A season of harvest


Once a mainly agricultural country, China has a rich history of farming culture. The inaugural Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival on Sept 23 this year will become a vivid cultural symbol demonstrating the long history and significance of Chinese farming culture. It promotes the fusion of traditional culture and modern civilization, and boosts Chinese people's confidence in their own culture and sense of national pride.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, China's Cabinet, have set up the Harvest Festival at the critical period of the national poverty alleviation program, the decisive stage of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and the first year of implementing the strategy for rejuvenating the countryside.
