Feng Shui, put Zhong Kui at home, okay?

Zhong Kui: It is said that people in the Sui and Tang Dynasties had strong bodies, big arms and round waists. They not only know fencing, but also show chivalrous courage. People often judge people by their appearances. Everyone thinks he is a strong man and a hero. It happened that he was successful in his studies and was admitted in Tang Gaozu ... According to the requirements of the exam, the Emperor Palace exam was finally tried by himself, but Gaozu saw his appearance and publicly pointed out that he didn't believe his previous exam results. Zhong Kui was ashamed and angry, so he quickly crashed into a column and died as a mirror, but the emperor didn't stop him before.

Later, during the reign of Xuanzong in the middle Tang Dynasty, he was restless and had nightmares for several months. Because of poor sleep quality, pale and exhausted during the day, diseases also followed. Later, a strong ghost in a red robe suddenly appeared in my dream to catch the kid I often dream about? Just hit it, then open your mouth and swallow it. Then he bowed to Xuanzong and told his life story, saying that he was crying to death, and the injustice was too heavy for the underworld to accept. I hope he can stand by and clear it. He also promised not to remember the Li family's revenge and was willing to protect Xuanzong. Then I left.

From then on, Xuanzong never had nightmares again, and his illness recovered in a few days. He remembered Zhong Kui, a chivalrous man, and ordered Wu Daozi, a painter, to paint a portrait of Zhong Kui and hang it in his study according to his dictation, and posthumously awarded Zhong Kui as the general to subdue demons. Wu Daozi is also amazing. He can paint vividly without seeing anything.

Later, Zhong Kui's name became more and more popular, and the story was enriched. The portraits of "Zhong Kui married his younger sister" and "Zhong Kui saved Yang Guifei" are also eclectic. Folk painters painted various "Statues of Zhong Kui" with the title "Zhong Kui, Shi Tian".

Folklore figures are mostly absorbed by Taoism, because Zhong Kui is both civil and military, and Taoism chooses Zhong Kui as the king of wenchang star (Wenquxing is different from wenchang star, Wenquxing is in charge of further study and wenchang star is in charge of articles).

Therefore, Zhong Kui has always been a positive image, chivalrous, brave, capable of writing and fighting, so it can be put aside.
