Kuixing was originally referred to the four stars of the Big Dipper in ancient astronomy. Later, it was adopted by Dao as the god of scholars, also known as the god of Wenchang Wang. Since the Song Dynasty, the deity Kuixing has been worshipped by scholars. Buildings are named after this deity throughout China. Kuixing faces forward with a broad chest and skinny limbs. Dressed with thin clothes and trousers, tied loosely with a ribbon, the deity danced with his left hand holding the ink pot, and another hand holding a brush. Left leg is lifted towards the back carrying a message of blessing. The bronze material was carefully selected and the figure is casted with meticulous attention to detail, from the expression of Kuixing, to the posture and its clothings. Flakes of gold still remain on the statue to enhance the solemness of the deity. Casted with large beady eyes and a wide smile, Kuixing carries a blessing to students and scholars who are about to take exams. As an ancient country with high emphasis on studies, it was also believed that this deity would help rulers of the Tang and Song Dynasties to run their country. This decorative piece was casted in the Ming Dynasty and serves as a blessing to its scholar owners.
