Zhong Kui Temple

Zhong Kui Temple

On Furong Mountain in Hexi, Changsha, stands a Zhong Kui Temple, said to have been built by locals in gratitude for Zhong Kui's ghost-expelling powers. Zhong Kui is a deity in Chinese folklore who subdues ghosts, and was a real historical figure born in the Tang dynasty, one of the five talents of Lingling, Hunan. Because of his extremely ugly appearance, he passed the imperial exam but was rejected by the emperor, who joked that even ghosts feared his looks and that he could only manage ghosts. Unable to serve, he roamed the world.

  长沙市河西芙蓉山上有座钟馗庙,相传是当地百姓为感谢钟馗驱鬼而建的。 

  钟馗是我国民间专门驱鬼的神,历史上确有其人。他生于唐代,是湖南零陵五才子之一。只因他相貌奇丑,考中进士而不为皇帝所用。皇帝说他的相貌丑得连鬼都怕,讥笑他只能去管鬼。
 
  满怀报国之志的钟馗想不到因相貌丑陋而不能人仕。于是,他开始云游四海。但令人惊奇的是,他每游到一地,那里就无鬼无魅,平安无事,从此,钟馗驱鬼的名声开始传遍天下。 

  有一天,钟馗云游到长沙,路经河西芙蓉山时,听到有户人家的女儿被鬼所寻,已经气息奄奄。钟馗立即留下,走进这户人家。这户人家女儿的病立即就好了。家人十分感激,要送财帛给他。钟馗不但不受,还把自己剑上的一个玉蝙蝠送给了这户人家,要他挂在家里,驱鬼压邪。这户人家为了感谢钟馗,也为了保得地方的安宁,就为钟馗建了一座庙,并把玉蝙蝠从家中取出,供奉在庙中。从此,芙蓉山一带的百姓不再怕鬼,他们认为世界上的鬼都由钟馗管着,不须害怕。
