How much do you know about Laba porridge in the twelfth lunar month?Laba Festival is an important festival in northern my country. The custom of this festival is to "drink Laba porridge". Laba Festival was originally a Buddhist festival, but after generations of evolution, it gradually became a household folk festival. In the pre-Qin period, some places in my country had the custom of offering sacrifices in the month when the old and the new year meet. The festival was in the twelfth lunar month, and the specific date was not fixed. This Laba sacrifice custom was regarded by later generations as one of the origins of the "Laba Festival". The objects of the La Festival are the ancestors and five household gods. The five household gods refer to "door, house, skylight, stove, and land inside the door". Laba porridge is not consumed on this day. The connotation of the folk La Festival is different from that of the Buddhist "Laba Festival". This La is not the same as that La. Laba porridge, also known as "Seven Treasures and Five Flavors Porridge", "Buddha Porridge", "Everyone's Rice", etc., is a porridge made from a variety of ingredients.The custom of eating Laba porridge on Laba Festival originated from Buddhism. Li Fu, a scholar from Suzhou in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "The porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was passed down from the Brahma kingdom. It is a blend of seven treasures and five fragrant flavors." The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment. In order not to forget the sufferings that the Buddha endured before he attained enlightenment, the ancient Indians ate mixed porridge on this day to commemorate the Buddha's enlightenment and becoming a Buddha on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Ever since Buddhism was introduced to China, temples have made porridge with fragrant grains and fruits and given it to disciples and believers. By the Song Dynasty, the custom of cooking and drinking porridge on the Laba Day gradually formed among the people. The earliest written record of Laba porridge can be found in the Song Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu's "Dreams of the Southern Song Dynasty" recorded: "The eighth day of this month is called Laba in temples. Large temples all prepare porridge with five flavors, which is called Laba porridge." On the eighth day of the twelfth month, every government office, temples and ordinary people's homes have to make Laba porridge. By the Qing Dynasty, the custom of drinking Laba porridge became even more popular. The history of eating Laba porridge in my country is more than one thousand years old. |
