All things "porridge" at the age of laba
Summary:
As we enter the threshold of the twelfth month, the flavor of the year will gradually become stronger.
Laba Festival is an important festival years ago. The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is also the Buddha's day. On this day, the monastery set up porridge sheds and served porridge to the faithful and civilians. On the 8th of December, Liang Song vulgar, every family handed down her monk porridge. After the folk follow suit, also in this day cooking porridge for reading.
Laba porridge must be the more grains and nuts, the better, with the implication of abundant grains. When I was a child, I thought I had to make up eight kinds of rice beans. I counted the rice beans in a bowl as a sacred and solemn thing.
In the winter when autumn grain is in storage and farming is reduced, a bowl of coarse cereal laba porridge, all kinds of rice, all kinds of beans, red dates and peanuts gather together to enjoy the joy and heat and accept the inspection of farmers. This is also the most comfortable time for farmers. Neighbors in the countryside always hold their laba porridge and go to their neighbors to chat about farming and family affairs. The twelfth month is the harvest of a year's farming. People can take a rest and wait for the New Year.
The Laba Festival, which has been followed so far, can also be seen as a tribute to the harvest and the devotion to the farming culture. Modern people often say that life needs a sense of ritual, in fact, the ancients have already practiced it.

Song Lu You
The wind and meaning of the twelfth month have already been in spring, and the time has passed by my neighbor because of the scattered policy.
In the grass smoke desert Chai Men, cattle trail is heavy on the wild waterfront.
The only thing that is required for many diseases is drugs, and the poor department is idle.
At present, Buddha porridge is more fed with each other and more aware of the new things in Jiangcun.
On Laba Festival, Lu You, a poet who resigned from office and lived in the countryside, passed by his neighbor's house with a stick. The wind of the twelfth lunar month is warm and warm, with a faint breath of spring. Smoke curled up in the gate of the farm house, and the hoof prints of cattle on the river in the countryside were clearly discernible. Riverside villages, early spring is coming. When will the spring of the poet Lu You come? How can he be a sick medicine jar and an idle man without taxes and corvee.
The neighbor gave Laba porridge, which warmed the stomach and warmed the poet's heart. Phenological solar terms cycle to change, give years and life, endless vivid breath.
Laba Festival, there is also another elegant way to pass.

Wild shop in winter. Green wine spring thick.
Read now, this meaning who. The stream is endless, the mountain is endless.
There are several plum branches, several bamboo poles and several pine trees.
Basket and public opinion are excited, and the clock is sparse at dusk.
Looking at the lonely village, the oblique day is in a hurry. Night window snow array, Xiao pillow cloud peak.
He became a fisherman, a top fishing hat, and a fisherman.
The laba festival of poets and friends, you are leisurely. In the shop, I had a good time with my friends. The wine was full of cups. Winter was coming to an end and the breath of spring was quietly spreading. Wandering in the mountains and rivers, the streams are beautiful and the mountains are green. A few cold plum trees, a clump of bamboo and a few pines added some elegance to the mountain forest.
Take the bamboo sedan chair to enjoy the play, unconsciously is already dusk. Only the twilight bells were heard, and the setting sun was hidden in the small village. At night, a snow came quietly, fluttering and sprinkling, piled up in the window. When I woke up in the morning, the mountains outside the window were undulating and the clouds were shrouded in mountain haze. I only felt like I was sleeping on the mountain and the clouds. So relaxed and happy, is it not beautiful to put on a coir raincoat, wear a coir hat, hold a fishing rod, be a fisherman, and fish in the mountains and rivers?
Such a leisurely Laba Festival really makes people yearn for it today..
In the Zhou Dynasty, the twelfth month was the day of offering sacrifices to the gods. The wax day depicted by the poet, the plum blossoms open, the wind and the sun warm.

Snow and wind send leftover luck, no harm when and.
Plum willow clip door plant, a good flower.
I sing, how much is there in the wine!
I don't know how much, Zhang Shan has strange songs.
The coldest days of the year are about to pass. The cold wind and snow are getting away, and the weather is getting warmer. On both sides of the front door of the house, a row of willows and a row of plum trees were planted. Plum blossoms, clusters open in the roadside. On the wax day, the poet drinks and appreciates the plum blossom, forgets to sing, and it is really rare for the listener to call directly. How much joy there is to drink wine, I don't understand how much, only know that the beautiful scenery of Zhang Shan, heard many wonderful and beautiful songs.
Nowadays, in the rush and noise of modern life, people are not free for a moment. At the end of the year, there is no time to stop. Fortunately, several festivals in a year can make people calm down, slow down, and have half a day's leisure to take a vacation for themselves. It is a wonderful and solemn gift of time to appreciate the inheritance of festivals that have been followed for a long time.
If you can't watch the mountains and rivers, drink and enjoy the plum, and have an elegant Laba Festival like the ancients, then cook Laba porridge with slow fire and taste the fragrant grains and the income of one year. The laba festival, filled with fireworks, is plain and warm.
Happy Laba
