The International Confucius Cultural Festival opened Wednesday in Qufu, Confucius' birthplace in east China's Shandong Province.

Confucius (551 B.C.- 479 B.C.) is regarded as a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. Confucianism, the school of thought that developed from his ideas, has had a tremendous influence on China's political, cultural and social environment for thousands of years.
