Teachers' Day in Taiwan is observed every September 28, commemorating the birthday of Confucius, who is regarded as a model educator in ancient China. The holiday was established in Taiwan in 1939, initially celebrated on August 27, but was moved to September 28 following a recalculation of Confucius' birth date. Celebrations typically take place in temples dedicated to Confucius, featuring performances by dancers and musicians during the Grand Ceremony Dedicated to Confucius. This day also serves as an opportunity for students to visit their teachers and express gratitude and respect. Additionally, teachers are recognized for their exceptional contributions to education. Chinese schools in the Philippines also celebrate Teachers' Day on the same date, with festivities occurring on the eve of the holiday.
