One day, the young man tired of working and sit under a tree to rest. He was then inspired by Shadow Tree engaged thus creating a tool for monitoring the movement of the sun's shadow in order to determine and measure the time in one day.

Then, the water droplets from the cliff also inspired him to create a five-story tool named "Wu Ceng Lou Hu [五层 漏壶]" to measure time.

With the tools that he created, he found that each season will be repeated every day 360s.

The king then called "Zu Yi [祖乙]" is also often confused with the problem situation seasonal changes can not be predicted. Youth "Wan Nian" then brings his creation tools to meet the King. King Zu Yi very happy to listen to explanations about the calculation of seasonal changes found by Wan Wan Nian Nian and asked to stay at the Palace. The king built a building named "Ri Yue Ge" or "Pavilion of the Sun Moon" to know the laws of nature on the day and the month.
