As autumn arrives, a golden hue sweeps across fields on the Chinese mainland. From Shandong's rolling plains to Guizhou's terraced hillsides, farmers are working diligently to bring in the year's corn harvest.
In village after village, stripped of their green husks, the plump ears reveal rows of bright yellow kernels. Farmers spread them across courtyards to dry, turning each yard into a glowing carpet that blankets the earth.
With hands-on care, locals sort and stack the corn into neat piles, preserving this staple crop that supports communities, sustains livestock, and shapes regional cultures. The scene – equal parts hard work and natural beauty – encapsulates the rhythm of rural life on the Chinese mainland.
Beyond the vivid landscape, this harvest season also highlights the dedication of farming families and the timeless traditions that link generations. It's a moment when nature's bounty and human ingenuity come together in vibrant harmony.
