Labazhou, a kind of rice porridge, is traditionally served on the eighth day of the 12th lunar month.
Since ba, the number eight, has very good connotations in Chi-nese, Labazhou is also known as eight treasure porridge —Babaozhou.
Here eight does not necessarily mean exactly eight; it just means many.
The dish is also tasty, with its combination of colourful and sweet ingredients. Eating it is not limited to only the eighth day of the 12th month. Chinese people enjoy eight treasure porridge throughout theyear.
The common way of making Labazhou are to boil rice, millet, glutinous millet, glutinous rice, chestnuts and dried dates. Then, add peanuts, almonds, walnuts, melon - seed kernels, dried fruits and brown sugar to make the gruel not only delicious but also nutritious.
It is not certain whether Babaozhou originated in China. But one thing is for sure— the history of Labazhou can be traced back to an-cient times, when the eighth day of the 12th lunar month was consid-ered a day for animal sacrifice.
The introduction of Labazhou on this day was first observed in the Song Dynasty (960—1279), some 1,000 years rding to written records, large Buddhist temples would offer rice porridge, with other spices, on the eighth day of the 12th lunar month, a Buddhist festival day for followers to show their faith to Buddha.
By the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), Labazhou had become such a holy food that it was a customary festival gift the emperors offered to their officials.
As Labazhou gained the favour of the feudal upper class, it quickly became popular throughout the country.
The ingredients used in Labazhou are unlimited. It can include anything one deems precious, nutritious, tasty or good for the health.
