Laba Festival is a typical northern festival, with customs such as drinking Laba porridge and eating Laba garlic.Laba Festival is a Buddhist festival to commemorate the enlightenment of Sakyamuni Buddha, and Laba porridge is also related to Buddhism. According to Buddhist records, before Sakyamuni attained enlightenment, he practiced asceticism for many years until he became emaciated. He then realized that asceticism was not the ultimate way to liberation, and decided to give it up. At this time, he met a shepherdess who presented him with gruel. After eating it, his strength was restored. He sat under the Bodhi tree and meditated. On December 8th, he achieved enlightenment. To commemorate this event, Buddhists hold a ceremony on this day and cook porridge with rice and fruits to offer to the Buddha. Ever since Buddhism was introduced into China, various temples have held rituals on this day, imitating the story of the shepherdess offering gruel to the Buddha before his enlightenment. They use fragrant grains and fruits to cook porridge as a sacrifice to the Buddha, which is called Laba porridge. What are the folk songs and proverbs about Laba Festival?1.
