# 元气亚米红 # These days I have been lazy to cook Laba porridge and bought Babao porridge instead, but I have eaten Laba porridge for so many years, and I don’t know why. (Bought 6 bottles and injured 2 bottles 😭😭) With information from the Internet Wikipedia: In the Qing Dynasty, the common people prepared Laba porridge to worship their ancestors, and distributed them to relatives and friends to express their blessings. It was like giving porridge to the poor, especially for the poor. Eating Laba porridge was a palace event. Fruit to the major monasteries. In the old days, eating Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was considered a custom for all households. Even the owner would feed a few spoonfuls to the chickens and dogs at home, and smear a few sips on the stems of flowers and fruits, believing that this would ensure the prosperity of the six animals and the fruit harvest, as in the nursery rhyme. Said: "Laba porridge, Laba rice, chickens will lay eggs after eating."
