中國農民豐收節(jié)于2018年設立，節(jié)日時間為每年的秋分。設立中國農民豐收節(jié)，能極大地調動農民的積極性、主動性和創(chuàng)造性，提升農民的榮譽感、幸福感和獲得感。

1 Yong Donglin， a farmer in Muchuan County， Sichuan Province， woke up earlier than usual since he was to prepare for a special straw dragon dance （舞草龍）. The 58?year?old had practiced the traditional dance for two years. But he felt very excited this time because he and about 20 fellow farmers in the county took part in a performance， at a major event of the fifth Chinese Farmers Harvest Festival held in Xinjin District of the provincial capital Chengdu.

2 In 2018， China designated the autumnal equinox （秋分） as the Chinese Farmers Harvest Festival， in order to further strengthen the role of agriculture and rural areas and improve the sense of gain and happiness among farmers.

3 Despite the rain， performers from different parts of Sichuan presented songs and dances featuring their farming culture at the opening ceremony of the festival. One of the performances most impressive highlights came with the debut （首次登臺） of an actor playing Li Bing， a governor of Sichuan more than 2，000 years ago. Some people watching the performance applauded Lis words， “My dream of turning the land of abundance into the land of a granary more than 2，000 years ago has now come true.”

4 The phrase “l(fā)and of abundance” is a reminder in Sichuan of how major farming achievements were made—they were the result of the Dujiangyan irrigation project. The Chengdu Plain has almost been spared from flooding and drought for more than two millennia thanks to the project， making Sichuan the “l(fā)and of abundance” since ancient times.

5 At the festivals opening ceremony， award winners of the countrys Top 10 Farmers were also announced. Gai Yongfeng， a farmer from Heihe， Heilongjiang Province， made the list. The 45?year?old started farming in 1996 and works on about 1，700 hectares of soybeans. Farmers in 11 townships in the city who also plant soybeans have benefited from his state?of?the?art farming techniques.

6 According to Tang Ke， head of the office of the festivals organizing committee， the festival this year highlights the promotion of new varieties of seeds and new farming technologies， in line with an ancient Chinese saying about how “a full warehouse starts with a good seed”.
