What are the 18 levels of hell?

The ancient saying of the Three Realms, the fairy world, the human world, and the demon world. The demon world is also called hell. People who do evil in life will go to hell after death. The more sinful a person is, the more he will suffer the torture of hell. There are eighteen levels of hell, and the lower the hell, the more cruel the punishments. Therefore, people often say that being sent to the eighteen levels of hell is the greatest curse against a person, hoping that he will not die a good death. After the fusion of Buddhism and Taoism in China, hell was divided into 18 levels. The eighteen levels of hell were further divided into the upper nine levels of hell and the lower nine levels of hell.

The eighteen levels of hell are not up and down in space, but up and down in time or ideology. For example, when talking about Confucius, people often say that he was knowledgeable and unpredictable. Another example is the Great Shift of the Universe in Jin Yong's novels, in which cultivation gradually progresses from 10%, 20%, and 30%. Whether it is knowledge or martial arts, their upper and lower levels cannot be shown in space, and the same is true for hell. From this point of view, it is completely ridiculous for people to match the 18th floor with the 18th floor of hell when buying a house.

Furthermore, even according to the usual spatial hierarchy, saying that the 18th floor is hell is a directional mistake. The 18th floor of hell is underground in people's consciousness, while the 18th floor rises high above the ground. Just like that joke, a construction team spent time and effort to build an extremely perfect well, but in the end the employer refused to pay and scolded them. The reason was that the construction team took down the drawings and the employer wanted to repair a chimney.

The 18th floor can be said to be a complete grievance in China. If the experience of the floor itself is really bad, it would be scolded as hell by some people, but in fact it has a lot of advantages. First of all, most of today's high-rise residential buildings are around 30 floors, and the 18th floor is right in the middle, not too high and not too low, with good views, good air, and plenty of sunshine. In addition, the 19th and 19th floors are the most expensive and the most expensive are below the 18th floor, respectively. The prices for 17th and 18th floors are actually much more affordable. Furthermore, China has always liked to "seek good luck" since ancient times. 18 is also a popular number in daily life. 18 is "a must". In a materialistic society, how can you make money without working hard? Get rich! ?
