying the porridge on the tree scars, it is actually just a crude way to protect the wound from healing.
To this day, some places in my hometown still retain the custom of letting jujube trees eat rice on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. There is a local folk saying: "The Laba jujube tree eats rice, and the jujubes will be thick and thick with eggs." "Ganliandan" is the hometown dialect, which means that the jujube trees are full of fruit and the fruits are thick and big.
On the day of Laba, in addition to worshiping ancestors and gods, some people also mourned the subjugation of the country and expressed their grief on this day. Laba Festival Reflection Essay 2

Things are bright, time flies, and another Spring Festival is coming. Before the Spring Festival comes, the first One section is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the old calendar year, which is called "Laba" according to the common name in my hometown. "Laba" has a deep memory in my mind. Because on the day of "Laba", we eat "Laba porridge". At this time, a long-lost sweetness will linger between the lips and teeth.
When I was young, although my family was not very wealthy, my mother would still make every festival rich and sweet. I remember that the night before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, my mother arranged for us brothers and sisters: Tomorrow is "Laba Festival" and we have to get up early to eat "Laba Rice Porridge".
As my mother spoke, she pulled out a pack of red dates like a magic trick. We were as happy as greedy cats, rolling around on the kang and yelling "oh, oh", wanting a few as a toothpaste, but mother was screaming. In the middle of the fuss, she quietly stuffed a few of the largest red dates into me. Oh, at that moment I felt that I was the happiest person in the world... Mother prepared barley, millet, rice, red beans and other things for the next day. We were fully prepared for work, and then once again told us to get up early, saying that otherwise we would become "red eyes". Of course, there is no way to verify the origin of this statement, because I have never seen anyone with "red eyes" the next day because they didn't get up early on Laba day. On the day of "Laba", my mother always got up very early. While we were still in a sweet and sweet dream, we faintly heard the sound of the bellows "Hu Da, Hu Da", "Hu Da, Hu Da..." It sounded so melodious, so long, so warm... It was not yet bright, but the red stove fire illuminated the house brilliantly and beautifully. When the thick fragrance filled the house, mother began to call us to get up. When we finished washing and sat in front of the kang table with joy, waiting for our mother to put the fragrant and brightly colored "Laba porridge" into the bowl, we could no longer contain our excitement and would chew with open cheeks. Eat a lot, because the porridge is very hot, and the sound of "sucking" can be heard. While eating, my brother restlessly threw the porridge in the bowl into the air. What impressed me most was that the porridge that was thrown up like a ball fell back into his bowl accurately every time. It was like performing acrobatics, and I learned several times to either throw the porridge on the kang or to the back of my head, which made the whole family burst into laughter. Mother sat aside with a bowl and ignored us, just staring at us with eyes full of love. At this time of year, outside the house is often howling cold wind, ice and snow, but inside the house we are bathed in mother's warm eyes, eating fragrant, hot porridge with relish, what a happy scene it is! p>
Now that times have changed, "Laba porridge" is no longer a delicacy that children covet. Although the ingredients used in Laba porridge are now very different from those in the past. Longans, lotus seeds, wolfberries, candied fruits, etc. are nutritious and health-care, and are very particular, but when I eat them, I always feel that a few flavors are missing...
Oh , when I am exhausted in the complicated and mundane life, how much I want to bathe in my mother’s warm eyes and eat a bowl of “Laba porridge” made by her! Laba Festival Reflection Essay 3
December 8th is the Laba Festival. In ancient times, there was no regular schedule for the twelfth lunar month. After the Jin Dynasty, December was regarded as the twelfth lunar month. Therefore, December 8 was called Laba. It is said that Buddha Sakyamuni became enlightened on this day. In order to commemorate Sakyamuni, major temples in Tokyo (Kaifeng) in the Northern Song Dynasty held Buddha bathing ceremonies on this day and made seven treasures and five flavors porridge. This kind of porridge is called Laba porridge, also called Buddha porridge.
Later, people also made Laba porridge, and even the imperial court also made Laba porridge as a gift to officials. It is very common to eat Laba porridge on Laba Day in various parts of Shandong. Texas Laba porridge is made with eight kinds of grains and fruits, including dates, which symbolize good luck. The date in Laba porridge means "zao" and the chestnut means "strength", which means to work hard early to strive for a bumper harvest next year. The Laba porridge should be made thicker and sticky. Sticky is a homophone for "lian", which means good harvests year after year. A family reclaiming wasteland at the mouth of the Yellow River has a new bride. On the eighth day of the Laba, they make a cake with yellow rice and red dates, which is called "eating bowl cake". Jimo regards the Laba Festival as a farmer's festival. It is said to be taken from the "seven people and eight grains", which is a commemoration of the grains.
The Laba Festival is in the middle of winter, and the weather is cold. As the saying goes: "Laba, Laba, freeze to death and beggar." In the old days, in order to show kindness to long-term workers, the landowners in Zouping would not wait until the Laba Festival. When I resigned, I gave him a few Laba cakes as a gift before I left. When did the Chinese people start drinking Laba porridge? It is now unexplained. I am sure it does not have a history of more than 2,000 years.
Two thousand five hundred and fifty-five years ago, the Buddha was born in Kapilavastu, ancient India. His father was King Suddhodana, his mother was Lady Maya, and he was the prince himself. Feeling the suffering of human beings about birth, aging, illness and death, he became a monk at the age of twenty-nine and lived in seclusion in the snowy mountains to practice Taoism. At first, I ate one piece of wheat every day, and I became so thin that my heart touched my back. Because of the immobility, birds build nests on the shaggy heads. For six more years, he still did not attain enlightenment. I got up and went to the Nairenjara River to wash away the years of dirt on my body. He met the cowherd girl Suyada, who provided him with milk and rotten porridge. Soon the prince's complexion was rosy and he was in good health. So he sat down under the Bodhi tree and vowed that if he didn't become a Buddha, he would never get up from this seat. It's night, the breeze is warm and the stars are twinkling. At dawn, the prince raised his head for a moment and looked at the morning star. He suddenly became enlightened and achieved supreme enlightenment.
Rotten porridge is porridge made by putting all kinds of grains together. After Buddhism was introduced to China from Afghanistan during the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the custom of "Laba porridge" gradually emerged in China. Drinking Laba porridge not only commemorates the Buddha's enlightenment, but also prays for one's wish to become a Buddha in the future, or to receive the Buddha's blessings.

My mother said that Laba porridge is a reunion dinner and the whole family should eat it. One year when my second brother was not at home, my mother filled a large bowl of porridge and kept it. When my brother came back during the Spring Festival, my mother watched him eat the porridge.
My mother passed away many years ago, and my brothers and sisters have all started families one after another. The whole family no longer has the opportunity to sit around the pot and drink delicious porridge.
Living in the south of the Yangtze River, every household here drinks Laba porridge. The canteen of the unit also cooks porridge for employees. When I serve the bowl tomorrow morning, what is in the bowl is not only the ancient traditional culture, but also the long-lost family affection. Laba Festival Reflection Composition Part 4
Once upon a time, there was a family with three people living together - an old man, an old woman, and a son.
The old man and the old woman always live diligently all year round: as soon as the rooster crows, the old man gets up and goes to the ground, and the old woman gets up and lights a fire to cook; The house and courtyard were kept clean and tidy; after dinner, the old man smoked a cigarette and went to the ground again, while the old woman moved the spinning wheel and was spinning threads hummingly. In this way, his family had a large stockpile of food every year and a full small stockpile. They had food and clothing, and lived a happy life. Who among the neighbors doesn’t praise it, and who doesn’t learn from it!
As for my son, he is only more than ten years old. His father asked him to learn to be a farmer, but he didn't do it; his mother asked him to learn to be a housekeeper, but he didn't listen. He is just playful. His parents thought, hey, he's still young, maybe when he grows up, he will be fine once he understands how to live his life. Unexpectedly, my son has grown into a young man and is no longer playful. He is very greedy! His parents' advice fell on deaf ears; his neighbors said he had no future, so he pretended to be deaf. He thought well: My parents are doing it, so I don’t have to do it; who will let me have good "parental luck"?
The old man and the old woman gradually grew old.
One day, the old man became seriously ill and could not be cured. He was about to die. When he was about to die, the old man called his son to him and told him: "Son, you must always remember - 'Whoever works hard on the ground will keep a full store of food.' You If you continue like before, you will suffer sooner or later."
The old man died after finishing speaking.
The son didn’t take his father’s words to heart. After the old man died, he became the head of the family. With the house, land, and a hoard of food left by his father, he ate, drank, and had fun every day—more and more. Debauched. Soon, he married a wife. The wife is with the man. The neighbors called them "Hua Lahu", and the old woman became very angry.
One day, the old woman fell on the kang and looked like she was about to die. If your son is disobedient, tell your daughter-in-law. The old woman called her daughter-in-law to her and said sadly: "My child, you must always remember - 'Whose chimney smokes first, whose sorghum will turn red first.' Sooner or later, you have to learn like your man. You will suffer."
The old woman died after saying that.
The daughter-in-law didn’t take her mother-in-law’s words to heart, and she became even more debauched with the man! Every day the sun doesn't shine on my buttocks, and I can't afford a bed, and the fields are covered with weeds without even a hoe; I only care about eating and flowering every day. My parents left the grain and ran out of it, so they sold the land. The grain for the land sale was almost gone, but it didn't matter - they could still sell the house. They went on living like this in a daze. The neighbors ignored them! Winter has arrived.
The cold wind howls and the heavy snow falls. It was freezing and snowy, so cold that not even a wild bird could be seen. The three houses left by my parents have not been tidied up or plastered. They have been exposed to the wind, rain and sun for a long time, and the purlins have rotted away. They are selling them. Who would buy such a house? As the saying goes - "It's the seventh and eighth lunar month, there are big lumps everywhere." The first few days of the twelfth lunar month are the coldest time in winter!
The two people were huddled in a corner of the wall, shivering with cold, their heads hanging down from hunger and their eyes dazzled. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, they couldn't bear it any longer, so they stretched themselves out and dismantled the store. Shake the bottom of the hoard, get some grains, knock on the side of the hoard, and get some grains; use the hoard basket as firewood, put the grains into the pot, boil half a pot of grain porridge and drink it. Feeling warm in their hearts, the two of them suddenly remembered their parents' words. But it's too late - what's the point of drinking porridge? The two of them died of cold and starvation in the corner.
