Unveiling The Tapestry Of The Chinese Afterlife
Chinese mythology paints a vibrant and intricate picture of the afterlife, with deities like Yanluo Wang, Zhenwu, and Doumu presiding over the realm of the dead. Spirits, both benevolent and malevolent, interact with the living, as seen in the feared Jiangshi and the enigmatic Mao GUI.
