The Laba Festival, commonly known as "Laba", refers to the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month (December) of the lunar calendar. The Laba Festival is a festival used to worship ancestors and gods and pray for a good harvest and auspiciousness. According to legend, this day is the day when the founder of Buddhism Sakyamuni enlightened and founded Buddhism under Buddha Yebodhi, which is the eighth day of the lunar calendar. Called "Buddha Enlightenment Festival". In China, there is a custom of drinking Laba porridge and soaking Laba garlic during the Laba Festival. In Henan and other places, Laba porridge is also known as "Family Rice". It is a festive food custom to commemorate the national hero Yue Fei.
Laba porridge is also called "Qibao Wuwei porridge". my country has a history of drinking Laba porridge for more than a thousand years. It first started in the Song Dynasty. Every Laba day, whether it is the imperial court, the government, the monastery or the homes of the Li people, they will cook Laba porridge. In the Qing Dynasty, the custom of drinking Laba porridge became even more popular. In the palace, the emperor, empress, prince, etc. all give Laba porridge to ministers of civil and military affairs and servants, and distribute rice and fruit to monks for consumption.

After the Laba porridge is cooked, you must first worship the gods and ancestors. After that, you must give it away to relatives and friends, and you must send it out before noon. Finally, the whole family eats it. The leftover Laba porridge, which is left after being eaten for a few days, is a good sign, whichever means "surplus every year". If you give the porridge to the poor, it will be more for yourself.
