Homonym: Diyu (Hell)
Diyu is a concept in Chinese mythology that refers to the underworld or hell. It is often depicted as a place where souls go after death to be judged for their actions during their lives. In Diyu, souls may face various punishments based on their deeds, with the aim of purification before reincarnation.
The structure of Diyu is typically described as having multiple levels or chambers, each representing different types of suffering. It is overseen by Yama, the King of Hell, who determines the fate of the souls. This belief reflects the importance of morality and justice in Chinese culture.
