NATIONALS HOLD CONFUCIS GRAVE China Waits to See How They Will Revere It Peking, May 18.—UP)—The birth- place and tomb of Confucius at Chufu (or Kufow), Central Shan- tung, have fallen into the hands of the’southern revolutionarfes, and throughout China those who revere ithe great sage are waiting anxiously to see what treatment these sacred | places will receive at the hands of the Nationalists. Little Respect Hitherto the revolutionaries, pro- claiming a new political and social order, have paid little respect to the memory of the sage or to the moral code bearing his name that has guided official and personal conduct in China for more than 2,000 year: Chufu, a small walled city, 6epar- ated by six miles of dusty plain from the Tientsin-Pukow railway, con- tains the ancestral homc of the Dukes of ‘Kung, lineal descendants of Confucius, bulit on the site where stood the modest cottage in which the sage was born in 551 B. C. Near- by is the greatest Confucian temple in China, founded in 47 B. C, a noble example of Chinese architec- ture, In its present form largely the work of the builders of Chien Lung, the Manchu emperor . of a century and a half ago. e of many varleties, from the little The present Duke of Kung, seven- ty-fourth of his line, is a ten-year- old boy under the tutelage of an uncle. The family is the only heredi- tary nobility in China, a status con- ferred by an ancient imperial edict on the descendants of the sage in perpetuity. Jealous of th nserva- tism that hedges it aboutfChutu lies off the railway because the prede- cessor of the present Duke would not allow the foreign “fire wagons” to enter his domain. Confucius was burled in & simple tumulus a mile north of the city wall, surrounded by & great cémetery of the House of Kung. Over the grave rises a mound about eight feet high, grass and weed grown in su mer, littered with lcaves and twigs from the ancient locust trees that shade it. Only a plain stone slab an- nounces that it is the *“grave of the all-accomplished Eaintly Prince.” Cease Sacrifices Shangha! dispatches say that Dr. Tsal Yuan-Pei, minister of educa- tion in the Nanking Nationalist regime, has ordered Natlonalist edu- cational institutions to esasc the cus- tomary spring and autumn sacrifices to Confucius and prescribed the con- version of Confucian temples for educational purposes. In direct con- trast has been the attitude of the northern militarists. Twice since he became dictator in Peking has Chang Tso-Lin risen before dawn to pro- ceed in stately proceasion, over roads sprinkled with the yellow sand that formerly marked the route of im- perfal progresses, to the temple of Confuctus in the North City to make the sacrifices which the emperors used to make semi-annually, in February and August. Dictator Chang also has ordered local officlals to carry out the spring aad autumn ceremonies at Confucian shrines as in the davs of the Manchus, Receut Reaction Recently there has been a reaction from the earlier disrespect of the revolutionaries for Confucianism, Chinese organizations overseas, largely instrumental in the inception and support of the Luomntang, party of the revolution, have pro- tested to Nanking on this score. One suggestion offered is that Con'ucius and Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, father of the Kuomintang, be worshipped altle as sages and that Confucian temples be rededicated to this joint reverem:e.
