1. Reasons:

In Chinese myths and legends, after death, people have to pass through the Ghost Gate, through the Huangquan Road, between the Huangquan Road and the Hades, and the Lechuan River is divided. The water of the Lechuan River is blood-yellow, and it is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts that cannot be reincarnated, full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blows in the face. So you have to have a ferryman to get through.

2. Nai He Bridge (Meng Po Bridge):

In Chinese Taoism and Chinese folk mythology, the bridge is a place to give people reincarnation, where an elderly female deity named Meng Po is given a bowl of Meng Po soup to forget the memories of the past life and be reincarnated in the next life.

Note: Narakade has nothing to do with Buddhism, the Sanskrit word Narakade is a paraphrase: hell, and its transliteration is "Naraka", not "Naha".

3. Ferryman:

Those who help souls to go to the other side.

There are similar legends in both the East and the West. While Western non-Christian cultures have legends that the god of death or fallen angels are responsible, Chinese legends are influenced by Taoism and eventually evolve into the bridge of Naihe.
