In the Confucius religion, are there any holidays?

I am doing a world religion project and I wanted to know if there are any holidays or special rituals that the people of the Confucius religion celebrate. |||The Chinese have a tradition of holding spectacular memorial ceremonies of Confucius every year, on the date of Confucius' birth. This tradition was interrupted for several decades in Communist China.


In Taiwan, where the Nationalist Party (Kuomingtang) strongly promoted Confucian beliefs in ethics and behavior, the tradition of memorial ceremony of Confucius is supported by the government and has continued without interruption. While not a national holiday, it does appear on all printed calendars, much as Father's Day does in the West.
