Reflections on traditional festival books

I saw a news about festivals the other day. After reading it, I found that all the introductions were imported. Don't we have our own traditional festivals? The answer is yes, such as Laba Festival.

Today, our traditional festivals have gradually drifted away, and some have even faded out of people's sight, not to mention how much people know about traditional festivals. It is probably not a good phenomenon for a nation to lose its traditional culture.

Laba Festival, also known as Laba Festival. Laba Festival has a long tradition and history in China. December of the lunar calendar is commonly known as the twelfth lunar month, and the eighth day of December (the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month) is Laba Festival. People eat laba porridge on this day. Making Laba porridge is the most traditional and exquisite custom of the whole country. Its purpose is to celebrate the agricultural harvest, thank ancestors and gods for their protection, and have a good wish to drive away the epidemic. According to ancient books, the eighth day of December is the twelfth lunar month, and villagers also play drums, grow beards, and be king kong lux to drive away the epidemic. The traditional festivals in China also have profound, far-reaching and significant significance. Today's generation of teenagers is even more difficult to understand. We are fascinated by constellations and celebrate Christmas, but we don't know what traditional festivals are. Traditional festivals are always busy with work and have no time to shirk, but why do you have so much time to send apples and roses? Not to mention that our traditional festivals are more meaningful than those so-called foreign festivals, at least our own traditions are worth inheriting and carrying forward. As the old saying goes, one side raises the other's children. There's really no problem. A lost individual will lead to the failure of life, and if a nation loses itself, it represents the demise of culture, even the demise of the nation! This is definitely not an alarmist.

The custom of Laba Festival is to sacrifice and eat Laba porridge. Sacrifice is what we said earlier: thank ancestors and gods and express good wishes. Eating Laba porridge is made from eight kinds of fresh grain and fruits of that year, and the specific methods are not listed one by one. In a word, Laba porridge is not just a bowl of porridge, it carries the culture of our ancestors. The practice of drinking Laba porridge varies from place to place in the country. Every place has strong local characteristics and a lot of delicious food. It can be said that it is varied and colorful.

Respecting traditional culture is a concrete manifestation of our self-reliance and self-improvement, not just a form. We should not imitate others, only the weak will imitate. We must be strong and become the object of imitation! It is our goal and responsibility to return to the glory of the past. Let our country stand in the forest forever.

Interesting reading: There is another food in North China, Laba garlic, which is peeled with vinegar as soon as it enters the twelfth lunar month. On the day of Laba, garlic was soaked in crystal green and tasted delicious. Garlic, that is to say, by the end of the year, all shops should take stock of their income and expenditure, send Laba garlic to the debtor's home, and tell him that we should settle the accounts clearly and not let him become an old account.
