underworld (doctrinal concept) (doctrinal concepts, religious concepts, ... Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A deep pit or distant land located under the earth or in a dark precinct where humans and other creatures exist after earthly death, common to many mythologies. The nature of the place varies from a dreary land where the dead are gathered and from which only a few exceptional human heroes are permitted to enter heaven, to a terrible precinct where sinners pay for misdeeds. In many religions, it is from the underworld that dreams, ghosts, and demons originate.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 在地面之下的深淵、遙遠的土地，或是黑暗的境域，在許多神話的普遍概念中，人類和其他生物在人間死亡之後便存在於該處。這個地方所代表的本質各異，從一個充滿亡者、只有少數出類拔萃的人類英雄才能進入天堂的陰森沈鬱之地，到犯罪者要為其所犯下的罪行付出代價的一個恐怖境域皆有。在許多宗教之中，夢境、鬼魂及惡魔都源於陰間。 |
