Kidd is invoked as a source in discussions of Chinese customs, especially auguries and diviners. The account gives him no personal history or appearance; his place in the book is that of a scholar whose name lends weight to its explanations.
Description
The text provides no visual details for Kidd. His age, build, coloring, hair, eyes, facial features, and clothing are unspecified, so none can be established as part of a consistent portrait.
