        Farmers in China began to have a new festival—Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festiva. in 2018. It is on the Autumn Equinox (秋分) , which is one of the 24 solar terms of the Chinese lunar calendar (农历) . It usually falls between September 22 and 24, during the country's agricultural (农业的) harvest season. The first ever Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival was held on September 23 in 2018.

After reform and opening-up (改革开放) , with the development of modern agriculture, people's lives are getting better and better, and their living conditions have improved a lot. Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival, the first festival created in China specially for farmers, shows the high attention of the central government to agriculture. It will greatly encourage farmers to farm and develop further modern agriculture. China has a long history of agriculture. Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival, the cultural symbol, helps to show China's long farming culture to the world. It also connects the excellent traditional Chinese culture with modern civilization (文明) and improves the cultural self—confidence and national pride.

        Since the festival is created specially for farmers, they are encouraged to think of their own ways to celebrate harvest. Some activities are held across the country, but most of the celebrations will take place at a local level, which come from local customs. Also, local government usually hosts all kinds of activities for the festival, such as folk culture performances, food tasting and so on.
