[Collection and Explanation] Li Shizhen says: The Yi Shi records that during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Zhong Kui failed the imperial examination and died by striking his head against a step. Later, Emperor Minghuang dreamed of a small ghost stealing a jade flute, while a large ghost (wearing a tattered hat and blue robe) caught and ate the small ghost. The Emperor asked him. He replied, "I am Zhong Kui, a Jinshi scholar from Zhongnan Mountain. Having been granted robes and belts for my burial, I swore to eradicate all dissipating ghosts in the world." Thus, Wu Daozi was ordered to paint an image, which was circulated throughout the world. Li Shizhen respectfully notes that according to the Erya, Zhong Kui is the name of a fungus. According to the commentary on Kaogong Ji, Zhong Kui is the name of a mallet. Fungi resemble mallets in shape, and mallets resemble fungi, hence they share the same name. Popular paintings depict the deity holding a mallet to strike ghosts, therefore...
[Indications] To ward off evil and stop malaria. (Li Shizhen).
