A
The Chinese Lunar New Year of 2018 will fall on February the 16th. But there is a prelude(序幕) called the Laba Festival before the Spring Festival. It has been a long tradition that Chinese people eat Laba porridge and garlic to celebrate the event on this day. The festival is celebrated on the eighth day of December according to the traditional Chinese calendar.
Laba porridge is the most important dish for the Laba Festival. In general, it is made by rice, nuts, grains and dried fruit. The Laba Festival is used to respect our ancestors and gods and pray for the next year’s harvest. A folk tale said that Sakyamuni(释迦牟尼) once spent six years in learning Buddhidt doctrine(佛法) in a forest without eating anything. He was nearly hungery to death when a shepherdess went by and provided some porridge for him. Thanks to the generous shepherdess, sakyamuni recovered from the hunger and achieved enlightenment when he was 35. Therefore, the Laba Festival also makes people remember the day on which Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, reached enlightenment and became immortal(永恒的).
Just as an old saying goes,“After the Laba Festival , it’s high time to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.” So it means that the Laba Festival marks a series of celebrations for the important Spring Festival.

“The competition is so fierce that you can’t always stay at the top, no matter how late you work to finish your homework every night,” said Yang. “I couldn’t face my parents, and I cried many times.
