Because ceremonies are used to show respect for teachers, they are also called "festivals". Some private schools expressly stipulate that festivals and meals are included in the bundle and will not be distributed separately during festivals. There are also some private schools that don't pay teachers at ordinary times, but pay them on holidays. At this point, the bundled payment has the dual significance of bundling and respect.

Although there was no legal Teacher's Day date in ancient times, according to historical records, on this day every year in ancient times, the emperor would lead all the civil and military officials to worship Confucius, and scholars from all over the world would also hold meetings to pay homage to Confucius.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Confucius' birthday ceremony was held in all countries, prefectures, prefectures and counties on August 27th of the lunar calendar. The chief priest is the local leader, and the emperor is present in the court. The festival at that time was very grand. Imperial academy, academies, prefectures, prefectures and counties should also select outstanding students from the seniors (teachers in charge of learning affairs) and scholars (teachers in charge of discipline) of local schools and submit them to the court. These "advanced educators" can receive up to 500 taels of silver.
