Confucian kindergartens teach respect
Children in scholars' hats bow before a statue of Confucius as parents look to instill his values in their offspring.
With government backing, hundreds of private schools dedicated to Confucian teachings have sprung up across the country in response to growing demand for more traditional education.
At an institution in the central city of Wuhan, about 30 students ages 2 to 6 chant: "Our respect to you, Master Confucius. Thank you for the kindness of your teaching and your compassion."
