CHUNG KWEI ( ZHONG KUI ) THE DESTROYER OF EVIL AND NEGATIVE ENERGIES -FENGGURU001CK

Chung Kwei (Zhong Kui) is known as the destroyer of evil and negative energies in Feng Shui. He is often seen painted on front gates or placed with valuables to act as a protector of the property. In legend he is known as the king of ghosts with the power to command some 80,000 demons.

The story goes that Chung Kwei  went to the imperial palace to take the scholarly exams and received top marks. But the emperor denied him a place in his court because of his ugly appearance. Chung Kwei was so angry he committed suicide by ramming his head against the gates of the palace. Damned to hell for this suicide, the king of hell saw potential in Chung Kwei and endowed him with great powers such as the ability to subdue and exorcize ghosts.

Chung Kwei became most popular during the Tang dynasty in China, when the emperor had fallen ill and had an auspicious dream of the deity. In his dream Chung Kwei expressed that he had sworn to rid the kingdom of all evil and when the emperor awoke he had recovered from his illness and had a portrait of the deity completed for the palace. Since this time Chung Kwei has been known for his ability to scare off all evil with his hideous face and as the “star god of examinations” in recognition of his academic ability.

Chung Kwei  is depicted with a large sword with the power to kill any evil that comes in its way. He is also often surrounded by bats which are favored symbols of great fortune and eternal life. Sometimes he is portrayed in the process of killing demons. Whatever his representation he is sure to be an intimidating force to all dark and malevolent energies.
