The origin of Laba Festival in 2020 is said that Laba Festival is the day when Buddha Sakyamuni became a monk. After six years of asceticism, Sakyamuni finally became a Buddha under the bodhi tree on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. During these six years of asceticism, he only ate one hemp and one meter every day. Later, in order not to forget the suffering of the Buddha, people designated the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month as Laba Festival and drank porridge as a commemoration.

In order to do good deeds, temples all over the country will cook eight kinds of grains, such as rice, beans and millet, and distribute them to the poor. This kind of porridge is also called Laba porridge. Speaking of porridge, some big temples have specially cast large iron pots, and you can cook porridge with a stone of rice and beans at a time. The bottom of this pot is specially reserved with grooves for storing sand and pebbles in rice so as not to scratch the teeth of people who eat porridge.

Later, this habit was introduced to the people and became a custom. On the day of "Laba", every household cooks porridge and eats porridge as a festival, commonly known as "Laba Festival".

The custom of ancient Laba Festival In ancient times, people had the tradition of offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods (including door gods, household gods, house gods, kitchen gods and well gods) and praying for a bumper harvest.

The ancients sacrificed bacon to ancestors and gods in December, so December is also called twelfth month. The twelfth lunar month is a month of sacrifice, and people are asked to ensure a bumper harvest in the coming year. The ancients believed that the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was the day when immortals appeared and the beginning of the first day of the twelfth lunar month. From this day on, La Worship wanted to welcome the New Year. Later it evolved into Laba Festival.

One winter, all the crops returned to the warehouse. To celebrate the bumper harvest, our ancestors took out a little of each grain and cooked it into porridge to pay tribute to the fine weather in the sky. The twelfth lunar month is the last month of that year, and the eighth day is an auspicious day, so the activity of Laba porridge is set on this day.

According to legend, this day is also the day when Buddha Sakyamuni became a monk and became a Taoist. It is called "Magic Weapon Festival" and is one of the grand festivals in Buddhism.
