It tells the story of Confucius' trip to the East. He saw two children arguing and asked them why the last two children laughed at Confucius. Responder: 1.

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 when the sun rises, it is far from the sun, 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.". Isn't this for the small ones far away, but for the big ones near? "A son said," It is cool when it comes out of the barn (cāng) at the beginning of the day, just like exploring soup in the middle of the day. Isn't it near hot and far cold? "Upon hearing this, Confucius could not judge who was right or wrong. The two children smiled and said, "Who (shú) is you (rǔ), who knows much (wisdom)? "

The article "Two Children Debate on Japan" is selected from Liezi, which is said to have been written by Lieyukou, a native of Zheng during the Warring States Period. The article makes it impossible for Confucius to judge who is right or wrong by arguing with two children, which shows that the universe is big and the knowledge is wide, and no matter how clever a person is, it is impossible to know everything. Confucius did not "know what he knows", but adopted a realistic attitude of "knowing what he knows, not knowing what he doesn't know", thus embodying Confucius' scientific attitude of modesty and seeking truth from facts.
