In China, the 12th month of the lunar calendar is called Layue. The month is full of interesting festivals and traditions.
Laba Festival is the first festival in this month. From this day on, people begin to get ready for the Chinese New Year.
During Laba Festival, people eat hot Laba porridge. There are usually eight things in the porridge, like rice, red beans, peas, and some other fruit and nuts. The porridge is not just rich in nutrition that is good for people, but a hope for the coming of the Chinese New Year.
Laba porridge is not the only nice food in Layue. Laba garlic(腊八蒜) is popular in the north. People begin to put garlic in vinegar(醋) from that day on, and eat it with dumplings during the Chinese New Year. While in the south, people like making sausages(香肠).
Xiaonian is usually on the 23rd or 24th day of the last lunar month. Traditionally, it is an important day when people offer sacrifices(祭品) to the Kitchen God who looks after the family.
Cleaning the home is also an important thing to do to prepare for the Chinese New Year. It means sweeping away the dust of the old year and welcoming a new start. Now, the last thing for you to do is wait for the coming Chinese New Year.
