520			_a"斬鬼傳" by Zhang Liu is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The book revolves around the character Zhong Kui, a talented yet outwardly unappealing scholar who faces trials and tribulations due to his looks and society's prejudices. It explores themes of morality, justice, and the supernatural as Zhong Kui is appointed as a demon-slaying deity after confronting various spirits and malevolent beings in his quest for honor and acceptance. The opening of the story introduces the main character, Zhong Kui, as he journeys to the capital during the Tang dynasty to take part in the imperial examinations. Despite his impressive literary talent, he faces immediate rejection due to his frightening appearance, leading to a dramatic confrontation with the emperor and his officials. Following an incident that results in his untimely death, he is resurrected and tasked with battling evil spirits on behalf of the heavenly authority. As he prepares for his new role, he assembles a team to confront various challenges posed by demons, setting the stage for an epic struggle against malevolence intertwined with humor and adventure.
