Show Notes
In Chinese folk religion and Taoism, the afterlife is not a single paradise or hell, but a vast, complex bureaucratic empire. This is the "Diyu" ， which translates to "Earth Prison" or "Underworld Court." Think of it not just as a place of punishment, but as a massive soul-processing center, a cosmic government office where every soul's life is judged, and its next destination is decided.
