DETAIL

♦Sacred birth celebrated on the 7th day of the 7th Lunar month♦

Master Wen Kui is also known as Star Lord Kui, Great Master Kui, or Greta Kui the Star Lord. He is the incarnation of the star Megrez, and is a guardian saint of scholars. The form is based on the shape of the character “魁 (kui)”, with a foot raised up in the back like the long, hooked stroke of the character containing the radical character斗 (dou, dipper), with the other hand holding a writing implement, suggesting the pen that marks the names of those who will pass the test. This is the basis for the saying “Those marked by the Kui Star Lord will rise to the top.”
