The first group have 炬口 [ju kou] burning torch-like mouths, or 鍼口 [zhen kou] narrow needle mouths, or 臭口 [chou kou] stinking mouths; the second group have hair like needles, or stinking hair, or tumours; the rich ghosts haunt sacrifices to the dead, or eat human leavings, or live truculently.

九鬼 [jiu gui]—Nine Ghosts—[Terminology] Shun Zheng Theory (顺正理论 [shun zheng li lun]) Chapter 31 states there are three types of ghosts (鬼 [gui]):
1. Ghosts without Wealth (无财鬼 [wu cai gui]).
2. Ghosts with Little Wealth (少财鬼 [shao cai gui]).
3. Ghosts with Much Wealth (多财鬼 [duo cai gui]).
Each of these three types also has three sub-types.
The three types of Ghosts without Wealth (无财鬼 [wu cai gui]) are:
1. Torch-Mouthed Ghosts (炬口鬼 [ju kou gui]).
2. Needle-Mouthed Ghosts (鍼口鬼 [zhen kou gui]).
3. Foul-Mouthed Ghosts (臭口鬼 [chou kou gui]).
The three types of Ghosts with Little Wealth (少财鬼 [shao cai gui]) are:
1. Needle-Haired Ghosts (鍼毛鬼 [zhen mao gui]), whose hairs are like needles, using them to prick themselves and others.
2. Foul-Haired Ghosts (臭毛鬼 [chou mao gui]).
3. Goiter Ghosts (癭鬼 [ying gui]).
The three types of Ghosts with Much Wealth (多财鬼 [duo cai gui]) are:
1. Shrine-Dwelling Ghosts (希祠鬼 [xi ci gui]). They often reside in shrines, hoping for food.
2. Discard-Eating Ghosts (希弃鬼 [xi qi gui]). They often hope for people's discards and eat them.
3. Great Power Ghosts (大势鬼 [da shi gui]). They have great power and great fortune like gods.
Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya (俱舍论 [ju she lun]) Chapter 11 states: "Some are dignified and possess great power, enjoying various riches and pleasures, free like gods. Others are emaciated and ugly in appearance. Such types are extensively described in the scriptures."
[Terminology] See the entry for Preta (饿鬼 [e gui]).

九歸 [jiǔ guī] [jiu gui]—
Abacus calculation methods (珠算法 [zhu suan fa]) using the nine single-digit numbers (個位數 [ge wei shu]) from '一 [yi]' to '九 [jiu]' as divisors (除數 [chu shu]). For example, '逢六進一 [feng liu jin yi]' means six divided by six, yielding a quotient (商數 [shang shu]) of one; '六三添作五 [liu san tian zuo wu]' means six divided by thirty, yielding a quotient (商數 [shang shu]) of five.
九歸：用「一」至「九」的九個個位數為除數的珠算法。如「逢六進一」，就是六除六，得商數一；「六三添作五」，就是六除三十，得商數五。

酒鬼 [jiǔ guǐ] [jiu gui]—
A metaphor for someone addicted to alcohol (嗜酒 [shi jiu]) and drinks excessively (貪杯 [tan bei]). It implies contempt (蔑視 [mie shi]). For example: "After his business failed, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol (借酒澆愁 [jie jiu jiao chou]) all day long, becoming an alcoholic." From Chapter 93 of "Flowers in the Mirror" (《鏡花緣 [jing hua yuan]》): "In the future, when later generations see these drinking game rules (酒令 [jiu ling]), they will still take us for a bunch of drunkards."
酒鬼：比喻嗜酒貪杯的人。含蔑視之意。如：「事業失敗以後，他終日借酒澆愁，成了個酒鬼。」《鏡花緣》第九三回：「將來後人見這酒令，還把我們當做一群酒鬼哩。」
jiǔ guǐ: bǐ yù shì jiǔ tān bēi de rén. hán miè shì zhī yì. rú: “shì yè shī bài yǐ hòu, tā zhōng rì jiè jiǔ jiāo chóu, chéng le gè jiǔ guǐ.” < jìng huā yuán> dì jiǔ sān huí: “jiāng lái hòu rén jiàn zhè jiǔ lìng, hái bǎ wǒ men dāng zuò yī qún jiǔ guǐ lī.”
jiu gui: bi yu shi jiu tan bei de ren. han mie shi zhi yi. ru: "shi ye shi bai yi hou, ta zhong ri jie jiu jiao chou, cheng le ge jiu gui." < jing hua yuan> di jiu san hui: "jiang lai hou ren jian zhe jiu ling, hai ba wo men dang zuo yi qun jiu gui li."
