Taipei City is a special case, however, as it is the seat of the central government. After the "Three Offerings" part of the ritual is performed by the mayor, further offerings are made by a representative of the president (usually the minister of the interior) and a descendant of Confucius (currently Kung Te-cheng).
因台北是中央政府所在地，屬於中樞祭孔，在市長三獻禮後，還有總統代表（通常為內政部長）及孔子嫡系後裔、至聖先師奉祀官（孔德成先生）獻祭。
