What 逵 means
It names a road where routes meet. The ancient Chinese poetry collection 《诗经》 uses it in 中逵; the early character dictionary 《说文解字》 explains it as a road reached from nine directions. Later classics use 逵穴 for a passage beneath the water.
Literary for roads; everyday Mandarin uses 道 or 路.
In a name or quote, don't replace 逵 with 馗.
