brief introduction

1, four stars in the Big Dipper. One refers to the one farthest from the barrel handle.

2. The God who dominates the rise and fall of articles in China mythology. In the past, there were buildings like Kuixing Tower and Kuixing Pavilion in many places.

Kuixing was originally the common name of Kuixing, one of the 28 constellations in ancient astronomy, which refers to the first four stars of the Big Dipper, namely (Shu Tian/Shu Tian α Ursa major, also known as: Beidou I, Xinxing, Tiankui, Wolf Greedy, Zhengxing, Shuxing, Tian Peng, Yangming, Wolf Greedy Taihang Jun), Tian Xuan (Tian Xuan β Ursa major, also known as: Beidou II, Cong Kui). After Taoism, he was regarded as the god who dominated the literary movement and the god of Wenchang Emperor. Kuixing belief flourished in the Song Dynasty and lasted for a long time, becoming the most admired god of scholars in feudal society except Wenchang Emperor. July 7th is Kuixing's birthday.

In many places in China, Kuixing Tower or Kuixing Pavilion has been built, and Kuixing statue is shaped in its main hall. People who have never seen the statue of Kuixing may think that since Kuixing is in charge of the imperial examination, he must be a gentle white-faced scholar, right? In fact, on the contrary, Kuixing looks ferocious, with golden body and blue face, red hair and red eyes, and two horns on his head, as if he were a ghost. This Kuixing holds a big brush in his right hand, which means to sort the names of China people with a pen. He has a bucket in his left hand and a golden rooster in his right foot. His feet stood on the head of a chinemys reevesii in the sea, which means "take the lead". His left foot is lifted and kicked in order to echo a big hook at the lower right of the word "Kui" in shape. His feet are the Big Dipper. See.

At present, the incense sticks in Kuixing Pagoda are still very prosperous, because the competition in modern society is more intense, all parents have high hopes for their children, and all students are looking forward to being top students, so they all come to worship Kuixing Pagoda, and each Kuixing Pagoda has a list of top students in the local college entrance examination over the years. But none of the successful university questioners in ancient and modern times worshipped Kuixing.

[Edit this paragraph] Legend

The story of Kuixing goes like this: In ancient times, there was a scholar whose name was not tested. Let's call him Kuixing. This man is very clever. He is a famous poet in Kuixinglou, Yiyang, with great talent. He is eloquent, but extremely ugly, so he often comes last in the interview. What does he look like? It is said that he is ugly, pockmarked all over his face, limping with one foot and walking with a limp, but his article is so well written that he finally passed the provincial examination step by step and will work hard to rank first in high school again and again. When he entered the palace for an exam, the emperor personally interviewed his literary talent. He was unhappy when he saw his appearance and the way he walked in circles on his temples. The emperor asked, "What happened to your face?" He replied: "Back to the Holy Land, this is' pockmarked face reflects the sky and holds the stars'." The emperor thought this man was very funny and asked, "What about your lame leg?" He replied: "Go back to the Holy Land. This is' jumping on one foot and taking the lead'." The emperor was satisfied with his agility and asked, "I ask you a question, and you have to answer truthfully: Who do you think is the best writer in the world now?" He thought for a moment and said, "the articles in the world belong to my county, the articles in my county belong to my hometown, and the articles in my hometown belong to my brother." My brother asked me to change the article. " The emperor was overjoyed. After reading his article, I was even more amazed: "It is worthy of being the first in the world!" So he was appointed as the champion.

The talent, wisdom and diligence of this ugly scholar made him a superstar-the top four of the Big Dipper, in charge of fame and fortune. Take the word "kui" apart, half of it is "ghost" and the other half is "fight". It should be the talented Kuixing people and Beidou constellation. It is said that you are what the calligraphy in Kuixing's hand criticizes you, which is the origin of the saying that "if you write too much, you are afraid of calligraphy and don't nod".

It is said that from then on, the stone slab in the middle of the steps of the main hall of the palace was engraved with dragon patterns and dragon patterns, and there was a chief bucket next to it. When palace examination announced the list, the candidates gathered in front of the temple, and the Jinshi stood at the steps to meet the list. The champion appeared on the top, holding a champion in his hand, indicating that he was the "champion in one fell swoop" and "leader".
