After the 12th day of the twelfth lunar month, it's the New Year. One year, one circle of the moon.
The Laba Festival has arrived, and the time for family reunion has begun.
— A traditional Chinese festival —
After the Laba Festival, it's the New Year
"Little children, don't be greedy. After the Laba Festival, it's the New Year", as this familiar children's song rings out once again in the streets and alleys, the annual Laba Festival arrives as scheduled. As the warm prelude to the Spring Festival, Laba not only kicks off the celebration of the New Year but also carries the profound meanings of reunion and blessings.
The essence of the Laba Festival lies in "integration" and "transformation" - blending various grains and seeds into a bowl of nourishing food that soothes the body and mind, and transforming the natural gifts into cultural memories passed down from generation to generation. This ancient wisdom is similar to how in modern manufacturing, basic materials are transformed through innovative processes into high-quality products that enhance the quality of life. In the process of integration and creation, the beauty of life is sustained.
On this festive occasion, Jiaxing Shengbang Technology Co., Ltd. with great enthusiasm, extends its most sincere wishes to all of you: May the Daxi Festival bring you good health and a harmonious family; may your career be as solid as a rock and thrive and prosper! May we work together, using hard work as the pen and practical action as the ink, to jointly draw a grand blueprint for development.
Traditional Foods for the Laba Festival
The customs of the Laba Festival are diverse. Besides drinking Laba porridge, there are also regional activities such as making Laba pickles and Laba noodles. These customs not only represent the adherence to traditions but also embody a kind of aesthetic of life:
1. Drinking Laba Porridge
Laba porridge is made by simmering eight kinds of ingredients such as rice, beans, and dried fruits. It symbolizes abundance and reunion. Since the Song Dynasty, it has become a symbol of the festival. Monasteries offer porridge to convey blessings, and the families enjoy it together, giving it as gifts to relatives and friends, praying for good health in the coming year.
2. Eating Laba Pickles
In North China, purple-skinned garlic is pickled with rice vinegar. As the garlic turns green, it is deliciously sour and spicy. It is often served with dumplings. In the past, businesses would settle accounts on Laba, where "garlic" and "calculation" are homophones. This not only avoids the mention of debt collection but also symbolizes the settlement of the past and the planning for the new year.
3. Making Laba Noodles
In areas like Shaanxi, noodles and beans are boiled in a soup, cooked over medium heat, and topped with scallions and oil. The aroma is irresistible. Eating noodles on the morning of Laba not only keeps warm but also symbolizes a long-lasting life and smooth living.
Innovation within Tradition
The true essence of the Laba Festival lies not only in commemorating traditions, but also in integrating this warmth and wisdom into contemporary life. Jiaxing Shengbang Technology takes "creating unique threads" as its mission, incorporating the cultural connotations of traditional seasonal festivals into modern life.
