Zhong Kui
The appearance of Zhong Kui is related to Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. According to Shen Kuo's Bubitan, a famous scholar and scientist in the Song Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty talked about Mount Li during the Kaiyuan period. After returning to the palace, he got malaria and could not recover for more than a month. Suddenly one night I dreamed of two ghosts, a big one and a small one. Lame and blind, this boy stole Yang Guifei's purple sachet and Ming Taizu's flute and fled around the temple. GREAT GHOST, wearing a hat, bare arms and boots, grabbed the child, gouged out his eyeball and ate it. The emperor asked GREAT GHOST: Who are you? A: My slave is Zhong Kui, who came to respond to martial arts, but failed, and vowed to rid your majesty of all evils. Ming Taizu recovered from her dream. So I asked the painter Wu Daozi to draw a portrait of Zhong Kui, printed it and distributed it to ministers. See clear. Zhao Yi. Textual research on yu cong. Volume 35. Zhong Kui.
According to folklore, Zhong Kui has friends from different villages who teach Du Ping. They are charitable and support Zhong Kui to take the exam in Beijing. Zhong Kui was disqualified as the top scholar by the emperor because he was ugly. In a rage, he bumped his head on the steps and died. Du Ping buried him. After Zhong Kui became the ghost king, in order to repay Du Ping's kindness before his death, he personally led the ghost pawn to return home on New Year's Eve and betrothed his sister to Du Ping. This is the famous story of "Zhong Kui married his sister".
Zhong Kui Temple
There is a Zhong Kui Temple on Furong Mountain in the west of Changsha. According to legend, it was built by local people to thank Zhong Kui for exorcism.
Zhong Kui is a folk god who specializes in exorcising ghosts, and it did exist in history. Born in the Tang Dynasty, he was one of the five gifted scholars in Lingling, Hunan. Because of its ugly appearance, it was admitted to the Jinshi and was not used by the emperor. The emperor said he was too ugly, afraid of ghosts, and laughed that he could only manage ghosts.
Zhong Kui, who is full of ambition to serve his country, never thought that he could not be an official because of his ugly appearance. So he began to travel around the world. But surprisingly, every time he swam to a place, there was no ghost, no charm and nothing. Since then, Zhong Kui's reputation for exorcism has spread all over the world.
One day, Zhong Kui traveled to Changsha and passed by Furong Mountain in Hexi. He heard that a family's daughter was found by a ghost and was dying. Zhong Kui immediately froze and walked into the house. The daughter of this family recovered quickly. The family is very grateful and wants to send him money. Zhong Kui not only refused, but also gave the jade bat on his sword to this family, asking him to hang it at home to exorcise evil spirits. In order to thank Zhong Kui and keep the local peace, the family built a temple for Zhong Kui, and took the jade bat out of the house to be enshrined in the temple. Since then, people in Furong Mountain area are no longer afraid of ghosts. They think that all the ghosts in the world are under the control of Zhong Kui, so there is no need to be afraid.
During the reign of Dezong in the Tang Dynasty, there was a son named Zhong Kui, a man with a leopard head, a tiger forehead, an iron face, round eyes and a big beard. This Zhong Kui is ugly, but he is outstanding in talent and martial arts. This year coincided with the autumn imperial examination, and Zhong Kui bid farewell to his relatives and friends in Beijing to catch the exam.
Zhong Kui travel-stained came to Chang 'an, and was very happy to see the bustling scene of the Beijing Tower, wandering in the street. Seeing a divination pavilion in front of him, he went to the pavilion and said, "Sir, I'm catching up on the exam. Please give me a good or bad luck to calculate my future. " Say and write a word "ugly". Mr. Juzi carefully looked at the word "embarrassing" and said slowly, "Xianggong, this scientific research article is bound to be the best, but if you are unlucky, you will not only be ruined in Sun Shan, but also be unlucky." Mr. Juzi paused for a moment and said, "Today is the 9th, and it's your first time to take the exam in September. You will definitely rank first. However, this first word aside, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe within ten days. I hope to be cautious. " Zhong Kui thought: As long as a gentleman is alive, how can there be a catastrophe? So he didn't pay the money to his heart and walked away.
A few days later, Zhong Kui entered the examination room. After reading the examination questions, Zhong Kui immediately "brushed" the article and handed it in. On that day, the examiner was Han Yu, assistant minister of the official department, and the deputy examiner was Lu Zhi, a university student. When they read Zhong Kui's paper, they couldn't help but shine at the moment and say with one voice, "Wizards? Wizards this article is written well after Li Taibai and Du Zimei? " So Zhong Kui ordered it first.
De Zong heard from Han Yu that Zhong Kui, the top scholar of the new department, was brilliant, so he summoned Zhong Kui in Jindian.
When Dezong saw Zhong Kui's ugly face, he suddenly felt unhappy. "How can I judge such an ugly person as the Golden Branch Champion?" "Han Yu hurriedly knelt down and said," the pros and cons of people are all in appearance. Didn't the Lord hear that Yan should stutter for Qi Zhouchang, and he could help Confucius in the Han Dynasty judge people by their appearances and lose his hair? I hope your majesty will think twice. Dezong thought for a moment and said, "Han's words are reasonable, but when I was in Emperor Taizong, eighteen bachelors went to Yingzhou for beautiful talks. This person is the top scholar, and I am afraid that the world will laugh at my ignorance. " Premier Qilu is narrow-minded and jealous. After listening to the emperor's words, he knelt down and said, "Is it rare for 300 candidates to take both internal and external courses at the same time?" Why not choose another one? " Zhong Kui looked at the man so confused that he could not help pointing angrily at Qilu. "Isn't it a mistake for such a fatuous official to enter the DPRK?" Say fist to Qilu. When Dezong saw this, he was furious and said, "How dare you make a scene and seize the Golden Temple quickly? In a rage, Zhong Kui conveniently pulled out the sword inserted in the waist of the general standing in the temple and sighed loudly: "It's hard for a frustrated cat to learn from a tiger and turn a parrot into a chicken. "Say it's suicide.
When Dezong saw Zhong Kui commit suicide in a rage, it was a big accident. In order to win people's hearts, he ordered Zhong Kui to be buried as the top scholar, and Zhong Kui to exorcise evil spirits from the world.
