QUZHOU, China, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- September 28 marks the 2575th birth anniversary of the revered Chinese philosopher Confucius. The ceremonial event, which seeks to respect the sage and honor rituals as well as promote nationwide worship of Confucius to achieve universal harmony, took place in the eastern Chinese city of Quzhou, located in Zhejiang Province.
"This year, the Confucius worship ceremony has, for the first time, moved beyond the confines of the ancestral temple and taken place at the Confucius Cultural Square located in front of the temple," said Sheng Xiongsheng, director of Quzhou Southern Confucianism Development Center. "By doing so, it has opened up the participation to representatives from various sectors of society in the city's public space, enabling the general public to take part in honoring and worshiping Confucius."
