Confucius' Birthday (Teacher's day)


Two days after CRC visited the Confucius temple they attended the annual Confucianism celebration in retrospect of his birthday which is Teachers Holiday. They experienced ceremonial music and dance that enlightened everyone about the ritual traditions that remain cherished throughout Taiwanese culture. 



“The solid order of Confucianism was really pronounced at the ceremony therefore, I felt like I was watching a military performance more than scholars. The drum beating and the wind rushing around everywhere made me feel like the enormous spirit of Confucius was marching into the temple to watch his very own birthday party.” – Jason Gill
