Laba Festival

纠正：童谣中：三十晚上熬一宿(xiǔ)，宿读作“宿(xiǔ)”，不是住宿的宿(sù)的读音。 【腊八节的由来】 腊八节，又称为“法宝节”、“佛成道节”、“成道会”等，是每年农历十二月初八的传统节日。这个节日最初是佛教纪念释迦牟尼佛成道的节日，后来逐渐也成为民间节日。腊八粥是这个节日的标志性食物，是用多种食材熬制而成的粥。每逢腊八这天，不论是朝廷官府、寺院还是黎民百姓家都要制作腊八粥。在中国北方，有“小孩小孩你别馋，过了腊八就是年”之说，过腊八意味着拉开了过年的序幕。 Laba Festival, also known as “Dharma Treasure Festival“, “Buddha Enlightenment Festival“, “Enlightenment Meeting“, etc., is a traditional festival held on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year. This festival was originally a Buddhist festival commemorating the enlightenment of Sakyamuni Buddha, and later it gradually became a folk festival. Laba porridge is the iconic food of this festival. It is a porridge made from a variety of ingredients. On Laba day, no matter the government, monasteries or ordinary people’s homes, Laba porridge is made. In northern China, there is a saying, “Children, don’t be greedy, it’s the New Year after Laba Festival.“ Celebrating Laba Festival means the beginning of the New Year. 【童谣】 小孩小孩你别馋，过了腊八就是年。腊八粥喝几天，哩哩啦啦二十三。二十三糖瓜粘，二十四扫房日，二十五炸豆腐，二十六煮白肉，二十七杀年鸡，二十八把面发，二十九蒸馒头，三十晚上熬一宿，大年初一扭一扭。
