China's traditional Laba Festival falls on January 18 this year. After the festival, we will usher in the Chinese Year of the Dragon. The most important custom during the Laba Festival is eating Laba porridge. It is made from a variety of ingredients that symbolize family reunions and prayers for peace and health. 

今年1月18日是中国传统的腊八节。 节日过后，我们将迎来中国的龙年。 腊八节最重要的习俗就是吃腊八粥。 它由多种原料制成，象征着家庭团聚和祈祷平安健康。
