1. It turns out that they have N teachers Festivals
There are many kinds of festivals for teachers in ancient times: specific festivals, school teacher’s birthday, Confucius’ birthday, etc.
The idiom "Three Festivals and Two Lives" expresses the old custom of the ancients expressing respect for teachers on specific festivals. "Three Festivals" refers to the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and New Year's Day, and "Two Lives" refers to Confucius' Birthdays and birthdays of private school teachers. In many places, the most important thing about "Teacher's Day" is three festivals and two birthdays: students will send money or gifts to their teachers, which is called "honor and etiquette".
According to the "Book of Rites", when new students enter the school, they must first worship the icon of Confucius, then bow to their teachers, and give them celery, longan and other six rituals. It’s not as easy as just paying tuition and being able to enroll. Confucius was the first to open a private school for teaching, admitted three thousand disciples, and trained seventy-two sages. He was regarded as the pioneer of "teachers" in ancient China and was supported by emperors of many dynasties.
According to historical records, on the birthday of Confucius (the 27th day of the eighth lunar month), the emperor would lead civil and military officials to worship at the Confucius Temple, and literati from all over the country would also spontaneously meet to worship. And organized and arranged unique songs, dances and songs to commemorate Confucius. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, not only did the etiquette and custom of worshiping Confucius be followed, but teachers in various places with outstanding achievements were selected and submitted to the court. Teachers who were awarded the title of "excellent" would be rewarded and encouraged.
2. See how ancient teachers celebrated the festival in various ways
The prototype of the school first appeared in the Han Dynasty. It was called "learning" in prefectures and in counties or princes. "school". The etiquette system in ancient times was complicated and strict, and different dynasties had different ways of celebrating festivals and welfare benefits.
Since the Han Dynasty, the emperor would lead civil and military officials to worship Confucius Temple on the birthday of Confucius, and invite Taixue teachers to the palace, where they would eat well and enjoy the "state banquet" treatment. You can also recite poetry and have fun. Following the emperor's lead, local governments also followed suit. Therefore, on "Teachers' Day", in addition to paying homage to Confucius, it is also necessary to "dispose of the Buddhist scriptures" and "teach Shuxiu (dried meat)".
In this sense, although the birthday of Confucius was not established as Teachers' Day at that time, teachers had begun to enjoy holiday leave, dinners, and welfare benefits. Counting from here, the history of Teachers' Day in China has been more than 2,500 years.
