A farmer dries crops in the sun at Huangcun Village in Anhui Province on September 26, 2019. "Shaiqiu" or sun drying is a traditional drying method for reducing the moisture content of crops by spreading the grains under the sun. It is a practice seen in many Chinese villages in autumn. Farmers put produce such as corn and chili peppers in bamboo baskets or on the grounds to sun-dry them. [Photo: VCG]
