Confucius celebration in Beijing
孔子诞辰2561周年 北京举行1949年以来首个祭孔大典
（2010-09-29）
（北京综合讯）昨天是中国古代先贤孔子诞辰2561周年纪念日，中国各地举行纪念活动，首都北京也举行自1949年以来的首次祭孔大典。北京大学、清华大学等校的四名学者日前联合发出倡议，希望将孔子的诞辰日，也就是每年的9月28日设定为“尊师日”。
据报道，两岸的师生联合祭孔大典仪式昨天上午在位于北京东城区国子监街的国子监孔庙举行，来自台湾和北京的两岸师生共计500人，共同祭奠孔子，弘扬中华传统文化。
1949年后，虽然台湾一直未中断尊孔、祭孔，在中国大陆，孔子却因为被视为封建文化代表人物而遭中共当局禁止一切的祭祀、纪念活动，一直到上世纪90 年代，孔子故里山东曲阜才恢复举行祭孔大典，中国大陆政府近年更在海外大建开展汉语教学为主要活动内容的“孔子学院”，但作为首都的北京在昨天以前从未举 行类似的仪式。
法新社说，北京孔庙昨天举行的两岸师生联合祭孔大典保安森严，只对媒体开放，却禁止公众参与。
穿上传统礼服的年轻志愿者——主要是北京人民大学的学生——在陪祭官的引导下，在大成殿上行四拜礼与祭孔仪式，重现了西周以来的古老祭祀文化。
北京孔庙建于1302年，是曲阜以外最大的孔庙。
