Before the official time of the country, it was usually customary to put the clock at 12 o’clock every morning, night, and evening.

For example, four o’clock has meant four hours in the morning, noon, or night (depending on the time situation). In most cases, the hour 12 had religious practice and was adjusted every few days.
