2, Lahai Festival, the festival in the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar every year, the main custom is to "drink Lahai congee". Laha Festival is one of the great Buddhist festivals. According to Buddhist records, Siddhartha Gautama had been practicing asceticism for many years before he became a monk, and then he realized that asceticism was not the way to liberation and decided to give up asceticism. At this time, he met a shepherd girl who presented him with milk, and after eating it, he recovered his strength, sat under the Bodhi tree and meditated, and "became a Taoist monk" on December 8th. To commemorate this event, Buddhists held a practice on this day to make congee with rice and fruits for the Buddha. Wu Zimu (Southern Song Dynasty) wrote in Mengliang Lu (Records of the Dreaming Liang): "The eighth day of this month is called Lapa in monasteries. Dasha and other temples, all set up five-flavored porridge, called Laha congee." Since the introduction of Buddhism to China, all temples have made congee with fragrant grains and fruits to give to their disciples and devotees. On the day of Lapa, all monasteries held the practice of following the example of the shepherdess who offered milk and rice before the Buddha became a Taoist, and used fragrant grains and fruits to make porridge for the Buddha, which was called Lapa congee. Legend has it that after drinking this porridge, you can get the blessing of Buddha, therefore, Laha congee is also called "Fukushou congee", "Fude congee", and "Buddha congee". "Lapa" was a Buddhist festival, and then evolved through the generations, and gradually became a household name of the folk festival.
