China's Harvest Festival is the first national festival created specifically for the country's farmers. It falls on the Autumn Equinox each year during the country's most important harvest season. Autumn Equinox(秋分 qiūfēn) is one of the 24 solar terms(节气 jiéqì) of the Chinese lunisolar calendar and it usually falls between September 22 and 24, during the country's agricultural harvest(丰收 fēngshōu) season(季节 jìjié).
