What are holy days in Confucianism?

Answer 1

The Chinese culture has many different religions such as Protestant, Catholic, Buddhism, etc. For more information see the Related Link "Chinese Religions" to the right. Confucius' b/d falls on the 27th of the lunar calender and is celebrated with grand affair. Here is a little more about him: 1. Confucius' Life The sources for Confucius' life are later and do not carefully separate fiction and fact. Thus it is wise to regard much of what is known of him as legendary. Many of the legends surrounding Confucius at the end of the 2nd century BCE were included by the Han dynasty court historian, Sima Qian (145-c.85 BCE), in his well-known and often-quoted Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji). This collection of tales opens by identifying Confucius' ancestors as members of the Royal State of Song. It notes as well that his great grandfather, fleeing the turmoil in his native Song, had moved to Lu, somewhere near the present town of Qufu in southeastern Shandong, where the family became impoverished. Confucius is described, by Sima Qian and other sources, as having endured a poverty-stricken and humiliating youth and been forced, upon reaching manhood, to undertake such petty jobs as accounting and caring for livestock.

The birthday of Confucius (the founder of the religion) is celebrated with relatively understated ceremonies at temples throughout the island, and individual practitioners sometimes take time off to observe the day in their own ways, contemplating the Confucian virtues.

Depending on which calendar you observe, the birthday of Confucius can be taken to fall on different days. In the Republic of China, his birthday is celebrated as "National Teacher's Day", paying tribute to Confucius' radical doctrine that learning and knowledge should be available not only to the aristocracy but to everyone. His birthday also falls, according to the Chinese lunar calendar, on day 27 of the eighth lunar month.

Hope this helps people!
