Zhong Kui's three-foot sword is stained with ink, and there is no ghost smoke in the world - watch the mighty judge step on the yin and yang, kill the demons, and protect the clear and bright night for the whole life. "The Legend of Zhong Kui Kills Ghosts" is a full-length satirical novel with ten chapters written by the Qing Dynasty novelist Liu Zhang (also known as Yanxia Sanren). The work takes Zhong Kui as the master of exorcism after his death and tells the story of how he exterminated the demons one by one according to the "Ghost Book". The "ghosts" in the book are not simply gods and monsters, but symbols of social ugliness and human flaws. With the plot of Zhong Kui slaying ghosts, the author satirizes greed, hypocrisy, treachery and other evil deeds in the world, reveals the harshness of the world, and is full of allegorical color.
