hades

The boundary among the three realms of heaven, earth and man. It's the realm of death. It's controlled by the king of hell!

Hell refers to the place where people are after death. In China, a large number of ancient myths and Taoist classics have records of yin and Yang. Chinese people divide everything in the world into two poles. This is the theory of yin and Yang in China, which is an important part of ancient Chinese philosophy. Because in our traditional culture, there is also the saying that plants become essence "vine essence makes a strange tree", which is also due to the Taoist Yang God that "gather together to form, scatter to zero". Even things that can be refined, including stones, anything with aura can be changed and shaped. And not rigidly adhere to the six ways. But it is always included in the theory of yin and Yang.

Idiom explanation

Source: Li Lvyuan, Qing Dynasty "the lamp on the wrong side of the road": "when I come to our house, I can't send my grandfather to the earth or serve my grandmother. Instead, I ask my grandmother to serve me and kill my parents. This unfilial, even in the underworld, is also uneasy. " Example: the eighth chapter of the sequel of Lao Can's travels by Liu e of Qing Dynasty: "I don't understand why we should use such a heavy criminal law, with the power of your majesty, can't we lighten it?" Myth Yin Cao Di Fu: in China, a large number of ancient myths and Taoist classics have records of Yin Cao Di Fu. Chinese people divide everything in the world into two poles, which is the theory of yin and Yang in China. It is an important part of ancient Chinese philosophy. Chinese people divide the living space of human beings into heaven (Yang) and earth (Yin); human beings into men (Yang), women (Yin); time white (Yang) ）In China, there are three realms, namely, heaven, earth and hell. It is believed that human beings have souls, and each of them has three souls and seven spirits. At least before the Zhou Dynasty, people thought that human beings were divided into souls. The soul of Yang and the soul of Yin were combined to form human beings. After human beings died, the spirit and spirit returned to heaven, and the spirit and body returned to earth The spirit world is divided into three parts: the earth on earth, the heaven of gods in the sky, and the hell of spirits in the earth. Huangquan is probably the earliest concept of hell in Chinese religious belief. Later, Yin Cao hell appeared in Taoism in Han Dynasty. Influenced by the introduction of Buddhism, a systematic hell system was developed on the basis of the original evil Cao hell in Taoism, that is, 18 layers of hell. The concept of hell is greater than hell, and the concept of hell is greater than hell. The underworld generally refers to the space where the dead are located, so it is not limited to the underworld, or even overlaps with the earthly world in space, which can not be perceived by people. Hell refers to the place where the dead are imprisoned and punished, which can be said to be the prison and execution ground of the underworld. However, ordinary people may still laugh in the underworld after death, just like living in the human world, and even become immortals after death God is in heaven. Fengdu Emperor (Fengdu Beiyin emperor) and the other four ghost emperors, Yama (Yama), or the separated Shidian Yama, are the masters of the underworld. The later earth God (later earth emperor dizhi), Mount Tai God Tianqi King (Dongyue emperor), dizang king and Chenghuang are also the gods in charge of human life and death. The "three realms" here refers to the three realms of Taoism. Although Buddhism has expanded the three realms to six realms, it is still not comprehensive, because in our traditional culture, there is also the saying "vine essence and tree monster" that plants become essence. This truth also stems from the Taoist idea that Yang God can "gather to form, scatter to zero". Even things that can be refined, including stones, anything with aura can be changed and shaped. And not rigidly adhere to the six ways. But it is always included in the theory of yin and Yang. The underworld is in charge of the life of all living things. After death, the souls of all things in heaven and earth are confined to the Yin world by black and white, and all the good and evil in the Yang world will end here. It is the so-called living in the sun, the dead in the underworld, a world in the sun, a world in the underworld. The world says that the underworld is gloomy and terrifying. There are ghosts everywhere. In fact, who has seen it with his own eyes? There is beauty and ugliness in a world. This is true in the world of the sun, and it is true in the world of the underworld.

clergy

According to legend, the distribution of the clergy in the underworld is as follows: first of all, the highest ranking emperor Tianqi Rensheng is in charge of all living things on the earth. After the great Fengdu emperor of Beiyin, there are five ghost Emperors: Eastern ghost emperors Cai Yulei and Shencha, who govern the "taozhishan" ghost gate; Western ghost emperors Zhao Wenhe and Wang Zhenren, who govern the "Yizhong mountain"; northern ghost emperors Zhang Heng and Yang Yun, who govern the Luofeng mountain; Southern ghost emperors Du Ziren, who govern the Luofu Mountain; central ghost emperors Zhou Qi and Ji Kang, who govern the "Baodu mountain"; and then there are six days of Luofeng (the following is the name of the palace, six days is the palace) They are: Zhou Jueyin heavenly palace, taishaliang Shizong heavenly palace, Naijin Wucheng heavenly palace in the morning, Tian Zhao sin Qi heavenly palace, zongling Qifei heavenly palace, and Gan Si Lianwan repeatedly heavenly palace. According to the legend, the hell is controlled by the ten hall king of Yama. The ten hall king of Yama are: King Guang of Qin, King Jiang of Chu, king song, King Xiguan, King Yama, King egalitarian, King Taishan, King metropolis, King Biancheng and King runner. king Guangwang of Qin Dynasty, who is in charge of the book of longevity and premature death, birth and death, and unified management of the punishment in the underworld and the good and bad fortune in the next life. The ghost judgment hall is located in the middle of the sea, outside the wojiao stone, and on the black road of huangquan in the West. The king of Chu River, who is in charge of the bottom of the sea, is the living hell under the wojiao stone in the south. the emperor of the Song Dynasty is in charge of the bottom of the sea and the black rope hell in the southeast. The five sense organs king is in charge of the hell, which is at the bottom of the sea and under the wojiao stone in the East. king of Hell -- the bottom of the sea, called the great hell in the northeast. Biancheng king, who is in charge of the bottom of the sea, is calling the great hell under the wojiao stone in the north. The king of Mount Tai is in charge of the great sea bottom, and he is in charge of the great hell under the northern wojiao stone. The king of the city, who is in charge of the bottom of the sea, is in the great heat of hell under the wojiao stone in the West. the king of equality is in charge of the great sea bottom, a big hell under wojiaoshi in the southwest. the king of the wheel, the temple is located outside the wojiao stone in the underworld, facing the five turbid worlds in the East. There are also: Chief Judge Cui Fujun, Zhong Kui, black and white impermanence, Niu Touma Mian, Meng Boshen and so on. The whole hell is like this. Among these unique Chinese systems of the underworld and the God, there is a Tibetan Bodhisattva created by Buddhism in order to better teach in China. Moreover, Buddhists have installed a good advertisement for him, that is, hell is not empty, vowing not to become a Buddha. But if you think about it carefully, it's really contradictory. Even if the nether world in hell is gone, there is still a Bodhisattva in Tibet. So hell will never be empty, and he will never become a Buddha. This is a very disturbing thing for Buddhists in the later period. At the same time, in its system, dizang is more like a non-governmental organization. It can only do what it wants, but can't manage. Therefore, the theory of Tibetans is somewhat superfluous.

Ten halls of hell

Yama is considered to be the master of hell, in charge of the reincarnation of hell. It was introduced into China from India during the southern and Northern Dynasties. Because of the mutual influence between the belief of Yama and the belief system of Taoism, the ten hall Yama with Chinese color has evolved. In Chinese Buddhism, there is the theory of ten hall Yama. This theory originated in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that the emperor of heaven conferred the title of King Yama, who led the hell and the guards of the five mountains. Hell is further divided into ten halls, each of which has its own name and name, called the ten kings of the earth, collectively referred to as the ten halls of hell. Each of the ten halls has its own master, birthday and full-time job, which are described as follows: the first Hall: Jiang Ziwen, king of Guangming of Qin Dynasty, was born on the first day of February (which is said to be the second day of February). the second Hall: Chu River King calendar, born on the first day of March, specializes in living hell, namely ice hell. the third Hall: Emperor Yu of the Song Dynasty (Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty), born on the 8th of February, specializes in black rope hell. the fourth Hall: LV (Guanming king), the king of five senses, was born on February 18, specializing in the great hell, namely the blood pool hell.

He specializes in the lively hell, that is, the meat sauce hell. the eighth Hall: Metropolitan Wang Huang, born on the first day of April, specializes in the great heat and the great hell, that is, the stuffy pot hell. the ninth Hall: equal King Lu, born on the 8th of April, specializes in iron net. the tenth Hall: runner Wang Xue, born on April 17, is specialized in solving ghosts in all halls, distinguishing between good and evil, determining the level, and sending them to incarnation. In the first hall, King Guangwang of Qin was responsible for the book of life and death. Control the good and bad fortune of the nether world. The hall of ghost judgment lives outside the reef of the sea. It's the black road of huangquan in the West. Every good life will die. There is a way to lead to life.

He was sent to prison to suffer. In the second hall, the king of Chu River is in charge of the bottom of the sea. It's the living hell under nanwo stone.
