Zhong Kui
el cazador de fantasmas con el rostro feo
earthA Zhong Kui se le negaron sus honores por su fealdad y murió en protesta, luego se levantó como el gran vencedor de demonios; soñar con él es aprender que lo que el mundo rechazó en ti puede ser exactamente lo que necesita proteger.
To the friend who buried him he sent his own sister as bride, escorted by a wedding procession of demons; even his gratitude arrives with teeth.
He passed the highest examination and was stripped of it for his face, and dashed his head against the palace steps; the underworld valued what the court could not see.
People paste his fierce portrait on their doors at New Year, and the demons keep walking; the ugliest guardian is the kindest inside.
He rides a donkey, not a war-horse, with a sword too big for him and eighty thousand ghosts under his command; elegance was never the point.
