on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Han people eat Laba porridge on this day. Our minority brother Ewenki also has a traditional festival called Laba! Do you know how the Ewenki Laba came? Let's talk about the Laba custom of Ewenki people.
What is the Laba custom of Ewenki people?
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, Ewenki people also celebrate their national Laba Festival. They also drink porridge on Laba Festival, but the name is different. In the eyes of Ewenki people, it also has special meaning with Laba porridge. But why do you say that?
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, Ewenki people eat 'Larry' (Laba porridge) with butter and sugar for Laba Festival; February 2 of the lunar calendar is the day when the dragon looks up. It is said that from this day on, frozen creatures gain life. Production will be stopped on this day, especially hunting is prohibited, knives, axes and other bladed tools are not allowed, and the food that needs to be cut with a knife will be prepared the day before. This is the custom of Laba porridge of Ewenki people on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Of course, as an immediate nation, they can't hunt or use knives. We have a folk saying that "if you don't drink Laba porridge, your chin will freeze off". Although the name of the festival is the same, in fact, it is also very similar.
