What do you mean Laba doesn't eat her food?

It means that Laba's married daughter should not go back to her family. If she eats her mother's house, she will become poor. For generations, she was poor and unable to repay her foreign debts. There is also a saying that it will be unlucky for Laba's mother-in-law to return to her family.

The old saying actually goes like this: "Laba doesn't eat mother's rice, and ancestors can't afford it." This is because in the past, food in rural areas was limited, and every household was afraid of not being able to eat, so people came up with this old saying in order to stay away from poverty and have a good hope for the coming year. Of course, this sentence is now seriously outdated and unreliable.

The main custom of Laba Festival is "drinking Laba porridge" and soaking Laba vinegar. China has been drinking Laba porridge for 1000 years. "Laba" was originally a Buddhist festival, but after several generations of evolution, it gradually became a household name. According to legend, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Sakyamuni watched the stars at night and became a Buddha. Therefore, Laba Festival is also called "Magic Weapon Festival", "Buddhist Daoism Festival" and "Daoism Society".
