腊八节的英文：The Laba Festival
腊八节介绍：
都说腊七腊八冻掉下巴，不过今年南方的小伙伴们倒还在过夏天呢！古时，腊八是人们庆祝丰收、祭祀神灵祖先的重要日子。相传腊八这一天还是佛祖释迦牟尼成道之日，称为“法宝节”，是佛教盛大的节日之一。
Introduction to Laba Festival
As the folk saying goes: “The seventh and eighth days of the twelfth month get so cold that it can freeze your chin off.” Falling on the eighth day of the 12th lunar month, Laba Festival was originally an occasion for people to give sacrifices to their ancestors, and to pray to heaven and earth for a good harvest and good luck for the family. Many years later, it has become a Laba Congee eating event - a porridge that contains different types of rice, beans, dried nuts, bean curd, and meat.
The 12th lunar month is called 'La' in Chinese and eight is pronounced 'ba', which is how the name 'Laba' was derived. It is not only regarded as a day of sacrifice, but also the day on which Sakyamuni (founder of Buddhism) realized truth and became a Buddha.
The Laba Festival, which falls on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, marks the official start of Spring Festival.

Eating Laba Porridge Custom
The custom first originated in the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) and became popular in the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911). Now it has been over one thousand years that the Chinese people eat Laba Congee on Laba Festival day. As is known to all, since ancient times Chinese people have attached great importance to growing crops, so when the land bears a good harvest after years of hard work, the farmers will show great appreciation by sacrificing to the ancestors, and heaven and earth. Boiling Laba Congee is one way people celebrate their harvest.

The ingredients of Laba Porridge are various items that are full of nutrition. It is made of diversified rice (glutinous rice, oats, corns etc.), beans (soy beans, mung beans, kidney beans, cowpeas etc.), dried nuts (chestnuts, almonds, peanuts, etc.), bean curd and meat. Melon seeds, lotus seeds, pine nuts, sugar, and other preserved fruits are added to give more flavors. After 10 centuries of development, there are now over one hundred different cooking methods.
After hours of boiling, the porridge is offered as a sacrifice to the ancestors and is presented to friends before noon. Family members eat Laba Porridge together and leave some, symbolizing a good harvest next year. Some kind people hand out the porridge to the poor to show their pity. And in some regions people believe that pasting porridge on the flowers and fruit trees indicates the blossom of flowers and good fruition.
Laba Porridge is now regarded as a very nutritious food in winter that has the function of strengthening the spleen, stimulating the appetite, and soothing the nerves. It is welcomed by all people of different ages.

腊八节少了它不够“味” ——腊八蒜
泡腊八蒜是北方，尤其是华北地区的一个习俗。论大蒜对北方人的重要性，这个不必多言。北方人爱吃大蒜，已经到了“吃我的大蒜让他人闻去吧”的境界。腊八节前腌制一坛重口味的腊八蒜已成为北方人的必备功课。
顾名思义，就是在阴历腊月初八的这天来泡制蒜。其实材料非常简单，就是醋和大蒜瓣儿。做法也是极其简单，将剥了皮的蒜瓣儿放到一个可以密封的罐子，瓶子之类的容器里面，然后倒入醋，封上口放到一个冷的地方。慢慢地，泡在醋中的蒜就会变绿，最后会变得通体碧绿的，如同翡翠碧玉。

LABA GARLIC
In North China there is the custom of pickling garlic in vinegar on Laba Day. After some pickling, the garlic will turn green. This pickled garlic goes very well with dumplings. In Chinese, the words “garlic” and “calculate” have the same pronunciation; therefore, eating garlic on Laba Day is symbolic of reckoning the year’s income and expenses as year-end approaches.

腊八面
我国北方一些不产或少产大米的地方，人们不吃腊八粥，而是吃腊八面。隔天用各种果、蔬做成臊子，把面条擀好，到腊月初八早晨全家吃腊八面。看到这么丰盛的面条，也好想次有木有（//▽//）。
LABA NOODLES
Because northerners like foods made from wheat flour, they eat Laba noodles on Laba Day.

煮五豆
有些地方过腊八煮粥，不称“腊八粥”，而叫做煮“五豆”，有的在腊八当天煮，有的在腊月初五就煮了，还要用面捏些“雀儿头”，和米、豆（五种豆子）同煮。据说，腊八人们吃了“雀儿头”，麻雀头痛，来年不危害庄稼。煮的这种“五豆”，除了自食，也赠亲邻。每天吃饭时弄热搭配食用，一直吃到腊月二十三，象征连年有余。
BOILING FIVE KINDS OF BEANS
In some areas, people boil five kinds of beans and make a dough in the shape of sparrow’s head on the eighth day of the 12th lunar month. They believe if they eat “sparrow heads”, the sparrows will have headaches and not harm their crops in the coming year.

腊八吃冰
腊八前一天，人们一般用钢盆舀水结冰，等到了腊八节就脱盆冰并把冰敲成碎块。谁起得早，第一个打上冰，谁就更有好运气。这天的冰很神奇，吃了它在以后一年不会肚子疼。男女老少不怕牙冷舌冻，如吃冰糖一样，“嘎巴嘎巴”嚼食几块冰下肚，寓意消病除灾。
据说腊八正处在天气严寒的时候，这时吃一点冰就像为了预防感冒打预防针一样，提前接受一点锻炼，抵御寒冷。
吃冰虽有趣，可不要贪食哦~

EATING ICE
Northerners have a custom of leaving a basin of water outside the house to be frozen; they break this ice into pieces and eat it on Laba Day. The ice on this day is said to possess supernatural power, capable of keeping those who eat it free from stomachache for a whole year.
