Kuixing's Catalogue of Liaozhai

[1] Yuncheng: county name. This is from Shandong province.

[2] Kuixing: the common name of Kuixing. Su Kui, originally one of the twenty-eight places of ancient astronomy in China, was regarded as the god of literature by later generations because of the article "Zhu Kui" in the Book of Filial Piety in Han Dynasty. But idols "can't be like Wei Xiao, change Wei Xiao into Wei Xiao, and can't be like Wei Xiao, but they have to go zigzag and fight for ghosts." (Gu Rizhilu) So Kuixing's head is like a ghost, with one foot tilted backwards, like the hook of the word "Kui": holding a bucket in one hand, like the word "Dou" in the word "Kui"! Handwriting means naming people from China. [3] Yuan Kui: You are the first, which means that you won the first place in the imperial examination. Zhang Jiyu, a native of Yuncheng, was still sleeping one day when he suddenly saw a bright lamp illuminating the whole room. He watched in surprise and saw a ghost standing with a pen, like a giant star. He quickly got up and bowed to Kuixing, and the light disappeared.

Since then, Zhang Jiyu has become conceited, thinking that this must be a sign of being among the best in scientific research. However, since then, he has been down and out, accomplished nothing, and his family has declined. His relatives have died one after another, leaving him alone.

Why didn't the kuixing give Zhang Jiyu a blessing, but a curse?
