What are the taboos of Laba?
On Laba Festival, the married daughter can't go back to her mother's house, saying that going back to her mother's house on Laba Festival will make her mother-in-law unlucky, and her mother-in-law will die in her stomach a hundred years later. Another way of saying it: "Laba doesn't eat her mother's food, and her ancestors can't afford it", which means she will be poor. From the perspective of geomantic omen, it is cold in December. If you rush into a new house, the cold atmosphere will block the bustling atmosphere at home, which sounds reasonable in natural science. There is a saying that "eat porridge early and harvest food early next year", so it is not noon to eat Laba porridge. These customs and taboos may seem ridiculous today. With the development of society, people are increasingly diluting these taboos. As long as you are happy, you can live as you want.
Laba Festival, that is, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, is also called "Magic Weapon Festival", "Buddhist Enlightenment Festival" and "Enlightenment Meeting". Originally a Buddhist festival to commemorate the enlightenment of Sakyamuni Buddha, it gradually became a folk festival.
