The article "Two Children's Debate Day" is selected from "Liezi Tangwen", which is said to have been written by Zheng Guoren Lie Yukou during the Warring States Period. The article made Confucius unable to judge who was right and who was wrong through the debate between the two children, which shows that the universe is vast, the knowledge is extensive, and even the wise cannot know everything. Confucius did not "insist on knowing what you don't know", but in line with the attitude of seeking truth from facts that "knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing", thus reflecting Confucius's modest and cautious scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts.
