Laba Porridge holds a special place in traditional Chinese culture. It is much more than just a bowl of food;it's a symbol that carries the long-standing history and rich values(价值)of the Chinese nation.
The story of Laba Porridge dates back to ancient times. In the past,on the 8th day of the 12th lunar month,people would make this porridge to offer sacrifice(祭品)to their ancestors and gods. They hoped that by doing so,they could get good luck and have a great harvest in the coming year. This old custom has grown into the tradition we know today—making and eating Laba Porridge on Laba Festival.
Making Laba Porridge is a meticulous process. We need to be very patient with it. People usually use many different things to make it. Rice and millet(谷子)are the basic parts. Red beans are added because people think they can drive away bad luck. Mung beans(绿豆)make the porridge taste fresh,and peanuts(花生)mean a long and healthy life. Dried dates,which stand for a sweet life,and raisins(葡萄干),representing plenty,are also common in the porridge. When the family makes Laba Porridge together,everyone joins in. Some wash the grains,and some stir the pot. The nice smell of the porridge makes the family feel closer.
Even in modern,busy times,the tradition of making and eating Laba Porridge remains strong. It helps us remember where we come from. Whether in big cities or small villages,people still take time to make this special porridge. They share it with family,neighbors,and friends,spreading the warm feeling of the festival.
