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."

At this moment, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, who had come to attend the Peach Banquet, told Yee Hwung Dah-dee that she knew someone who could handle him.
