Biography
In Chinese mythology, Yan Wang (閻王) is the King of Hell. Yan Wang oversees the underworld, presides over the 10 layers of Diyu (地獄) or Chinese-Buddhist Hell, and judges the fate of the dead. He’s one of the most feared gods in the belief system. Originally a Hindu god named Yamaraja who first appeared in the Rigveda, the myth of Yan Wang spread throughout East Asia during the advent of Buddhism. The myth of Yan Wang gradually evolved as the original myth mixed with local beliefs, a process known as religious syncretism. Yan Wang can be found in just about every culture where Buddhism is practiced and is an important figure in countries like Tibet, Vietnam, Korea and Japan. Though he maintained his role as Lord of the Dead in China, Yan Wang's appearance drastically changed to adapt to the dominant Han-Chinese culture.
