The 12th lunar (阴历的) month in China is called la yue. The character “la” in Chinese language means to respect gods and give best wishes to them.
In Chinese tradition, such activities were held at the end of a year in the Chinese lunar calendar.
There are two important dates in la yue. The first is the Laba Festival on the 8th day of the lunar month. The Laba Festival was a time for the ancient Chinese to hope for the harvest and good luck in the coming year. Laba porridge is the main dish on this day.
The other important date is the Kitchen God Worshipping (拜灶神) on the 23rd or 24th day of the month. People offer food to the Kitchen God, who takes charge of things for the whole family. It is said that the god returns to heaven that day to report to the Jade Emperor (the ruler of heaven in Chinese stories) about the family activities over the past year. So people usually offer him delicious dishes so that he will give a good report and the family will have good luck throughout the next year.
After this day, people start to sweep up the house and decorate the house with couplets (对联) and paper-cuttings. Once these things are finished, people will wait for the Spring Festival.

. ②For example, in Britain you mustn’t raise your bowl to your mouth when you are having soup. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn’t worry about making noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. ③Guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal in Mexico. In Arabic countries, we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.
