As an old Chinese saying goes, the Spring Festival comes right after the Laba Festival, so get ready for a bowl of Laba porridge.
Today, people across China are celebrating the Laba Festival. It is a traditional Chinese festival. It's on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It is an important festival for Chinese people. To us, it means the traditional start of celebrations for the Spring Festival.
The Laba Festival is a day of thanks for a good harvest. On this day, people usually eat Laba porridge, a porridge with eight kinds of mixed grains(谷物). Today many temples in some areas still have the tradition of giving out Laba porridge to the public. The porridge is believed to bring luck and joy.
The festival is also the day for people to put garlic(蒜) in vinegar(醋). This Laba garlic will be eaten with dumplings on Chinese New Year's Day. While in the past, it was used to let people remember to pay back the money they had borrowed, as Laba is near the end of the year and in Chinese garlic sounds the same as "calculate"(算).
Customs are quite different across the country. People in Qianxian, East China's Anhui Province, eat the Laba tofu a few days before. In Xining City, Northwest China's Qinghai Province, people eat porridge with beef and mutton.
