Confucius descendants gather in Jiading

( chinadaily.com.cn ) 2014-04-08

Descendants worship Confucius during Tomb-sweeping Day.

During Tomb-sweeping Day, an ancestor worshiping ceremony was held by Confucius’ descendants in the Confucius Temple of Shanghai’s Jiading district.

Wearing traditional Chinese clothes, more than 200 descendants of Confucius (Kong Qiu) presented flowers to the statue of Confucius.

Kong Huawei, who brought his child with him this time, said, “Every year we attend the worshiping ceremony. And this year, I wanted him to come with me because I hope he can learn about the spirit of family, and remember not to disgrace it at any time.”
