The Story of Teacher's Day (教師節的由來)

1.  Confucius was a well-known teacher in the Lu Kingdom 2000 years ago.

2.  He taught many people moral lessons. Then he became

    a master of philosophy.

3.  He was even an advisor to the king of Lu. But the king didn't

    listen to Confucius' advice.

4.   So Confucius left the Lu Kingdom. He taught people in

     other kingdoms good moral lessons.

5.   Many people studied his lessons. One of his most famous lessons is

   “do not listen to, speak about, or watch bad things.”

      (非禮勿聽、非禮勿言、 非禮勿視)

6.    Confucius had more than 2000 students. Many of them became

     famous  scholars and politicians.

7.    To honor him, the Chinese Government declared Confucius'

      birthday as National  Teacher's Day.
