In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao, a nobleman of the State of Jin, was defeated. Someone took the opportunity to steal from Fan's house and saw a big clock hanging in the yard. This clock is made of exquisite bronze with exquisite shapes and patterns. The thief was very happy. He wanted to take this beautiful clock home. But this clock is big and heavy, so it cannot be moved. There is only one way he can think of, and that is to break the clock and move home separately.

The bell is still echoing in the distance.

The more he listened, the more afraid he became. He involuntarily withdrew his hands and covered his ears hard. "Hey, the bell is getting smaller and I can't hear it!" The thief was very happy.

When the bell rang, it spread loudly to far away places. People heard the bell rush in and caught the thief.

I believe many people are familiar with the story of stealing bells. This idiom tells us not to deceive others or ourselves.

Once upon a time, there lived a thief in a village. Thieves are very stupid. One day, he wanted to steal someone else's bell. However, the bell hangs on the gate and clinks when touched. What shall we do? So he thought: I cover my ears, so I can't hear the bell? This is really a good idea!

So, at night, he came to someone else's door and took down the doorbell, and the bell began to jingle. Afraid that others would hear him, he immediately covered his ears, thinking that he could not hear him and that no one else could hear him. But he covered his ears, and only he could not hear. Everyone heard the clang and ran out to catch the stupid thief.

Stealing the Clock comes from this story. "Stealing" means "stealing". The story says "stealing a clock" and the idiom says "stealing a clock" have the same meaning. Some people do bad things and try their best to cover them up, thinking that they are smart, but others will never know that this attempt to deceive others is just deceiving themselves, which can be said to be "stealing the bell."

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhi Bo, an aristocrat of the State of Jin, died out. A thief went to Fan's house to steal. He found an old clock outside Fan's house and thought it must be valuable and wanted to steal it. But the clock is too big and heavy for him to carry at all. what should he do ？ The thief is in a hurry. He scratched his head and walked around the clock. Suddenly it occurred to him that it was nothing to break the clock with a big hammer and steal it piece by piece. Anyway, junk can also sell a lot of money!

The thief secretly rejoiced that he could think of this good idea, so he found a big hammer. Hardly had he tried to touch the big clock lightly when it began to whisper. The thief was startled and quickly stopped, his heart pounding and he was nervous. As soon as the bell rang, he thought, it would ring with a light touch, and it would be heard by the Fan family with a hard hit. This can't be done. We must find a way. The thief broke out in a cold sweat. What are we doing? Thieves can't come for nothing!

Suddenly, he had a brainwave and came up with a brilliant idea. When the alarm clock rings, your ears can hear it. If only I tried to cover my ears so that they couldn't hear! So the thief covered his ears tightly, and then swung the hammer at the clock with great strength. As soon as the clock strikes, it makes a loud noise. The loud bell floated in the night sky and woke up Fan's family. Before the thief rang the bell, the Fan family had surrounded him, and too many cooks tied him up and gave him a good beating. At this point, the thief was lying on the ground, still stupidly saying, "I have covered my ears, how can you still hear the bell!" " Fan's family was very angry at the thief's stupid words just now and couldn't help laughing.

Because chimes and chimes in ancient times were musical instruments, stealing bells from ears gradually became stealing bells from ears. Later generations used the idiom "stealing an ear bell" as a metaphor: if you try to hide something that you can't hide, you can only deceive yourself.

The story comes from Lv Chunqiu Self-knowledge, which is said to be a cover-up for stupidity and self-deception.

Story 2_ Continued: When the clock thief was caught, he started to run and ran for a long time before stopping to catch his breath. He thought, I just covered my ears. Why was I discovered? Maybe it's a coincidence. Thinking about it, his stomach made a "purring" sound, and he knew he was going to fill his stomach. So he went into the street.

People come and go in the street, make a hullabaloo about, bargain, and a burst of fragrance comes at you. He was so greedy that he rushed forward and wanted to buy steamed bread for a big meal. He felt in his pocket. There was nothing in it. What shall we do? He rolled his eyes and came up with a good idea.

He smiled and approached the steamed stuffed bun, closed his eyes and reached out to steal it. The people next to him looked around him strangely. Unexpectedly, the hand just touched the steamed stuffed bun and was hit hard. He opened his eyes in surprise and thought, What bad luck! Isn't this the right way? After several consecutive attempts, he had to go to the river to drink water to satisfy his hunger.

He went to the road hungry. Suddenly, he fainted on the ground. An old lady saw it and quickly helped him home. When the bell thief woke up. The old lady asked him, "Why did you faint?" He told the old lady everything. The old lady smiled and said, "You can't hear with your ears covered, but others can hear. Similarly, close your eyes, you can't see, others can see. "

Only the person who steals the clock suddenly realizes a truth: be honest and don't be smart.

After the last experience, the man reflected on it for another night and decided not to sneak around again. He secretly made up his mind

But when he passed the front door again and saw the exquisite bell, his thief heart rose again. This time, after careful consideration, he summed up the failed experience of the last theft and learned the lesson. He decided to tightly plug his ears with cotton balls, then cover his whole face with a piece of cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes that can be observed at any time, and then broke the bells with a hammer and moved them away one by one. In the eyes of this man, today's idea is really perfect! This is a good way to steal a clock without being found and recognized.

He covered his mouth proudly and snickered: "Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-,Gnome male-Gnome male-,Gnome male-Gnome male-,Gnome male-Gnome male-Gnome male-Gnome male-Gnome male-Gnome This man is so stupid!

This story tells us: "It is impossible to let others know if you have done something bad. The result of being smart is to hurt yourself. If you want others not to know that you have done something bad, you will be exposed one day unless you don't do it. "

Idiom story:

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhi Bo, a nobleman of the State of Jin, was defeated. Someone took the opportunity to steal from Fan's house and saw a big clock hanging in the yard. This clock is made of exquisite bronze with exquisite shapes and patterns. The thief was very happy. He wanted to take this beautiful clock home.

The bell is still echoing in the distance.

You can't hear the bell if you can't cover your ears! " He immediately found two cloth balls to plug his ears, thinking that no one could hear the bell. So I let go and hit the bell. When the bell rang, it spread loudly to far away places. People heard the bell rush in and caught the thief.

The story comes from Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: Self-knowledge. "Stealing a clock" is described as "stealing a clock", which is a metaphor for covering up stupidity and deceiving others.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhi Bo of Jin killed Fan and looted Fan's home, but left a big bronze bell in Fan's yard.

One day, a lazy man wandered around Fan's house and stumbled upon this big clock in the yard. This will make him happy. He thought, this clock is made of copper! If you take it away and sell it, you can definitely sell it for a lot of money. So he wants to recite the bell. However, the clock is too heavy for him to move with all his strength. Later, he finally figured out a way: smash the clock and take it back in batches. In order not to be discovered by others, he came to the bronze bell with a sledgehammer in the middle of the night. He raised a sledgehammer and hit it hard. "Dang-"The bronze bell made a deafening noise, which startled him. He thought, didn't others hear such a loud voice? If they know that I am smashing the clock here, they will definitely catch me, and this big clock will be taken away by others. This made him very worried. He sat on the ground and thought for a long time, and finally came up with a "good idea". He thought, if I find a piece of cloth to plug my ears, won't I miss the bell? I can't hear it so close, and I can't hear it so far.

So, he tore off two pieces of cloth and put them in his ears, and then swung a sledgehammer to hit it. Sure enough, he couldn't hear the bell. He was so happy that he smashed rice hard.

People living nearby heard the bell and ran over. They saw a man ringing the bell hard and asked him what was wrong. The man was surprised to see so many people suddenly and asked, "I can't hear the bell." How can you hear it? "

The neighbors saw that his ears were blocked, understood his intention, and could not help laughing.

The implication of stealing bells from ears

The sound of the clock exists objectively, and it will ring whether you cover your ears or not. Anything that wants to exist objectively will not be transferred by people's subjective will. Some people don't recognize the objective existence that is unfavorable to them or don't like it. If they think so, it won't exist. This, like stealing a clock, is an extreme subjective idealism-solipsism. If we don't face up to and study the objective reality and adopt a closed-door attitude, we will eventually reap the consequences.

The origin of stealing clocks

Source: Lu's "Spring and Autumn Self-knowledge": "Fan died and the people got a clock. If they want to leave, the bell is too loud to be negative; If the spine is damaged, the bell will ring. If you are afraid that people will smell it and catch you, cover their ears. The wicked can smell it; If you are evil, you will hear it yourself. "

Idiom Story 9 accidentally turned to the book Idiom Story I had read before. We also learned this story in the textbook, but when we read it again today, we couldn't help blushing.

I believe everyone has heard of this story. The story is about a thief who saw someone else's doorbell and liked it very much. He moved to the bench at night and was ready to steal it. However, the thief knew that as soon as he rang the doorbell, his family would hear his voice and would definitely arrest him. A good idea suddenly occurred to him: just cover your ears and you won't hear the bell? So he covered his ears and prepared to steal the bell. But as soon as he rang the doorbell, others heard him and caught him red-handed.

Hey! This thief is really stupid. Aren't you kidding yourself? You cover your ears, only you can't hear the bell, but people can still hear it! Serves you right. You've been arrested. Besides, you have hands and feet, why don't you get the doorbell through your own efforts?

While accusing the thief in the book, I can't help thinking that I have done such a thing and cheated myself. I remember after school, I watched TV and forgot to do my homework when I got home. The next day in class, the teacher asked, "Have you finished your homework?" I just remembered that I didn't do my homework at all, and now it's too late to do it again, so I had to bite the bullet and echo with my classmates: "I'm done." I thought I could escape. As long as I say it's finished, others will certainly not doubt it. Who knows that the teacher who never checks his homework began to check his homework today. It's over, it's over, what shall we do? As the teacher gets closer and closer to me, I feel more and more nervous and sweaty. Suddenly I had a brainwave and began to turn over my schoolbag. When the teacher came to see me, I pretended to be very anxious and said, "Teacher, I forgot my homework." Maybe the teacher was too anxious to watch my performance, or maybe he didn't want to expose my lies and said to me, "Remember to bring it next time." I was relieved and began to be proud of my cleverness. I was smarter then, and I didn't make up my homework after class.

It was not until I read this book again today that I found myself deceiving myself like a thief in the book, and I played my proud cleverness more than once. The thief in the book covers his ears, thinking that he can't hear the bell and no one else can hear it. And I covered my ears and told myself that you did the right thing and didn't listen to other people's voices. At this rate, I hurt not others, but myself. In fact, in life, I believe that many people are deceiving themselves like me. From now on, please reflect with me!

I am lucky to meet such a book again. I want to correct my bad habit of self-deception and be an honest and enterprising student.
