Confucius was a thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period.

One day, Confucius was idle and went out to play. Walking, he saw two children quarreling and looking like they were going to fight. Confucius hurried forward to stop the fight.

When the two children saw Confucius come to stop the fight, they scrambled to complain to Confucius.

A child said, "I think the sun is closest to us when it first comes out and farthest from us at noon."

"Why?" Confucius asked.

"Look! In the morning, when the sun just came out, it was as big as a car cover, and at noon it was only as big as a plate. Isn't this far small and near big? "

"That makes sense," Confucius turned to another child. "What do you think?"

"I think it's far away from us when the sun just came out in the morning and close to us at noon. Because we are very cold in the morning, but we feel very hot at noon. Do I make sense?

"This, this," Confucius was speechless.

The two children laughed. Who says Confucius knows a lot? That's it. Then he ran away hand in hand. Confucius stood there waiting for a while, at a loss.
