JINAN, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) — Qufu, the hometown of Confucius in east China's Shandong Province, held events Sunday to commemorate the 2,576th anniversary of the birth of the ancient Chinese philosopher.
The Confucius worship ceremony began around 9:00 a.m. Participants, wearing yellow ribbons, laid baskets of flowers at the statue of Confucius. Shandong Provincial People's Government Chairman Zhou Naixiang delivered a eulogy, and everyone present bowed before the statue. The ceremony lasted about an hour.
To enhance the global impact of the Confucius Ceremony, an online broadcast was also conducted alongside the offline event, allowing people around the world to connect with Confucianism.
The tradition of worshiping Confucius began in 478 BC, a year after the philosopher's death. The ceremony held on this occasion includes traditional music, dance, and other ceremonial forms, embodying the essence of etiquette in Confucian culture.
The Confucius Worship Ceremony has become one of the key events planned for the 2025 China International Confucian Culture Festival.
As an educator and philosopher, Confucius (551-479 BC) founded the school of thought known as Confucianism, which greatly influenced subsequent generations. He was also the first person in China to establish private schools that recruited students from diverse social classes. -0-
