Plugging Ones Ears While Stealing a Bell 掩耳盗铃
During the Spring and Autumn period,Zhi Bo of
the Spring and Autumn period,Zhi Bo of the State of Jin destroyed Fans family.Taking
advantage of this occasion,a man went to Fans house and tried to steal something.As soon
as the man entered the gate,he saw that there hung a big bell in the courtyard.The bell
was cast in high-quality bronza,and was beautiful in design and shape.The theif was very
glad,and decided to carry this beautiful bell back home.But no matter how hard he tried,
he could not move the bell,because the bell was both big and heavy.He thought and thought
again,and believed there was only one way to solve the problem.He had to break the bell to
pieces before he was able to carry them back to his home separately.The thief found a big
iron hammer,with which he struck the bell with all his might.The striking produced an
enormous crashing sound,which might.The striking produced an enormous crashing sound,
which made the thief terribly frightened.The thief got flurried,thinking that it was too
bad to have produced the crashiing sound which would himself on the bell,trying to muffle
the crashing sound with his arms.But how could the crashing sound of the bell be muffled?
The crashing sound still kept drifting melodiously to distant places.The more he listened to
the sound,the more frightened hw became.He xubconsciously shrank back,and covered his
ears hard with his hands." Hey,the sound becomes fainter,inaudible," the thief became
cheerful at once," wonderful!The sound of the bell can not be heard when the ears are
covered." He immediately got some odd bits of cloth,made two rolls with them,and had his
ears plugged with the two cloth rolls.He thought that in this way nobody could hear the sound
of the bell.Feeling relieved,he began striking the bell,one blow after another.The
resounding sound of the bell was heard at distant places,and finally people caught the thief
by gracing the sound.This story comes from" Knowing Yourself" in The Annals by Buwei,written
just before the Qin Dynasty（221-207 B.C.） was founded.Allegedly,when Li
Yuan,Emperor Gao Zu of the Tang Dynasty（618-907）,read this story,he felt it simply
ridiculous and said," This is what is called plugging ones ears while stealing a bell."
Later,people have used the set phrase "plugging ones ears while stealing a bell" to refer to
he ignorance and foolishness of the person who deceives himself as well as others.
