Chinese farmers' harvest festival celebrated across China

Staff of a Perilla food product enterprise introduce their products at the Chinese farmers' harvest festival celebrations in Huanan County, Jiamusi City, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, Sept. 23, 2025. The Chinese farmers' harvest festival is the first national festival created specifically for the country's farmers. Starting in 2018, the festival coincides with the Autumnal Equinox each year, which is one of the 24 solar terms of the Chinese lunisolar calendar and usually falls between Sept. 22 and 24 during the country's agricultural harvest season.
