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.
A child said, "I think the sun is close to people when it first rises, but far away at noon." ”
Another child thinks that the sun is far away when it first rises and close 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 could not tell which of them was right and who was wrong, and the two children laughed and said, "Who said that you are very knowledgeable?" ”
Revelation of the Debate. The universe is infinitely large, knowledge is infinite, and learning is endless. Even the erudite Confucius would have been unaware. We have to keep learning.
To understand nature, to explore objective facts, to dare to think independently, and to question boldly.
To know is to know, and not to know is not to know. "Don't be forced to think you don't know."
Understanding things from different perspectives will have different results.
Listen to the voices of the children around you, and you may be able to make progress.
Knowledge knows no age and no boundaries.
When we explain our own truths in ordinary times, we should also be as well-founded as two children, and use reason to explain problems.
Central. 1. Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also knowing.
Second, we should learn from the spirit of the ancients who were good at using their brains and boldly questioning in order to understand nature and explore the truth, as well as Confucius's modest and cautious scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts, so as to understand the truth that learning is endless.
3. Looking at problems one-sidedly will not lead to conclusions, and it also tells us to look at things from a comprehensive perspective.

The first point of view: when the sun first rises, it is as big as a car canopy, and at noon it is as small as a plate, isn't it far small, close to big?
The second point of view: when the sun first comes out, it is cool and slightly chilly, and at noon it is as hot as putting your hand into hot water.

At that time, it was definitely in the vernacular, but it was translated into classical Chinese when the article was written.

This story illustrates that in order to understand nature and explore objective truth, we must dare to think independently and question boldly; It also shows that the universe is infinite, knowledge is infinite, and no matter how knowledgeable people are, they will not know something, and learning is endless.

We just learned
A child thinks that the sun is close to people in the morning, and a person is close to people at noon for the sun.
Be sure to adopt it!
-
One says it's closer to people at sunrise, and the other says it's closer to people in the middle of the day.
-
The size of the sun in the morning and noon, and its warmth, are used to determine its distance.

This article is a fable. The article recounts that in ancient times, two children relied on their own intuition, one thought that the sun was close to people in the morning, and the other thought that the sun was close to people at noon. This story illustrates that in order to stimulate Zheng to understand nature and explore objective truth, he must dare to think independently and question boldly; It also shows that the universe is infinite, knowledge is infinite, and no matter how knowledgeable people are, they will not know something, and learning is endless.
The story can be understood in three parts. First write about Confucius's encounter with two children's arguments, and point out the time, place, characters, and causes of the story. The two children have two very different views on the distance of the sun from the earth at different times.
Then write about two children who use their intuition (sight, touch) that people can experience in their daily lives to clarify their opinions and refute each other's views. Finally, it was written that Confucius faced the argument of the two children, and could not adjudicate it, which caused the two children to "laugh". The full text is only about 100 words, but it can give people many inspirations.
It is characteristic of his language expression to express the characters through dialogue description, so the disturbing events are expressed, which shows the innocence and loveliness of the two children and the scientific attitude of Confucius's modesty and prudence, seeking truth from facts.
The main intention of this article is to enable students to initially understand the linguistic characteristics of ancient texts, and at the same time realize that knowledge is infinite and learning is endless.

Confucius: It is explained that knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also knowing. Knowledge is endless.
Two children: Explain the need to observe carefully, speak boldly, and argue boldly with your predecessors, even if your answer is wrong.
-
One is judged by visual evidence, and the other is judged by sensory basis.
-
Those who are far away are small, and those who are near are large.
Those who are near are hot, and those who are far away are cold.

Starting from the visual, using the metaphor of "like a car cover" and "like a pan", the size of the shape of the sun is vividly written; The other starts from the sense of touch, using the metaphor of "like exploring the soup" to vividly write about the scorching heat of the sun at noon.
