[2025 宿迁宿豫区期末改编] As an old Chinese saying goes, the Spring Festival comes right after the Laba Festival, so get ready for a bowl of Laba porridge(粥).
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.
On this day, people usually eat Laba porridge, a porridge with eight kinds of grains(谷物). Today many temples in some areas still have the tradition of giving out Laba porridge to people. We eat Laba porridge to give thanks for a good harvest and to wish for good luck and health in the coming year. The festival is also the day for people to put garlic (蒜) in vinegar(醋). We eat this Laba garlic with dumplings on Chinese New Year’s Day.
Customs are quite different across the country. People in Yixian, Anhui Province, eat Laba tofu a few days before. In Xining City, Northwest China’s Qinghai Province, people eat porridge with beef and mutton.
More and more schools hold cultural activities to let students learn more about traditional Chinese festivals like the Laba Festival. Many people make some videos to introduce them after doing some research and post them online.
