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 away from people when it first rises, and it is not far away from people until noon.

The beginning of a day is far away, and Japan and China are near.

A child said, "The sun was as big as the umbrella cover of a car when it first came out, and it was as small as a plate at noon. Isn't it far, small and near? "

A son said, "At the beginning of the day, the sun rose as big as the hood of a car, and during the day, the sun rose like Pan Meng." This is not for people far away, but for people near? "

Another child said, "The sun was cold when it first came out, and it was as hot as putting your hand into hot water at noon. It's not hot when it's near, and it's not cold when it's far away? "

Another child said, "The sun just came out to cool down, and it was as hot as putting your hand in hot water at noon. Isn't that why you feel hot when you are near and cool when you are far away?" ? "

Confucius could not judge who was right or wrong.

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

Confucius was unhappy and said to Zhong You, "Zhong You, I will tell you what is the correct attitude towards' knowledge'. Knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing. This is the correct attitude towards knowledge! "
