With a blink on the eyes, its again the End of the Lunar Year and its again the La Ba Festival.

For Ren Chen Dragon Year, La Ba Festival falls on 19 Jan 2013, a Saturday.

In Taoism, the earliest record of the Celebration of La Ba Festival was far in Zhou Dynasty.

And in Taoist Myth Records, it was believed to be the Anniversary of the Day when Nv Wa created the Grains for the Living Beings – the 8th Day after World was created.
