1. Cultural significance of Laba Festival
The Laba Festival originated from the ancient custom of La Festival. It is the relic of the human worship and sacrifice to nature activity of "spring prayer and autumn reward". After Buddhism joined, the spirit of benevolence it advocated was also absorbed into the Laba Festival. The Laba Festival not only contains the ancient ancestors' ardent expectation for the agricultural harvest in the coming year and the gratitude and awe to the ancestors and gods, but also expresses the people's desire for a happy family, the pursuit of many children and blessings, and the coordination of harmonious interpersonal relationships.
