Is Lord Kuixing the god of ancient scholars?

Some scholars have pointed out that "Lord Kuixing" may be related to Zhong Kui, and Zhong Kui is a story figure in the ancient legend of China. According to Shen Kuo, a famous scientist in the Song Dynasty, in Meng Xi Talk, when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was ill, he dreamed of catching a child in GREAT GHOST. When asked, he called himself Zhong Kui. Before he died, he failed in Wushu. After his death, he was determined to destroy Uber in the world. When Ming Taizu woke up, he ordered the painter Wu Daozi to draw a portrait. According to Shen Kuo's Talk about Meng Xi in Song Dynasty, the stories of Zhong Kui and Kuixing are very similar: Zhong Kui was interviewed in Jin Dian, and the emperor didn't like his ugliness and didn't win the first prize. In a rage, he committed suicide by hitting a pillar on the golden steps and fell into the underworld, and was named "Marshal Ping Gui" by Yan Luowang. In the eyes of China folks, especially scholars, Zhong Kui is known as the "Kuixing", and it also dominated the examinations of ancient scholars, making him the first, a dedicated scholar. According to textual research, the superstition that Kuixing dominated the examination began in Song Dynasty, and it is also credible that Zhong Kui was called the reading god in Tang and Song Dynasties.
