The people who perform various types of music during the Memorial Ceremony for Confucius are called “musicians”. Since 2013, the musicians of Memorial Ceremony for Confucius in Taipei Confucius Temple are served by 8th grade students from Chongqing Junior High School. The students not only regularly practice in front of the Dacheng Hall every Tuesday during their term time, but also every day in their summer vacation. If you walk passed by Taipei Confucius Temple in the morning before 5th Aug, you can witness the students’ hard work and enjoy the spiritual and solemn music.

The present leader of the musicians, Mr. Sun Rui-Jin, has been the musicians’ leader since 1987 and teaching and leading the musicians for almost 30 years. In addition to the standard strict practice routine, Mr. Sun encourages students to understand the instruments they play as well as the spiritual greatness of the ceremonial song.
