Then he bathed in the river, washed the dirt off his body, and finally sat in meditation for seven days and seven nights under the bodhi tree before finally being a Buddha. So Buddhism made this day as “Cheng Dao Festival” to memorate. After Indian Buddhism was introduced into China, Chinese Buddhists believed that Sakyamuni became a Buddha in December, that is, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, so laba is the festival of enlightenment. In ancient times, every time this day, all the temples to recite sutras to memorate, and imitate the Mulnu offering chylous matter, with a variety of fragrant grain, fruit porridge for Buddha, known as “Laba porridge”.　　I listened to my mother’s statement immediately after the Internet to check some information about the “Laba Festival”, the original Laba porridge, folk also known as “seven treasure porridge”, “five porridge”. Different times, different regions, laba porridge ‘eating methods and practices are also different. People originally cooked porridge with red beans on laba Day.　　After checking, I could not help but sigh, the original “Laba Festival” there are such customs. I vowed to study hard and learn more about our Chinese customs.　　Laba Festival falls on the eighth day of the 12th month in the lunar calendar.

That morning, grandma came home with a bag full of vegetables and began to work in the kitchen, telling my parents and I to go home early in the afternoon and have laba porridge.

Looking at a pot of bright color and fragrant laba porridge, suddenly you will salivate, spoon a little porridge, savor, you will feel that this is not porridge but a small ‘bean exhibition. Especially the aroma of the beans and the sweetness of the rice, it’s really indescribable.　　In the evening, our family was drinking Laba porridge, talking about laba, grandma said, grandma in Shandong, they also every year in laba day on the garlic bubble, to New Year’s Eve, garlic is no longer white, but green or yellow. Green garlic green crystal clear, like a flawless jade, yellow garlic is a sweet taste, but we sichuan people do not eat, listen to grandma, I shouted grandma taught me to do laba garlic, grandma ao but I taught me to do laba garlic.
