Year of the Horse Auspicious Door God Couplet / Zhong Kui Bringing Blessings / Only Blessings Arrive

"Only Blessings Arrive" There has long been a fondness for images of Zhong Kui among the populace. Zhong Kui is widely revered in folklore as a door god for the Spring Festival and a hanging image for the Dragon Boat Festival. In the past, at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival in the fifth lunar month, people traditionally used cinnabar to dot the eyes of Zhong Kui paintings and the Big Dipper on his sword. This practice, similar to the consecration of Buddhist statues, was intended to ward off evil spirits. This piece features the classic "Zhong Kui Holding a Sword with Bats Arriving" composition (a pun on "Only Blessings Arrive"). Zhong Kui's right hand wields the Big Dipper sword, capable of vanquishing demons and malevolent spirits. His left leg is raised independently, striking a powerful and imposing pose. Merely his frown seems enough to drive away ghosts and evil. The "Only Blessings Arrive" Zhong Kui image can guard the home, inviting peace and attracting good fortune. It's no wonder it is so beloved by the people. Calligraphy: Deng Shiru (1743-1805), a Qing Dynasty calligrapher and seal carver.
