Laba Festival originated in ancient times. Laba is a sacrificial ceremony for ancestors and gods (including door gods, household gods, house gods, kitchen gods and well gods) to pray for good harvest and good luck. According to the Book of Rites Special Sacrifice, La Worship was in December, when he got together with everything. In Xia Dynasty, Lari was called Jiaping, in Shang Dynasty, Qingsi, in Zhou Dynasty, Dala. Because it is held in December, it is called the twelfth lunar month, and La Worship is called the twelfth lunar month. The December of the lunar calendar in the pre-Qin period is the third day from winter to the future, and later Buddhism was introduced. In order to expand its local influence, traditional culture was attached to Laba Festival as the Buddha's enlightenment day. Later, with the prevalence of Buddhism, the Buddha's Light Festival merged with the twelve festivals, which was called the Magic Weapon Festival in Buddhism. The Northern and Southern Dynasties began to be fixed on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
