The Origin of Harvest Festival

On June 2, 2065438, the State Council issued an official reply on the establishment of China Farmers' Harvest Festival, and agreed to establish the annual Spring Equinox of the lunar calendar (around September 23 every year) as China Farmers' Harvest Festival from June 20, 2065438. To celebrate the first China Farmers' Harvest Festival, every household in Qiling Village, Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province basked in crops in front of and behind the house, celebrating the harvest with its unique "autumn sun" method.

Every year on the 10th day of October in the lunar calendar, during the slack season after the autumn harvest, guests naturally come to get together without saying hello, and even strangers passing by can come into the house to attend the banquet. On the morning of the festival, every household in the village cooked more than ten kilograms of oil and white cakes for the guests, and killed chickens and ducks to fry fish.

At noon, wine and meat appeared, and friends and relatives gathered from all directions. People talked about the harvest of a year while eating, and everyone was immersed in the joy of harvest. Before leaving, the host also packed a few pieces of oil and white cakes for each guest to take home, so that the family could share the joy of harvest. In the evening, young men and women also sing folk songs and stay up all night, which is very lively.
