At that time, there were no clocks and watches, and the sundial was used to record time. There was no sun on rainy days. Time is not easy to grasp. In order to keep track of time, Si Mahui trained roosters to crow on time by feeding them regularly. In order to learn more, Zhuge Liang wanted Mr. Wang to extend the lecture time, but Mr. Wang always took the cock crow as the standard, so Zhuge Liang thought: If the cock crow time is extended, Mr. Wang's lecture time will be extended. So he took some food in his pocket when he went to school. It is estimated that when the chicken is about to crow, he will feed it some food, and the chicken will not crow when it is full.

And Zhuge Liang is more diligent. Through Zhuge Liang's own efforts, he finally became a knowledgeable person in the area who knows astronomy and geography.
