It is said that Zhu Yuanxuan, the ancestor of Ming Taizu, was very poor when he was a child, so he set off cattle for a rich family. One day, when the cattle returned, they crossed a single wooden bridge, and the cow slipped down the bridge and broke his leg. The old rich man was so angry that he locked him in a house without food. Zhu Yuanxuan was hungry enough, suddenly found a rat hole in the house, opened a look, it turned out to be a granary of mice, there were rice, beans, and red dates. He put these together and cooked a pot of porridge, which tasted very sweet and delicious. Later Zhu Yuanxuan became emperor, and remembered this matter, so he called the imperial chef to make a pot of porridge mixed with various grains and beans. The day to eat happened to be the eighth day of the month of Laba, so it was called Laba porridge.
