今日是“腊八节”。
腊八在人们眼中，一直都被视为是农历新年的“前奏”。从这天起，人们开始要扫房、祭灶、写春联、赶年集、买年画、备年货……年的气氛越来越浓厚。让我们一起来了解一下“腊八节”的起源、来历和习俗，并动手写一篇作文吧！
腊八节
腊八祭灶，年节来到。
闺女要花，小子要炮。

这是民间一直流传的歌谣。记得小的时候，大家比较慌年，过了腊八就是年了！
Lead-in
Laba Festival, also simply called "Laba," comes on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar year. The festival has this name because the twelfth month is also called "la" month in Chinese while the number eight is pronounced "ba."
腊八节为中国农历十二月初八。之所以称作“腊八”，是因为第十二个月在中文中也被称为“腊月”，而八的发音为“ba”。
What is Laba......
Since it's in the last month of the lunar year, the festival implies saying goodbye to the old and embracing the new, and often regarded as a warm-up celebration for the upcoming Spring Festival. As an old saying goes, "after Laba, it's the (Chinese) New Year."
由于它是农历新年的最后一个月，所以意味着辞旧迎新已经开始，是即将到来的春节的热身节庆。俗话说：“过了腊八就是年。”
Laba Day is also Bodhi Day in the Buddhist tradition. It's said that Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, attained enlightenment on this day. Thus, the day is one of the grandest festivals for Buddhists.
腊八节也是佛教传统中的菩提节。据说佛教的创始人释迦牟尼佛在这一天获得了开悟。因此，这一天是佛教徒最盛大的节日之一。

农历腊月初八是腊八节。腊八节可以追溯到古人在农历年的最后一个月祭祀祖先的习俗，有关这个节日的由来有两个传说。一说佛祖释迦牟尼成佛前进山修行，他潜心思索，经常忘记进食。有一次他就快要饿死了，被一牧羊女发现。
牧羊女用大米粥救了释迦牟尼的性命，使他得以继续修行，在农历腊月初八这天大彻大悟、得道成佛。为了纪念这件事情，佛教徒每年在腊八节都食用腊八粥，也被称为“佛粥”。
腊八节的两个传说
一说，明朝皇帝朱元璋小时给财主放牛，因牛腿摔断被财主关在一间屋子里，三天没给饭吃。他饥饿难忍，到处搜寻，终于发现了一个老鼠洞，从中挖掘出豆、谷等各种粮食，煮成粥食用，觉得非常香甜。
后来朱元璋做了皇帝，想起小时候吃那顿粥的味道，就命太监用各种粮食煮了一锅糖粥，欢宴群臣，后朝中文武百官争相效仿并传入民间，遂成了一种节日习俗。因朱元璋吃糖粥的日子是腊月初八，所以这粥也就叫腊八粥了。
腊八节习俗：祭祀、喝腊八粥、腌腊八蒜是腊八的三大习俗。
