 While Kui 夔 originally named a mythic being, Modern Standard Chinese uses it in several other expressions.The reduplication "kuikui" 夔夔 means "awe-struck; fearful; grave" (see the "Shujing" below).The compounds "kuilong" 夔龍 (with "dragon") and "kuiwen" 夔紋 (with "pattern; design") name common motifs on Zhou Dynasty Chinese bronzes.
