The rite for Confucius' birthday, Shih-dien, is "a ceremony for teachers and sages staged every spring and autumn," according to The Book of Rites. Dating back to the Chou Dynasty (1122 B.C.-249 B.C.), it was held on the Ting Day (the name of the day, like "Monday") within the first ten days of every February and August by the Chinese lunar calendar. Only with the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 A.D.) was the ritual timed forever at dawn.
The lunar date for Confucius' birthday was changed to a fixed September 28 on the Western calendar by the late President Chiang Kai-shek in 1968, but the rite was still to follow the Ming practice, beginning at dawn—6 a.m.
