吃饱之后，公鸡会停止报晓，从而延长学习时间。

原文英文

In his youth, Zhuge Liang studied under Master Sima Hui, also known as Water Mirror. He was diligent in his studies and thoughtful in his learning, earning not only the appreciation of Sima Hui but also the fondness of his wife. At that time, there were no clocks, and people relied on sundials to tell time. On rainy days, however, it was difficult to keep accurate track of time. Sima Hui trained a rooster to crow at regular intervals by feeding it at fixed times.

In order to learn more, Zhuge Liang hoped his teacher would extend the lecture time, but the teacher always followed the rooster’s crowing schedule. Zhuge Liang then came up with an idea: if he could delay the rooster’s crowing, the lesson time could also be extended. So he carried some grain with him when attending class and fed the rooster just before it was about to crow. After eating its fill, the rooster would stop crowing, thereby extending the study time.
