QUFU, Shandong -- The First Session of the World Confucian Conference opened on Saturday in the eastern Chinese city of Qufu, the hometown of the great ancient thinker and philosopher.

More than 170 scholars from 22 countries and region are expected to exchange ideas about their studies on Confucianism during the three-day event.

The conference was organized by the Ministry of Culture and the Shandong provincial government.

A cultural festival will also be held in Qufu to commemorate the 2,559birthday of Confucius, which falls on September 28.

Confucius, born in 551 BC, was the founder of Confucianism, which advocates the building of a harmonious society through an individual's self-refinement in manners and taste.

Confucianism dominated Chinese society for centuries, and spread to Europe in the late 16th century.

Scholars around the world commemorate Confucius' birth in Qufu every year to carry forward the Confucian spirit of benevolence and honor.
