About
The character 祟 (suì) is an ideogrammatic compound associated with misfortune, curses, and supernatural harm. Its vertical structure places 出 (chū, to emerge) above 示 (shì, an altar or spirit). The 示 radical establishes a semantic category of religious or spiritual phenomena. Together, these elements depict malevolent spiritual forces emerging to interact with the human world. The meaning specifically refers to ghostly visitations or demonic influences that secretly cause illness, disaster, or bad luck.
