The end of the year begins cold, and the timing alternates.
Today is the eighth day of the first lunar month of the Year of the Ugly Year, and it is the Eighth Festival of the Year of Lapa.
The sweet glutinous porridge of Laba is the taste of the year in everyone's heart, and it is also the taste of home.
On this day, in addition to drinking Laba porridge, there are also customs such as pickling lapa garlic, boiling lapa eight noodles, and eating lapa eight ice.
No matter what kind of custom, it is the best blessing for people's lapa and the coming year!
The Book of Sui and the Book of Etiquette records: "Lapa, receive also." ”
It symbolizes the alternation of old and new, the old year will end, and the new year will come.
"Zhuangzi" has clouds:
"Between the heavens and the earth of life, if the white colt crosses the gap, it is suddenly just that." ”
Looking back at 2021, this year's epidemic, floods, torrential rains...
This year is an extraordinary year.
But even though the pace is difficult, we still do not change our original intentions, and rush to 2022 with full expectations.
Now, Lapa Has arrived.
Saying goes:
"After the eighth year, it is a year, a year and a year and a reunion."
Entering the Waxing Moon, after the Lap 8, the footsteps of the New Year are getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere of reunion is becoming more and more intense.
People began to "busy years": cleaning houses, buying New Year goods, curing bacon, cutting new clothes...
The young children blossomed happily in their hearts and could not suppress the excitement of the New Year: "Children and children, don't be hungry, after the eighth year is the Year."
Lapa porridge to drink for a few days, mile mile la la la twenty-three, twenty-three sweeping day, twenty-four big writing, twenty-five to make tofu ..."
This familiar nursery rhyme is still sung loudly by children.
"La-la-
In the midst of this ice and snow, everything is hidden, vitality looms, and the cycle of a new year is about to begin.
Lapa is also a day to look back at the past and look forward to the New Year.
No matter how mixed the past year has been, with ups and downs, please pack your bags, bring your usual heart, and we will continue to set sail.
Luo Zhenyu said in his 2022 New Year's Eve speech:
"2021 is not easy for many people, and everyone may be more or less panicked.
Not only are you panicking, but I'm also panicking.
But you can pour a glass of wine, or make a pot of tea, and when you meet someone and something that you feel, you can raise a glass to him and pay tribute to this touch in your heart. ”
As he said, as long as 2022 is greeted with a pocket of hard work, then no matter how long the night is, the day will always come as expected.
Winter and snow disappear in spring, year after year.
Life is like a circle, and the end is also the beginning.
The Waxing Moon is the end of the year and the beginning of the following year.
In the past year, no matter how many unfulfilled wishes and unfulfilled regrets, please turn the page and look forward.
Say goodbye to the past, let the memories clear zero, we can lighten up, in the new year, go all out, the future can be expected.
The Book of Rites says, "La, hunt also." ”
In the agricultural years, people will use the hunting prey obtained from hunting to worship the gods on the occasion of the waxing moon in order to pray for blessings and disasters.
The first god Shennong, the water god gutter, the insect god...
This grand wax festival is not only a good harvest achieved in the past year, but also a blessing of gratitude to the gods, so that the wind and rain will be smooth and the grain will be abundant.
It can be seen that the Festival of Lapa has been a festival of thanksgiving since ancient times.
We also need to be grateful to those who are important in life.
Our parents gave us life, brought us to this vast world, worked tirelessly, blocked the storm of reality behind us, and allowed us to grow up without worry.
At any time, in the eyes of our parents, we are all children who have not grown up, and we are the biggest concern on the tip of their hearts.
With the love of parents, even in the middle of winter, the heart is still warm and melting.
Mencius Zeng Yun: "The greatest filial piety is greater than respect." ”
On this day, take the time to send a video to your parents, make a phone call, ask them how they are doing, pick a suitable gift for their parents, and chat about their hearts;
If you can accompany your parents, you will personally boil a bowl of porridge for them.
Accompanying and caring for parents with practical actions is the best gratitude to parents.
In addition to our parents, we would like to thank our friends who are with us.
They may meet each other in pingshui or take care of each other, and they are all precious companions in the journey of life.
Some words cannot be said to outsiders, but they can be said directly to friends.
Some emotions, you can't bear it, you can talk to your friends to relieve.
Thank you to those friends who do not give up and are still waiting for us at the end of time.
It is their presence that makes us feel that there is love in the world, and we are never alone.
When Laba arrives, about three or two confidants, cook porridge and cook tea, raise a cup and say "gratitude", the friendship will be more long-lasting.
The Buddha said that one should cherish one's fate, and one should be grateful whenever one encounters it.
Be thankful for all those who appear in our lives.
Grateful for the past year, whether it is joys and sorrows, ups and downs, it is a gift from time to year.
There is no road in vain in life, nor will it meet people who have no luck, grateful for all this, enriching our experience, and brilliantly our lives.
People often say: "The fireworks of the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals." ”
How can you get less than a bowl of steaming porridge?
Regarding Lapa Porridge, there is such a legend in folklore.
It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang suffered in prison before his death.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was cold and hungry, was cold and hungry in his cell, and he was miserable.
He looked around for something to satisfy, and finally pulled out a little red beans, rice, dates and other seven or eight kinds of grains in a rat hole.
He boiled these miscellaneous grains into a small bowl of porridge, hot porridge under the stomach, hunger and cold swept away, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.
That day happened to be the eighth day of the first lunar month, and Zhu Yuanzhang named this porridge "Lapa Porridge".
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and every year on the eighth day of the first lunar month, he would boil a pot of Lapa Porridge to remember the painful past of that year.
Since the Song Dynasty, Chinese has had the tradition of drinking Laba porridge.
As the saying goes, there are seven treasures in the porridge of Lapa Ba, jujube means "early", chestnut shadow "force", early efforts, and strive for next year's harvest of grains.
Sour, sweet and salty flavor of the five flavors, I hope you are all "porridge" all.
A bowl of Laba porridge, full of delicious food, carries the family's concern for the wanderers in a foreign land, looking forward to their early return home and family reunion.
When we were young, we always remembered the bowl of sweet and thick porridge.
On the first night, my parents washed the glutinous rice, put in red beans, chestnuts, peanuts, dates and other ingredients, poured it into a casserole, first boiled it over high heat, and then simmered it slowly for most of the night.
Shen Congwen once described the children's love for Lapa Porridge in "Laba Porridge":
"Children who are new to calling daddy, big children who can go out and call foreign cars, old children with many white beards on their mouths...
When it comes to Laba porridge, who doesn't immediately have a sweet and greasy feeling in their mouths? ”
Therefore, whenever the smoke rises and the aroma of Laba porridge gradually drifts away, it is difficult for children to quiet down, and they always can't wait to eat it.
The adults were not in a hurry, guarding the cauldron and stirring patiently.
Use a thin fire to boil out the original taste of the ingredients and boil them into the most comfortable warmth in the cold winter.
Eating a bowl of porridge means that everything is "porridge" complete, and it is complete.
Time flies, and people only realize a truth after middle age: being a person is like boiling porridge.
Not impatient, meticulous, in order to do things just right.
Writer Huang Tong wrote in "Life Always Has to Be Slow":
"When good things come, don't get carried away; when bad things come, don't panic.
Luck or misfortune in life, there is no certainty.
Life is all boiled out, stay up, everything will pass. ”
Life is like a pot of porridge, simmering slowly, and there is a taste.
That lonely journey, that thorny road, as long as you hold on, survive, the next intersection can see the sun.
"The sky is dark enough, and the stars will shine."
Boiling is the experience of life, a kind of forbearance, and it is also an unforgettable experience in life.
Today, may you drink a bowl of warm Porridge, everything "porridge" is complete, and the future is all sweet!
Today is the Lapa Festival, no matter where you are, don't forget to drink a bowl of warm Laba porridge, warm your body and heart, healthy and happy!

May you slow down the fire of life and boil it out of the taste, so that it will go smoothly.
Click "watching", we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new together, with gratitude, in the ordinary red dust, live a tasteful, steaming.
