An Argument about the Sun,When Confucius was travelling in the eastern part of the country,he came upon two children hot in argument,so he asked them to tell him what it was all about.,“I think”said one child,“that the sun is near to us at daybreak and far away from us at noon.”,The other contended that the sun was far away at dawn and nearby at midday.,“When the sun first appears,”said one child,“it is as big as the canopy of a carriage,but at noon it is only the size of a plate or a bowl.Well,isnt it true that objects far away seem smaller while those nearby seem bigger?”,Dawn:big,Noon:small,“When the sun comes out,”pointed out the other,“it is very cool,but at midday it is as hot as putting your hand in boiling water.Well,isnt it true that what is nearer to us is hotter and what is farther off is cooler?”,Draw:cool,Noon:hot,I dont know,Who says you are a learned man?,The fable tell us:,Know is know,no know is no know,is know also.(知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也)Get to know things differently,the result will be different.(认识事物的角度不同，结果就不一样),Thank you!,Thank you!,
