Commemoration of future generations

In the mid-Western Han Dynasty, natural disasters occurred frequently and the society was in turmoil. Confucian belle believes that this is because the sacrifice to Confucius was not properly arranged, so God was angry. The court accepted Mei Fu's suggestion, named Confucius as the descendant of Shang Tang, and inherited the sacrifice of the former king. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucius was officially regarded as the public god of the country, and his status was equal to that of the national god.

The Tang Dynasty ordered every county to build a temple to worship Confucius. There are two big sacrifices in spring and autumn every year, and two small sacrifices on the first and fifteenth day of each month. At first, the big festival was presided over by academic officials, and later by local officials. After the Tang Dynasty, the status of Confucius was constantly improved, and the titles of Confucius were also increasing. In the Qing dynasty, Confucius' sacrifice once became a "great sacrifice" at the same level as God and the national ancestor God. 1906, under the situation that the Qing court used Confucius to clean up people's hearts, the ceremony of the Confucian Temple in the capital was promoted from China to a big gift, and this honor was only Confucius.
