The origin of Laba, about 300 words, don t have more, hurry

Laba porridge, you can't finish it, eat Laba porridge and you will have a good harvest." The eighth day of the lunar month is the traditional folk festival of our country - "Laba Festival". On this day, every household in Guanzhong has to cook a pot of "Laba porridge" and have a good meal.

Not only adults and dolls eat, but also feed livestock, chickens and dogs, and wipe some on the door, wall, and tree, so as to be auspicious.

The custom of "eating Laba porridge" during the Laba Festival has a long history, and it has begun to rise since human beings entered the agricultural society. In ancient times, "wax" is the meaning of sacrifice, far away in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, our country has the habit of worshipping heaven and earth, gods, and ancestors together, and this kind of comprehensive sacrifice is called "joint sacrifice". This kind of sacrifice expresses a simple and kind mental activity of the ancient people, which means:

At the end of the year, you can get abundant food, and you should thank the gods! So I chose the eighth day of the lunar month to cook a pot of "Laba porridge" to pay tribute to the gods, celebrate the harvest, and wish a greater harvest in the coming year. This formed the custom of eating Laba porridge on Laba Festival.

In the process of inheritance of the Laba Festival, there is another legend that the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, ate the porridge cooked by the sheep herding girl with apple glutinous rice dumplings on the eighth day of the lunar month, and became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree. Later generations of people who believed in Buddhism, every time on the eighth day of the lunar month, they would recite scriptures and eat porridge, which added religious colors to the Laba Festival. In any case, people eat laba porridge to celebrate the harvest.

The eighth day of the lunar month is the Laba Festival, and "La" means "Layue", why is the twelfth lunar month called "Layue"? Historical researchers pointed out that in ancient China, "wax" was originally a kind of ritual, called "big wax". In the Shang Dynasty, people used the hunted birds and beasts to hold four major rituals in spring, summer, autumn and winter every year to worship their ancestors and the gods of heaven and earth.

Among them, the winter festival is the largest and the most grand. Later, the winter ritual was called "wax sacrifice". Therefore, people call December "Wax Moon", and the day of the winter festival is called "Wax Day".

At that time, there was no fixed day for the day. In the Han Dynasty, it was clear that the third day after the winter solstice was "Laba Day", and Laba porridge was not eaten, but only a day to sacrifice to the gods. It was not until the Northern and Southern Dynasties that the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was fixed as the "Laba Festival".

It is used by people to worship their ancestors and the gods of heaven and earth, and to pray for a good harvest and good fortune.

Laba Festival is originally a Buddhist festival. According to Indian Buddhist scriptures, Shakyamuni was a monk before becoming a Buddha, but after six years of ascetic life, he still could not get rid of all kinds of troubles in life spiritually. By this time he was hungry and exhausted, but fortunately a shepherdessman brought him chyle (milk porridge) to restore his strength.

Then he bathed in the river, washed away the dirt from his body, and finally meditated under the Bodhi tree for seven days and seven nights, and finally became a Buddha. So Buddhism took this day as a day"Enlightenment Day"to commemorate. After Indian Buddhism was introduced to China, Chinese Buddhists believed that Shakyamuni became a Buddha on the eighth day of the twelfth month (i.e., the month of La)."Laba"For the Enlightenment Festival.

In ancient times, every day on this day, all monasteries should chant sutras to commemorate, and imitate the shepherd girl to offer chyle, with a variety of fragrant grains, fruits to cook porridge for the Buddha, called"Laba porridge"。

The founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni.

He saw that all beings were suffering from birth, old age, sickness and death, and was dissatisfied with the theocratic rule of the Brahmin at that time, so he gave up the throne and became a monk. There was no harvest at the beginning, and after six years of asceticism, on the eighth day of the lunar month, he became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree.

During these six years of asceticism, he ate only one hemp and one rice a day. Later generations will not forget his suffering, and eat porridge on the eighth day of the lunar month every year to commemorate it. "Laba" became the "Buddha's Enlightenment Day".

Laba is a grand festival of Buddhism. Before the liberation, the Buddhist temples in various places bathed in the Buddha meeting, held chanting, and imitated the legend of Sakyamuni before enlightenment, the shepherd girl offered chyle, and cooked porridge with fragrant grains and fruits to offer to the Buddha, called "Laba porridge". And the laba porridge was given to the disciples and good men and women, and it became a custom among the people in the future.

It is said that before the eighth day of the lunar month, some monasteries are made by monks holding bowls and bowls, along the streets, and the collected rice, chestnuts, dates, nuts and other materials are boiled into Laba porridge and distributed to the poor. Legend has it that after eating it, you can get the blessing of the Buddha, so the poor call it "Buddha porridge".

Laba Festival, commonly known as bai

LabaHan du

In the traditional festival zhi, the folk spread the custom of eating dao "Laba porridge" and soaking Laba garlic (some places are "Laba rice"). In Henan and other places, Laba porridge is also known as "everyone's rice", which is a kind of festival food custom to commemorate the national hero Yue Fei.

Since ancient times, Laba has been used as a ritual to worship ancestors and gods (including door gods, household gods, house gods, stove gods, and well gods) to pray for a good harvest and good fortune. According to the record of "Ritual Records: Suburban Special Sacrifice", the wax sacrifice is "the twelfth month of the year, gathering all things and asking for food." The Xia Dynasty called Lari "Jiaping", the Shang Dynasty as "Qing Ceremony", and the Zhou Dynasty as "Big Wax"; Because it is held in December, it is called the month of wax, and the day of the wax festival is called the wax day.

The third day after the winter solstice in the pre-Qin period, later Buddhism was introduced, and in order to expand its influence in the local area, the traditional culture of the Lapa Festival was set as the day of Buddha's enlightenment. Later, with the prevalence of Buddhism, the Buddha's enlightenment day and the day of the Buddha merged, and it was called the "Dharma Treasure Festival" in the field of Buddhism. The beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was fixed on the eighth day of the lunar month.

Today is January 27th, and it is Laba Day. On the day of Laba Festival, every family has to drink Laba porridge to celebrate this festival.

Laba porridge has a history of more than 1,000 years in our country, Laba porridge uses five kinds of materials, which means that the five grains are abundant, and I hope that the crops will be good and bumper in the coming year.

On the day of Laba Festival, the weather was extremely cold. But my mother's laba porridge made of red beans, jujubes, walnut kernels, rice, and soybeans makes people forget the cold outside, but are silent in the sweet taste of the laba porridge.

My brother and I drank hot Laba porridge, and looked at Love Apartment 4, laughing and drinking at the same time, and were choked many times, but the laughter still didn't stop, as if it was specially prepared for Laba Festival.

Drinking laba porridge and watching TV, let's sing and laugh together and spend a wonderful day in this special program today!

Today is Laba, it should be the day to drink Laba porridge, but I can't eat it, because I don't see where to sell, and it's not easy for me to do...

But it's nothing, anyway, I rarely have any festivals outside, because it's no different from living alone, it's not the same as usual, I should go to work, I should go home, I should go to sleep. I've long been accustomed to doing the same thing over and over again day after day.

However, the holiday is not a festive day for me, because it is even more lonely.

The phone won't ring, the friends in QQ are not there, the festival has become unusually silent, and a person can't hear any sound in the room, only the game that has been played many times scrolling on the computer screen.

So what's the solution!

After all, everyone has to go out to play with friends during the festival, whether it is ordinary friends or boyfriends and girlfriends, they will definitely go to KTV, restaurants, or two people to go shopping in pairs. In short, it is a very happy thing.

Although there is a little jealousy in my heart, but there is no way to do it, who will leave a friend or boyfriend and girlfriend, and stay for a lifeless me to hit **, maybe it will also sweep away the interest of the festival! Hehe.

So, the little rabbits still have to look at the few stars in the sky alone, and talk to them about their inner affairs, they are still very loyal listeners, although the stars have plummeted a lot after changing places, but at least there will be a few of them.

I don't want to write a diary, so I sighed and turned off the computer to write**, I hope that the new ** will be followed.

Finally, I wish a friend who supports the rabbit, there is a new atmosphere in the New Year, you can find the other half you like or like yourself, in short, the more good things the better.
