The leaky pot is divided into two parts: the sowing pot and the receiving pot. The seeding kettle is divided into two or four layers, both of which have dripping holes, and finally flow into the receiving kettle. The kettle has an upright arrow engraved with 100 minutes. The arrow gradually rises with the storage of water, showing the number of minutes to show the time. And a 24-hour day and night is 100 minutes, which is equivalent to 1440 minutes now. It can be seen that each moment is equivalent to 14.4 minutes now. So "3 noon" is equivalent to 1: 43.2 at noon now.

Words such as "Geng", "Geng House" and "Geng Building" all come from the word "Geng". As I said before, in ancient China, one day and night were divided into twelve hours, that is, one hour and two hours. During the day, people can judge the time by watching the sun, the sundial or the regular "copper pot dripping", but at night, they don't know the time, so some people will watch the "copper pot dripping" and tell people by playing drums according to the time. The ancients stipulated that every time (about 7: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm), it was called "get up", that is, "one watch"; The second is Shihai, that is, from 9 pm to 1 1 point; The third watch is midnight, that is, from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning ... The fifth and last watch has arrived in Yin Shi, that is, from three to five o'clock in the morning.
