China has been talking about "eighteen layers of hell" since ancient times, although we do not advocate feudal superstition, but it is also very interesting to understand what the ancients said, anyway, after reading it, I think that really what reason you have to get to hell, there is more than one layer.
It is said that Yama was in charge of hell, and he had eighteen judges in charge of each floor. Generally speaking, those who are unkind and unjust in the human world and do all kinds of bad deeds are often cursed to go down to the "eighteen-layer hell" after death, but in fact, the "eighteen-layer hell" that people call it is not a total of eighteen floors like the imaginary buildings, and those ghosts who go to hell are actually divided according to the time, degree and size of the area, and according to these standards, they are divided into eighteen levels of punishment, and each layer is twenty times more bitter than the previous layer, doubling their life expectancy, so that these ghosts are tortured in hell.
