Girls clad in traditional Chinese costumes pose for photography at a festival commemorating ancient Confucian philosopher Xun Zi on October 14, 2008. Believed to be Xun Zi's hometown, Anze County in Shanxi Province is hosting the annual festival for the third time. Xun Zi (circa 313-238 BC), believed that humans were innately evil, and that ethical norms were therefore introduced to rectify human beings. This philosophy, while it countered the better-known Mencius's ideologies, helped develop an alternative aspect of Confucianism.
