Ghost king, day tour, night tour, impermanence, bull head, horse face, leopard tail, bird's beak, fish gills, wasp - the ten underworld commanders in the mythology of Chinese underworld, they can do their best, each lead their soldiers, punish their evil, and repay their merits, no matter how great the ability of the ghosts who do evil is, even if they can go to the sky and enter the earth, they cannot escape their palms.

1. Ghost King

The word "king" in "Ghost King Dashuai" does not represent the supreme identity, the statue of the ghost king has a bare upper body, red hair and fangs, holding a demon bell, hideous and vicious, and the whole looks like a yaksha ghost. He is in the company of black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, and his status is naturally not too high, but because he has the word "king", his status should be higher than that of ordinary ghosts, and he is about a leader like the king of the mountain. "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" volume 6 "Examination Cheating Division" introduces a ghost king in charge of the examination fraud division. Two large stone tablets were erected under his government office, which were respectively engraved with "filial piety (悌) faithfulness" and "courtesy, righteousness and honesty". This ghost king is called the "Ghost King with a Void Belly", and he looks like "curly hair and a mackerel, like a person for hundreds of years, and his nostrils are flirtatious, his lips are tilted, and he does not accept his teeth." From a master bookkeeper, the head of the tiger is human. More than ten are in the ranks, half-vicious like mountain spirits." Although this ghost king advertises "filial piety and loyalty, courtesy, righteousness and shame", he is actually an insatiable, cruel and tyrannical guy. He made it a "common practice" for his subordinates to cut off a piece of hip (the flesh on the thigh) when they visited him, whether guilty or not. But "those who are rich in bribes can be redeemed" - as long as the silver is given more, the pain of cutting the flesh can be avoided. The ghost king here is completely a corrupt official. There are also many names for ghost kings. According to the "Dizo Bodhisattva Sutra", the great ghost kings in Hell and Yan Futi (the world inhabited by human beings in the Southern Ganbu Continent) alone are: Immeasurable Ghost King, Vicious Ghost King, Great Ghost King, White Tiger Ghost King, Blood Tiger Ghost King, Red Tiger Ghost King, Scattered Ghost King, Flying Ghost King, Thunder Light Ghost King, Wolf Tooth Ghost King, Thousand-Eyed Ghost King, Beast Ghost King, Negative Stone Ghost King, Main Consumption Ghost King, Main Disaster Ghost King, Staple Food Ghost King, Main Wealth Ghost King, Main Animal Ghost King, Main Poultry Ghost King, Main Beast Ghost King,

The main ghost king, the main birth ghost king, the main life ghost king, the main disease ghost king, the main danger ghost king, the three-eyed ghost king, the four-eyed ghost king, the five-eyed ghost king, the Qili lost king, the great Qili lost king, the Qili fork king, the Great Qili fork king, the Anaza king, the Great Anaza king, etc., and the small ghost kings are thousands.

2. Day trips

Day Tour, also known as Day Tour. In Chinese folk beliefs, the god who is responsible for parading around during the day and monitoring the good and evil in the world is also known as the daily parade. In the beginning, the god of the sun was considered to be a roaming god, and if he offended the god of the sun, it would invite misfortune. The third fold of Wang Ye's "Peach Blossom Girl" miscellaneous drama of the Yuan Dynasty: "When Yi went out today, he was meeting the god of the sun, so he would not die, but he would also go into battle with injuries." In "Jade Calendar to Treasure Banknotes", the god of day travel is "day tour patrol", dressed as a prison official, with his hair scattered, holding a wooden card, and writing the word "day patrol" on it.

3. Night tour

In the southern wilderness, there are sixteen gods, all of them have small cheeks and red shoulders, arm in arm, to keep vigil for the Yellow Emperor. Now the term "nocturnal wanderer" is used as a metaphor for a person who wanders out late at night. Contrary to the day wandering gods, the night wandering gods are fierce gods who wander around at night, and they take turns on duty with the day wandering gods day and night, specifically looking for trouble, and often making small reports to their bosses, like a group of "little spies in the underworld" who specialize in harming the people. As early as in ancient times, China's folk legend has a night wandering god, "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Overseas South Classic" contains: "There are two eight gods, with arms, for the emperor to be in this field at night." The "Twenty-Eight" god is the god of night travel, Guo Pu said: "See you (now) in the day and night." Yang Shen added: "Nanzhong Yi Fang may have, night travel, the local people call it the night wandering god, and it is not strange." ”

4. Impermanence

Black and white impermanence ghosts, also known as impermanence. In the old superstitions, impermanence was said to be the messenger of death who hooked the soul of the living, detained the soul, and struck the wicked when he died, and it was the yin that came to pick up the dead between yin and yang. It is divided into black and white impermanence, and the folk legend is that those who meet black are fierce, and those who meet white are happy. "Beiping Customs and Customs": "At the dawn of New Year's Day, take Pa friends to the god of joy, saying that if you meet a happy god, you can be a year old, and you can meet the white impermanence, beg for an inch from it, and you will have a great source of wealth." ”

5. Bull head

The bull's head comes from Buddhism. The bull's head is also called Apang, its shape is the bull's head human body, holding a steel fork, and the power can row the mountain. According to the "Iron City Mud Plough Sutra", when Ah Pang was a man, because he was not filial to his parents, he became a bull-headed human body in the underworld after his death, serving as a patrol and a servant to search for escaped sinners. There is information that Buddhism originally only had ox heads, and when it was introduced to China, it was equipped with horse noodles because the folk were most symmetrical and in pairs. However, there is also information that the horse face is also called the horse face rakshasa and also comes from Buddhism. However, in ancient and modern sources, there is no claim that a horse face is used as an underworld servant in Hindu mythology. In Tantra, there is the image of "King Ming with a Horse Face", but it is a great god in Tantric Buddhism, and according to legend, he is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is far from the underworld. After Buddhism was introduced to China, the theory of bull head and horse face spread among the people, was absorbed by Taoism, and served as the minions of the king of Yama and the judges. Nowadays, it is rare to see bull heads and horse noodles in Buddhist temples, but it is common in Yama Temple.

The bull's head comes from Buddhism. The bull's head is also called Apang, its shape is the bull's head human body, holding a steel fork, and the power can row the mountain.

7. Leopard tail

In folklore, the leopard's tail is the commander who manages the spirits of the beasts, and is called the "four yin commanders" along with the beak, gills and wasps (the "four yin commanders" manage the spirits of animals such as beasts on the road, birds in the sky, fish in the water, and insects on the ground). This is just a folk coined and apocryphal statement. The leopard tail is the name of the virtual god of the year in the ancient Chinese magic, and it is a fierce god who is the so-called elephant of the tiger and the pioneer general, and is often opposite to the god of the year. The "Book of Discipline Defense" quoted the "Qiankun Treasure Book" as saying: "The leopard tail is ,...... In the area where they are located, they shall not marry, or take slaves or maidservants, or enter into six animals, or build them. The offender destroys his property and damages his mouth. "The leopard's tail is the same as the fierce god hanger, the funeral door, etc., and the place where it is located should be avoided.

8. a bird's beak

In folklore, the beak of the bird is the commander who manages the spirits of birds and animals in the sky, and the beak, gills, and wasps are called the "four yin commanders", (the "four yin commanders" respectively manage the spirits of animals such as beasts on the road, birds in the sky, fish in the water, and insects on the ground).

9. Fish gills

In folklore, the gills are the ghosts that manage the fish and animal spirits in the water, and are called the "four yin commanders" together with the beak, gills and wasps, (the "four yin commanders" manage the spirits of beasts on the road, birds in the sky, fish in the water and insects on the ground).

10. Wasp

In folklore, the wasp is the ghost commander who manages the undead of insects and animals on the ground, and is called the "four yin commanders" together with the beak, gills and wasps.

Second, the origin of the top ten handsome:

Buddhism theorized that sentient beings (human beings and all living beings) are in a constant cycle in the world of life and death in the Three Realms (Desire, Desire, and Nothingness) and the Six Realms (Heaven, Man, Asura [Evil Spirit], Hell, Hungry Ghosts, and Animals). There are four forms of beings in the six realms:

1. Oviparous: such as chickens, peacocks, birds, etc.

2. Viviparity: such as humans, livestock, etc.

3. Wet birth (also known as karma): all kinds of insects, etc.

4. Rebirth: Those who have no support and appear through karma, such as the gods, hungry ghosts, and suffering in hell.

Therefore, in this life, we are human beings, and in the next life we may be reborn as horses, cows, sheep, and other animals, so the Buddha and Bodhisattva have to exhaust the six realms of sentient beings. The ten yin handsomes deliberately constructed by people show that the legal net of the ghost mansion is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and it also shows the weakness and patheticness of human beings.
