Worshiping ancient masters before new term

 Students from Beijing Foreign Studies University get help dressing in period costumes from the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220) for a worship ceremony held at Temple of Confucius in Beijing on Aug 11, 2013, the day before as the start of the new term. The students will study abroad next year, and the university hopes they can experience traditional culture and spread it abroad. [Photo by Lin Hui/Asianewsphoto]
