About
The Chinese word "地狱" (hell) is formed by combining the character "地" (earth) with "狱" (prison), creating a compound that conceptually represents an underground prison or realm of punishment, reflecting traditional beliefs about an afterlife domain beneath the earth where souls are tormented. This formation directly mirrors the conceptual understanding of hell in Chinese cultural and religious contexts.
