臘八節作文1
早上，遠方的朋友簡訊提醒，今天是農歷臘月初八，又到吃臘八粥的時候了，讓我不禁想起了小時候的情景。臘八是過年的序幕，從這天開始，媽媽就會為過年做準備了，一直要忙到除夕。
在我們家裏臘八這天，二件事必做，一是熬臘八粥，二是腌臘八蒜。臘八蒜就是將蒜剝皮後放入醋中，媽媽說這一天腌的蒜會變成碧綠色。很神奇，確實如此。多年來一直以為隻有臘八這個節氣才能把蒜腌綠，前段時間無意中放入醋中的蒜居然也變綠了，才知道這大概是媽媽為了讓我們剝蒜皮而編出的一個美麗的謊言吧。臘八這天我們小孩子還有一項任務，就是挑豆子，將壞豆子及石子挑出來，這也是最開心的時刻花花綠綠地灘了一桌子，兩個姐姐仔細檢，我兩手抓滿豆子，滿桌子的和啦，劈啪直往地上掉，惹的她們倆生氣。現在挑豆子這項任務媽媽又交給了她的孫子輩，孫女要比他爸爸小時淘氣多了。臘八粥裏除了各式豆子外，還有紅棗、葡萄幹、桂元肉、桔皮等，自然少不了米，有大米、小米、糯米、黑米等。熬這種粥要有一定的技巧，既要軟爛黏稠又要不粘鍋，要用時用心的，媽媽熬出的臘八粥有一種特別清香的味道，常常是滿樓飄香，我們都是一路聞著香味上樓的。媽媽可以稱得上是一個民間美食家，上世紀70年代，物質普遍不太豐富，但我們家因有媽媽的粗糧精做，餐桌上總是有吃不盡的美味佳餚。
現在媽媽每年還熬臘八粥，因我在外地吃不上，她會把粥凍到冰櫃裏等過年回去給我吃。說實話跟過年的佳餚相比，粥算不上什麽美味，但媽媽還是年年給我留著，我也會很有興致地大吃幾口，我知道隻要這樣媽媽就滿足了。
臘八節作文2
本文介紹了有關臘八節的傳說、臘八粥的製作方法極其成分。有趣的是，中國的臘八節竟與佛祖釋迦牟尼有關。
The majority Han Chinese have long followed the tradition of eating laba rice porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The date usually falls in min-January and is a traditional Chinese festival.
Legend about the origin of this festivity abounds One maintains that over 3,000 years ago sacrificial rites were held in the twelfth lunar month when people offered up their prey to the gods of heaven and earth. The Chinese characters for the hunt and the twelfth month (lie and la) were interchangeable then, and ever since la has been used to refer to both. Since the festival was held on the eighth day of the last month, people later appended the number eighth (ba in Chinese), giving us the current laba.
Buddhism was well accepted in the areas inhabited Han Chinese, who believed that Sakyamuni, the first Buddha and founder of the religion, attained enlightenment on 12/8. Sutras were chanted in the temples and rice porridge with beans, nuts and dried fruit was prepared for the Buddha. With time the custom extended, especially in rural areas where peasants would pray for a plentiful harvest in this way.
There is, however, another touching story. When Sakyamuni was on his way into the high mountains in his quest for understanding and enlightenment, he grew tired and hungry. Exhausted from days of walking, he passed into unconsciousness by a river in India. A shepherdess found him there and fed him her lunch.
