Gansu Salted Laba

Overview

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is a traditional folk festival in my country - Laba Festival. The vast areas south of the Yangtze River, northeast and northwest China still retain the custom of drinking Laba porridge on Laba day. Laba porridge is made from eight kinds of fresh grains and fruits harvested that year. It is generally a sweet porridge. However, many farmers in Shaanxi, northern Shaanxi, and Gansu regions like to eat Laba salty porridge. On this day, in addition to eating Laba porridge for your family, you also need to feed some to livestock, chickens and dogs, and put some on doors, walls, and trees for good luck.
