Extended data:

First, the creative background

The Warring States period is a period of great social change, and it is also a period of academic thought contending. Fable, as an important part of the essays of the philosophers, has become a powerful weapon for the philosophers of the Warring States to clarify their political views, academic thoughts and arguments.

Liezi is a collection of fables and fairy tales compiled by Liezi and his disciples under this background. This article is taken from the seventh chapter of Liezi Tang Wen, with the title added by later generations. This article records the story of two children in the Spring and Autumn Period and Confucius, a great scholar at that time.

Second, the overall appreciation

This short story runs through dialogue. Based on Confucius' view that it is impossible to decide, the full text describes the process of two children arguing about Japan in an orderly way.
