Heibai Wuchang: The Chinese Underworld Guards
These reapers are worshipped by millions and are considered an essential part of the Chinese religion.
Heibai Wuchang, the black guard and white guard of the Chinese underworld, is said to haunt the deathbed to guide the deceased’s soul to the realm of the dead.
In Chinese mythology, a legend is as old as the dynasties themselves.
Even when Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor, people believed strongly in the afterlife. And as in other cultures, they created the figure of a “guide” to assist them on the journey to reincarnation.
To this day, these reapers are worshipped by millions and are considered an essential part of the Chinese religion.
