La sacrifice belongs to the historical context of year-end rites; its dating changed over time.

What the reference establishes#

Folklorist Xiao Fang’s article discusses year-end sacrifice and differing historical methods of dating the La day.

Practical questions#

When reading a museum label or historical text, identify the period and source before converting its date. A historical ritual description does not establish a current public holiday or event. Check a modern organizer’s announcement separately.

Scope#

The planning questions are editorial suggestions. This introduction does not establish a current event programme or uniform participation.
