According to ideas from Taoism, Buddhism and traditional Chinese folk religion, Diyu is a purgatory that serves to punish and renew spirits in preparation for reincarnation into their next life.
Eighteen Levels of Hell:
The concept of the eighteen hells started in the Tang Dynasty. The Buddhist text Wen Diyu Jing mentioned 134 worlds of hell, but was simplified to eighteen levels for convenience. The following is a list of common punishments and tortures in the eighteen levels of hell.
Process:
1. First you need to go into the Hell's door.
2. Next the deceased people will be judged by the King in the Hell in order to determine which levels they need to go through, as well as which levels they will be given exemptions.
3. This is the punishment, in the different levels, in the Hell as we see in the picture. This process is the way they deep fry the deceased people. On the left hand side, you will see how they try to crunch the deceased people.
4. For those who like to tell lies before they passed away, this is the punishment for them; pulling out their tongue.
5. For those who are jealous and bad-hearted in the sense of treating their family friends, this is the level where their eyes and heart will be taken out.
6. The next picture shows the punishment for those who did a crime or something terrible before they died.
7. This is the tool which is used to crunch soya bean into liquid. This now crunches the human head into liquid blood.
8. This is the outcome after the crunch.
9. This is the tenth level in the hell in which the judge will determine the deceased people. They are either reborn as a human in their next life or they become an animal.
10. This is the Ah Ma. It’s very well-known in the Hell. Her duty is to just give the deceased people one bowl of soup to the deceased people and then they will completely forget their past life.
