The origin of this idiom can be traced back to ancient historical stories in China. In Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is a story about Hou Li, the prime minister of the State of Jin.

Hou Li was dissatisfied with the country's political situation, but his advice to the monarch was not adopted, so he chose to keep his mouth shut and stop expressing his opinions. This story was later interpreted as an idiom to describe the attitude of choosing to remain silent under certain circumstances.
