[Traditional Chinese Festival] Customs of 臘八節(Laba Festival) in China.Eng Sub

Today(January 18, 2024) is the traditional Chinese festival,臘八節 Laba Festival.Let’s learn about some interesting traditions and customs about this festival.

【About 臘八節(Laba Festival)】

Laba Festival (Chinese:臘八節) is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the eighth day of the month of La (or Layue 臘月), the twelfth month of the Chinese calendar. It is the beginning of the Chinese New Year period. It is customary on this day to eat Laba congee.

Laba Festival was not on a fixed day until the Southern and Northern dynasties, when it was influenced by Buddhism and was fixed on the eighth day of twelfth month, which was also the enlightenment day of the Buddha. Therefore, many customs of the Laba Festival are related to Buddhism.

The Laba Festival's name represents its date on the Chinese calendar. La is the name of the twelfth and final month, and ba means "eight/八". In ancient China, the "eight/八" referred to making sacrifices to eight gods at the end of the year.

In its original form, the festival was celebrated by making sacrifices to gods and ancestors to wish for good fortune, health, safety, and a good harvest in the new year. The word la originally referred to these sacrifices.

After Buddhism spread to China during the first century CE, the festival was used as commemoration of Gautama Buddha's enlightenment.It was given a fixed date (the eighth day of the twelfth month) during the Northern and Southern dynasties.

【Customs of 臘八節/Laba Festival?】

Laba congee/臘八粥

Traditionally, the consumption of Laba congee is an important element of the festival. There are multiple legendary accounts of the dish's origins. One story says that it originated in the Song dynasty with Buddhist monasteries giving congee to people in honor of the story that Sakyamuni (Gautama Buddha) reached enlightenment on the eighth day of the twelfth month after eating congee.

Laba congee or Laba porridge (臘八粥; Làbāzhōu) is very popular in many places in China. Different kinds of rice, beans, nuts and dried fruits are the main ingredients. People believe that it's good for health in the winter.

It is also known as "eight-treasure congee" (八宝粥; Bā bǎo zhōu)and is usually made with eight or more ingredients, representing good luck. Eight is a lucky number in China, and the ba in Laba also means eight.

There are many variations of Laba congee in different regions of China. Ingredients can include mixed grains, such as rice, millet, and barley; beans and nuts such as mung beans, azuki beans, lotus seeds, peanuts, walnuts, and chestnuts; dried fruit such as red dates, longan, raisins, and goji berries; and other ingredients such as vegetables and meat.

2.Laba garlic/臘八蒜

Another Laba food is Laba garlic, which is particularly popular in northern China.Garlic in Chinese (蒜; suàn) has the same pronunciation as calculate (算; suàn), and it is said that on the Laba Festival businesses should balance their books and calculate their revenues and expenditures for the year.Laba garlic is made by soaking garlic in vinegar. Laba garlic is soaked in vinegar from the Laba Festival until Chinese New Year. The garlic and vinegar are then used alongside Chinese dumplings (jiaozi) around Chinese New Year.

Lunar New Year 2023

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate! Lunar New Year is celebrated in countries all over the world, though it is largely celebrated in Asia and is sometimes called Chinese New Year or Korean New Year or Vietnamese New Year, etc. depending on which country’s celebrations one is referring to. In Chinese, it is most often called the Spring Festival.

This lunar year is the year of the Rabbit (although in Vietnam is it the year of the Cat!), so we are sharing these stories of Brer Rabbit’s adventures as told by Ennis Rees and illustrated by Edward Gorey. More of Brer Rabbit’s Tricks was published in 1968 by Young Scott Books.

Brer Rabbit stories originate in the African diaspora and were told widely among enslaved people in the American South. The stories were then co-opted by white American authors, for example in the “Uncle Remus” tales written by Joel Chandler Harris and Disney’s film Song of the South. The stories in More of Brer Rabbits Tricks were developed based on Harris’s tellings of the stories.

~♫ ?

The lyrics go unsung (come thou fount of every blessing, etc) but he hums the melody under his breath. Gabriel misses music; he plays the organ for Onoma sometimes, but it's not the songs he knows.

It's complicated. To remember a snatch of song and feel any mess of emotions—nostalgia, desire, frustration, sorrow—but he still likes this one.

#sunsage #old meme lol. i think i rb'd it after i had a dream with this song in it for some reason???#(i only know two hymns; the other one is heyr himna smiður which is. well. icelandic. certified lune moment)#+ shoutouts 2 chinese folk mythology for not being xtianity lol. xmas is a nightmare for gabe at least his bf doesnt celebrate #(the tradeoff for this is that he has to show up at the lunar new year party that macaque crashes #and they have to awkwardly avoid eye contact all night)
