Laba this morning, we have the custom of eating Laba porridge before the sun comes out. If you eat late, you will get pink eye disease (haha, pink eye disease has nothing to do with this). In the past, I always got up before dawn, but later I didn’t need to get up early if I had an appointment. This year I have to take pictures so I made it in advance. In fact, it’s not surprising that people also drink similar porridge nowadays.
Baidu: Laba porridge is a kind of porridge made from a variety of ingredients during the Laba Festival. It is used to pray for the good weather in the coming year and ensure a good agricultural harvest. Laba porridge is a combination of food from all directions and cooked in a pot with rice, which means to gather all things and reconcile a thousand spirits.
According to legend, the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, practiced asceticism for six years. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, he enlightened and became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree. "Laba" became "the anniversary of Buddha's enlightenment." "Laba" is a grand festival of Buddhism.
In Henan, Laba Congee, also known as "Fan for Everyone", is a festive food custom to commemorate the national hero Yue Fei.
According to another legend, Zhuanxu, one of the five ancient emperors, turned his three sons into evil spirits after their deaths, and came out to scare the children. In ancient times, people generally believed in superstition and feared ghosts and gods. Adults believed that children suffering from stroke and poor health were all caused by the Laba Festival. These evil spirits are not afraid of the heavens and they are only afraid of the red (red) beans, so there is a saying that "the red beans beat ghosts". Therefore, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, porridge with red adzuki beans and red adzuki beans is used to dispel the epidemic and welcome prosperity.
The ingredients of Laba Congee vary with local products. The ingredients of the current laba porridge are determined by personal taste, and can be added with sugar or salt. Chinese people love Laba porridge. Apart from food customs, it is also a good health food. A simple laba porridge contains the functions of harmonizing the stomach, nourishing the spleen, nourishing the heart, clearing the lungs, nourishing the kidneys, nourishing the liver, improving eyesight, soothing the nerves, and laxative. , Improve the cold tolerance index.
