What is the beautiful meaning of the autumnal equinox?
It symbolizes the autumn harvest. The autumnal equinox divides day and night equally, and the sun is on the horizon all day, which also symbolizes the joy of autumn harvest. After that, as the direct point of the sun continued to move southward, a six-month polar night began near the North Pole, which gradually expanded and then narrowed. A six-month polar day began near the South Pole, which gradually expanded and then narrowed.

Equal length symbolizes autumn harvest. The autumnal equinox is the sixteenth solar term in the "twenty-four solar terms" of China lunar calendar, which is exactly half of the 90 days from beginning of autumn to the first frost. Autumn equinox, sunny weather, sweet-scented osmanthus, crab fat chrysanthemum yellow, is the harvest scene of Man Cang, a valley with fragrant melons and fruits.
Traditionally, the autumnal equinox is not only the end of autumn harvest and winter storage, but also the beginning of summer sowing and spring ploughing.

Therefore, the country has designated the annual autumnal equinox as "China Farmers Harvest Festival".
It is not only a tribute and inheritance to the traditional "Twenty-four solar terms", but also the crystallization of ancient wisdom, and it also embodies the development concept that contemporary China people know the natural replacement, conform to the laws of nature and adapt to the sustainable ecology.
