Laba porridge
Overview
Laba porridge is a kind of porridge made with a variety of ingredients during the Laba Festival. It is also called Qibao and five-flavor porridge. Eating Laba porridge to celebrate the harvest has been passed down to this day. In ancient times, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chinese people had a custom of eating Laba porridge (or Laba rice in some places). "Yanjing Chronicles·Laba Porridge": For Laba porridge, yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, red beans, peeled jujube paste, etc. are cooked in boiling water, and then dyed with red peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar, and grapes for external use. . Laba porridge, like Laba rice, is a remnant of the ancient wax festival. "Book of Sacrifice: Jiao Te Sheng" says that the wax sacrifice is held in the twelfth month of the year, and is used to gather all things together and enjoy them. Laba porridge is made of food from all directions and cooked in one pot with rice, which means to gather all things and harmonize thousands of spirits. After Laba Festival, it’s the New Year. Time flies so fast. It’s time to buy New Year’s goods again☺️☺️ Are you ready?
