Classical Chinese Translation of Two Children in Japanese Debate

The day when two children debate, some people call it: two children debate.

Original text:

When Confucius traveled eastward, he saw two children quarreling and asked them why they quarreled.

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 from the sun when it rises, and it is closer to people at noon.

A child said, "When the sun just came out, the hood of the car was as big as noon and the plate was as small as usual. Is this the reason why it is not far from the big one?" ? "

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?" ? "

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

The two children smiled and said to Confucius, "Who said you were smart?" ? "

Another child thinks that the sun is far away from people when it just rises, and it is closer to people at noon.

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

Another child said, "It was cold when the sun first came out, and it was as hot as putting your hand into hot water at noon. Isn't that why you feel hot near and cold far away? "

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

The two children smiled and said to Confucius, "Who says you have much wisdom?"

"Two Children Debate Day" shows the spirit of independent thinking, bold questioning and seeking truth from facts in order to understand nature and explore objective things. At the same time, it expounds the truth that "learning is endless"?
