As we all know, China has the largest population all over the world. It was difficult to feed the largest population in the past. After reform and opening-up, with the development of modern agriculture, people’s life is getting better and better, and their living conditions have improved a lot. Chinese Farmers’ Harvest Festival shows that our government is paying more attention to agriculture and farmers’ life. 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 to modern civilisation and improves the cultural self-confidence and national pride.

Since the festival is especially created 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 coming from local customs. Also, the local government usually hosts all kinds of activities for the festival, such as folk culture performances, food tasting and so on.

Some people think the festival is the happiest time of the year, even better than the Spring Festival, because food gives people a sense of safety and hope. For other people, the harvest festival is a time to look back on the past and look forward to the future.
