How is the level of hell divided?

First of all, we should make it clear that the three realms mentioned by Taoism in China and the three realms mentioned by Western Buddhism are not the same concept. The three realms of Buddhism refer to the realm of desire, the realm of color and the realm of achromatic. The three realms of Taoism in China are heaven, earth and man.

The boundaries are underworld, underworld, underworld, underworld.

There is also a concept of six realms, which refers to the celestial world, the celestial world, the human world, the underworld, the demon world and the underworld.

The underworld is the floorboard of Buddhism, hell, hungry ghosts and beasts, which is also the six divisions in the wheel of karma. The six ways include Heaven, Humanity, Asura, Beast, Hungry Ghost and Hell.

This paper summarizes and introduces the hierarchy and organizational system of the immortals in the underworld, and combines the related concepts of China folk mythology, Taoism and Buddhism.

One is the first-class ruler of the underworld-Emperor Tianqi of Dongyue, Empress Tietu, and Bodhisattva.

Combining folk mythology, Taoism and Buddhism, it can be said that all three are the supreme rulers of the underworld. They are:

Dongyue Apocalypse Emperor (representative of Taoism), Tietu Queen (representative of folk mythology) and Bodhisattva (representative of Buddhism).

1. Tianqi Sheng Di

Huang was named in the list of deities: Mount Tai, Tianqi Rensheng Emperor, Dongyue, and the head of the Five Mountains. The Buddha at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty also appointed the Apocalypse Rensheng the Great to be in charge of the eighteen layers of hell in the underworld.

2. Queen 2.Gotu

(1) The "Four Emperors" of Taoism are: the Great Emperor Wei Zi in the Arctic, the Immortal Emperor in the Antarctic, the Great Emperor Gou Chen who went to the palace and the Great Huang Tu who succeeded to heaven. Inheriting heaven and imitating the empress dowager is just the empress dowager.

3.？ Jizo

Before becoming a Buddha, the Tibetan Bodhisattva vowed to be six sentient beings. Therefore, a peerless god like Earth Treasure King is invisible and transcends all sentient beings.

Second, the second-level ruler of the underworld-Yin Bei Fengdu Emperor

Yin Bei Fengdu Emperor is the owner of the Five-Party Ghost King and the Ten-Hall Yamaraja, and the incarnation of China Emperor Wei Zi in the underworld. This legend seems to be a bit contradictory to whether the queen is a queen. Because Yin Bei's Empress Dowager and Fengdu Emperor belong to one of the "Four Emperors", namely, Emperor Wei Zi and Empress Dowager in the Arctic, if the Empress Dowager who inherited heaven and imitated the Empress Dowager is regarded as a first-class god, while the Arctic Emperor Wei Zi incarnates Fengdu Emperor, it is a second-class god and belongs to the Empress Dowager.

3. resist the invasion of wucheng tiangong tomorrow morning.

4. Zhao Tian's sin paradise

(3) Night tour

(4) impermanence

(5) Niutou

Due to the long history of China culture, there are rich fairy tales about the gods of heaven and earth. In addition, the introduction of Buddhism also had a certain impact on China's myth system, and the relationship between various immortals and characters was complicated and even contradictory. But these do not affect people's understanding of traditional culture.
