Teacher’s Day falls on September 28, which is Confucius’ birthday. Socrates and Confucius are both 5th-century BC philosophers who had a great impact on the education. Traced back to Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770 - 220 BC), there were Hundred Schools of Thoughts promoting their ideas in many ways like life, thinking, and humanity. At that time, teachers had to travel country to country to find a king that accepted their ideas and called them teachers. Conficius is one of them and his ideas we called it as Confucianism, or Ruism. Ruism had a great impact on the whole Asian world and even now people in Taiwan and China are still reading his famous book called Lunyu. 

Confucius died in 479 BC, and his students collected Confucius' words into a book called Lunyu. Most of Confucius' students became teachers and spread Confucius' ideas through out Asian world.  In addtion, people viewed Confucius as God and built up a temple for him and set up some ceremony to worship this great teacher. Confucius was so important that people see him as a model of teacher and regard his birthday (0928) as teacher's day.

拔智慧毛 

While we worshiped Confucius in the Temple, we prepared some meat and wine. In ancient times, we will serve Confucius a whole ox or a whole pig which sounds scary but it's true. Then, after the ceremony, people could pulled some fur of the ox which means you took some wisdom from Confucius. Nowaday, we don't serve a real ox but we make a fake one; we don't pull out the fur but we put some pens for students to take.
