The two children's debate days are selected from: "Liezi Tangwen".
The Two Children's Debate Day is selected from the "Liezi Tangwen" compiled by Lieyu, which is a very educational fable and classical Chinese. By arguing about the distance of the sun from people in the morning and noon, Confucius could not judge who was right and who was wrong, which reflected the two children's good observation and reasonableness and Confucius's attitude of seeking truth from facts.
Original: Two children debate the day.
Confucius traveled eastward, saw two children arguing, and asked why.
One son said, "I go near at the beginning of the sun, and far away in the middle of the day.
A child is far away at the beginning of the day, and the middle of the day is near.
A son said: "The beginning of the day is as big as the car cover, and the middle of the day is like Pan Meng (yu), this is not for the far small and the near is big? Yi'er said:
The beginning of the day is cool and cool, and the middle of the day is like a soup, which is not hot for the near and cold for the far? "Confucius can't decide. The two children laughed and said:
Who is you? ”
Translation: Confucius went on a study tour to the East, and on the way he met two children arguing, so he asked them the reason for the argument, and one of the children said: "I think that the sun is close to people when it first rises, and far away from people at noon."
Another child thinks that the sun is far away from people when it first rises, and close to people at noon.
A child said, "Isn't it true that when the sun rises it is as big as a car canopy, and at noon it is as small as a pan?" ”
Another child said, "Isn't it cool and slightly chilly when the sun comes out, and when it comes to noon, it's like putting your hand in hot water. When Confucius heard this, he couldn't tell which of them was right and who was wrong, and the two children smiled and said
Who says you're knowledgeable? ”
