China farmers harvest festival is which solar terms?

The harvest festival of farmers in China is the autumn equinox. Since ancient times, China has a tradition of celebrating harvest and expecting the prosperity of the country and people. Share the joy of harvest through activities such as folk performances, skill competitions and food tasting. In addition, the general public also have the need to return to the countryside, participate in farming experience, taste rural feelings and rural dreams, which provides a broad market space for the establishment of "China Farmers Harvest Festival".

The autumnal equinox is the sixteenth of the twenty-four solar terms, and the time is generally from September 22 to September 24 of the Gregorian calendar every year. On the day of the autumnal equinox, the sun reaches the longitude 180 (autumnal equinox), almost reaching the equator of the earth, and the length of day and night is equal all over the world (regardless of the refraction of the sun light by the atmosphere and the shadow in the morning).

The significance of setting up a harvest festival.

The establishment of the Harvest Festival is conducive to inheriting and carrying forward Chinese farming civilization and excellent cultural traditions. In the process of accelerating industrialization and urbanization, people's memory of traditional farming culture is fading. Setting up China Farmers Harvest Festival, setting up distinctive cultural symbols and endowing it with new connotation of the times, can let people release their emotions, inherit culture and find their belonging through festivals, and can gather people's emotional sustenance for that mountain, that water and that field, so as to enjoy the spirit of farming culture.
