I was at a Confucian temple recently and the charachter 魁 (kui) was everywhere. People were even paying RMB 300 to have priests burn specially marked kui sticks of incense for them.
In all the dictionaries I ahve checked, including pleco, kui just comes up as head, or chief. I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on its actual signifigance in Confucian thought.
thanks!
