With the motif of bats signifying “fortune coming” based on the “bat” and “fortune” homonym, this kite illustrates a scene of Zhong Kui, the legendary figure in Chinese mythology known for the ability of subduing all evil beings, with his one hand pointing to the bats angrily while the other holding a sword, reprimanding the bats, or fortunes, for late coming.
