About: Confucius' Birthday
Confucius' Birthday, falls on the 27th day of the eighth lunar month of the Chinese calendar. It is officially celebrated on Taiwan as "Teachers' Day" on September 28, and in Hong Kong on the third Sunday of September as "Confucius Day", though the traditional date is also often observed. Mainland China observes a "Teachers' Day" on September 10 to celebrate the efforts of today's teachers, and there is a legislative effort underway to move that to September 28. Many countries with Confucian cultures hold commemorations each year, especially mainland China, Macau, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea. The birth of Confucius is not a public holiday, but it is an official public holiday for workers in Taiwan, known as Teachers' Day. In October 2006, Hong Kong officially commenced celebrating the birth date of Confucius. The roots of this traditional ceremony can be found as far back in the time of the Zhou dynasty, and appeals to both foreign tourists and local people to this day.
