When Confucius traveled eastward, he saw two children arguing and asked them why.

A child said, "I think the sun is close to the sky at sunrise and far from the sky at noon." . "

Another child thinks that the sun is far from the sun when it rises, and it is closer to people at noon.

One son said, "The sun rises as big as the hood of a car at first, and rises as a bowl at noon.". This is not for the small ones far away, but for the big ones near? "

A Confucius said, "It's cool to get out of the sky at the beginning of the day, and it's like exploring soup in Japan and China. Isn't this near hot and far cold? "

Hearing this, Confucius could not judge who was right or wrong.

The two children said with a smile, "Who (shú) is more knowledgeable (wise) than you (rǔ)?"

Translation:

Confucius traveled to the East and met two children arguing on the way. I asked them why they quarreled.

A child said, "I think the sun is close to people at sunrise and far away from people at noon."

Another child thinks that the sun is far away from people when it first rises and close to people at noon.

A child said, "When the sun first rose, it was as big as a hood. At noon, it looks like a plate. Isn't it that far things look small and near things look big? "

Another child said, "It's cool as soon as the sun comes out, and it's hot when you put your hand into hot water at noon. Isn't it cooler when it's far away and hotter when it's near? "

Confucius couldn't decide who was right or wrong.

The two children smiled and said, "Who said you were well informed!"

Enlightenment of Japanese Debate

1. The universe is infinite, knowledge is infinite, and learning is infinite. Even the learned Confucius knew something. We should keep learning.

2. Know nature, explore objective things, dare to think independently and question boldly.

3. Knowing means knowing, and not knowing means not knowing. "Don't be too ignorant."

Understanding things from different angles will lead to different results.

Listen to the voices of the children around you, maybe you can make progress.

6. Knowledge has no age and no boundaries.

7. When we explain our own truth, we should be as well-founded as two children and explain the problem with reason.

8. The problem should be considered from many aspects, so that the problem can be considered comprehensively.
