According to the legends of the Warring States Period, there were only three places where dead fools lived in ancient times.
First, the East: Mount Tai is the center of Yi people's development (Yin Shang belongs to this department) and is the highest. There are mountains such as Mount Tai and Haoli, which were the burial places at that time. Therefore, the ancient elegies (most likely the wailing of the push-pull hearse at first) include Fu Liang Yin, Tai Shan Yin and Hao Li. People are dying, as if a ghost had come to extract them. Therefore, the ancient music of the Han Dynasty said that "ghosts are urgent and people have to hesitate." Death is a ghost, buried underground, and ghosts are also underground, so it is very miserable and cannot be freed. Therefore, it is said that "the soul belongs to Taishan prison", which is the source of the word "hell".
2. West: The old courtyard or old well, in Jiangxian County, Shanxi Province today, is the burial place of Jin scholar-officials. The Yellow River Basin is yellow land, buried underground, and there is water underground, so it has the word "yellow"; Jiuyuan is also called Jiuquan. "Death" and "Jiuquan" are places where ghosts live.
Third, the south: in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, there was "Kuiyue" in ancient times, which is today's Fengjie in Sichuan. In ancient times, it was called "Guizhou" and "Zigui". Ghosts and ghosts are related to ghosts, so Du Feng, west of Fengjie and on the north bank of the Yangtze River, was later legendary as a haunted house. China is a multi-ethnic country with a vast territory and haunted houses. Of course, it can't be consistent. Because of its high culture and great influence, the legend of Taishan prison dead ghost has become a universal belief in the Western Han Dynasty.
