The Big Dipper points to Ji; the sun reaches 180° of the ecliptic longitude; the solar term falls on September 22-24 of the Gregorian calendar every year. On the autumnal equinox, the sun shines almost directly over the Earth's equator, and day and night are equal in length everywhere in the world. Autumnal Equinox, "fen" means "equal" or "half". In addition to referring to the equal length of day and night, it also means that it divides the autumn season equally. After the autumnal equinox, the position of direct sunlight moves southward, the days become shorter and the nights longer in the northern hemisphere, the temperature difference between day and night increases, and the temperature drops day by day. Why is the Autumnal Equinox the Chinese Farmers’ Harvest Festival?1. From the perspective of solar terms, spring is for planting and autumn is for harvesting, spring brings flowers and autumn brings fruits, and the abundant fruits during the autumnal equinox best represent a good harvest. In addition, the Autumnal Equinox is one of the 24 solar terms. It is an important time for autumn harvest, autumn ploughing and autumn planting, when day and night are equal and the weather is clear and cool. It is also a great time for enjoying the autumn scenery, as the rice is fragrant, crabs are fat, and chrysanthemums are yellow.2. From a regional perspective, China has a vast territory and abundant resources. The harvest season varies from place to place, but in most places it is in autumn, and autumn crops make up the bulk of the harvest. Therefore, we designate the Autumnal Equinox as the "Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival" taking into account both the north and the south. This is convenient for urban and rural residents, as well as farmers to participate, and is also conducive to showcasing the agricultural harvest, including scientific and technological achievements and farmers' creativity, and has distinct agricultural characteristics. 3. From the perspective of folk customs, more than a dozen ethnic minorities in China have traditional festivals to celebrate the harvest, including the She ethnic group’s Harvest Festival, the Tibetan ethnic group’s Wangguo Festival, and the Yi ethnic group’s Torch Festival, most of which take place in the second half of the year. Establishing a festival at the national level for all ethnic groups to participate in and celebrate the harvest will help promote harmony, unity and development of the Chinese nation. |
