It was not until the Han Dynasties that the eighth day of the 12th lunar month was formally (正式地) made the “Laba Festival”.

In many places in northern China, the tradition of making Laba garlic is more popular. ________? On La Ba, every business will calculate the income and expenditure (核算收支) of the year. Garlic, called “Suan” in Chinese, sounds the same as the word “calculate”. On that day, the debtor (债务人) will send a letter to people who borrowed money from him to say it is time to prepare to pay back the money. There’s an old saying in Beijing, “Laba porridge, Laba garlic, debtee (债主) sends a letter, debtor pays back the money” Some debtees may give Laba garlic to kindly remind them to pay back the money. So, Laba garlic is also seen as a symbol of being honest. Laba Festival is full of traditional culture.

Today, people across China are celebrating the Laba Festival. It is a traditional Chinese festival. It’s on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It is an important festival for Chinese people. To us, it means the traditional start of celebrations for the Spring Festival. The Laba Festival is a day of thanks for a good harvest. On this day, people usually eat Laba porridge, a porridge with eight kinds of mixed grains (谷物). Today many temples in some areas still have the tradition of giving out Laba porridge to the public. The porridge is believed to bring luck and joy. The festival is also the day for people to put garlic (蒜) in vinegar (醋). This Laba garlic will be eaten with dumplings on Chinese New Year’s Day. While in the past, it was used to let people remember to pay back the money they had borrowed, as Laba is near the end of the year and in Chinese garlic sounds the same as “calculate”(算). Customs are quite different across the country. People in Qianxian, East China’s Anhui Province, eat the Laba tofu a few days before. In Xining City, Northwest China’s Qinghai Province, people eat porridge with beef and mutton. 56．When is the Laba Festival? 57．What does the Laba Festival mean to Chinese people? 58．What is the Laba porridge like? 59．Why did people eat garlic in vinegar in the past? 60．How do you like the Laba Festival?
