Laba is the year, one year one reunion

Some people say that the origin of eating porridge on laba has something to do with the story of Buddha becoming a Buddha. Some people say that it comes from ancestor sacrifice, praying for harvest, good luck and warding off evil...

No matter what kind, eating a bowl of rice porridge on laba is not only a tradition, but also a kind of natural nourishment.

Young Dynasty Food (Excerpt)

Early in the morning sunshine

Lighting a corner of a high wall

The magpie chirped

The patio flowerbeds are verdant

The servant girl whispers a meal

Red sandalwood round table served in four dishes

Gusu sauce duck

Pinghu bad egg

Tear steamed bamboo shoots

Dried beans and maranthead

Bright white warm fragrant rice porridge

Nothing is more gentle than porridge

Dongpo, Jiannan are addicted to porridge

Read to a lifetime of exile

I can't find a gentle person like porridge
