During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius and his students traveled around the world to promote their political ideas.

One day, they drove to the Kingdom of Jin. A child was playing with rubble and tiles in the middle of the road, blocking their way.

Confucius said: "You shouldn't play in the middle of the road and block our car!".

The child pointed to the ground and said, "Old man, what do you think this is?" Confucius saw that it was a city made of gravel and tiles.

The child said again: "Do you think it should be the city giving way to the car or the car giving way to the city?" Confucius was asked.

Confucius felt that the child was very polite, so he asked: "What is your name? How old are you?" The child said: "My name is Xiang Lu, I am 7 years old!"

Confucius said to The students said: "Xiang Lu understands etiquette at the age of seven. He can be my teacher!"

Yang Shi of the Song Dynasty loved learning very much. At noon on a snowy day, he and his classmates went to the Neo-Confucian scholar Cheng Yi for advice.

Teacher Cheng was taking a nap, and they were waiting outside the door.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier. In order not to disturb the teacher, I still wait patiently outside the door.

The teacher woke up. He found Yang Shi and the two of them standing in the snow and hurriedly asked them to come into the house. Yang Shi hurriedly saluted the teacher and asked for advice.

Confucius was a famous great thinker and educator in ancient my country. He was knowledgeable but never complacent. When he was traveling around the country, on his way to Jin, he met a seven-year-old boy who blocked the road and asked him to answer two questions before he gave way. One is: Why do geese call so loudly? Confucius replied: The goose has a long neck, so it cries loudly. The child said: The frog's neck is very short, why does it make a loud cry? Confucius was speechless. He felt ashamed and said to the students, I am not as good as him, he can be my teacher!
