Extended data:

The "harvest" in the harvest festival contains far-reaching folk cultural origins. "Farmers Harvest Festival" is a modern festival concept, and there was no festival with the same name in ancient China. The ancient harvest festival is not only a gratitude to the god of agriculture, but also a gratitude to those who have made great achievements in farming. It also includes praying for the coming agricultural year, which not only reflects the belief in heaven and earth conceptually, but also reflects the national will to attach importance to and pity agriculture.

According to legend, China's activities of "offering sacrifices to the country" began in the Dayu era of Xia Dynasty and lasted for more than 4,000 years. For thousands of years, the harvest celebration has already been integrated into the production, life and emotional world of the Chinese nation, which has promoted the continuation and development of farming culture in China.

China Farmers Harvest Festival is a festival that connects the past and the future. The meaning of "harvest" here means not only the pursuit of "collecting three or five fights", but also the high yield, high quality and excellent price, which is a comprehensive harvest of economic, social and ecological benefits.
