Luo Feng (English spelling)

Japanese: 羅鄷 - らほう(英語表記)luó fēng
Luo Feng (English spelling)
One of the underworlds and hells in Chinese Taoism and folk beliefs. It is generally called Jidu. It is also called Luodu. The theory that the dead go to Luodu first after death began to appear mainly in Taoist documents from the Two Jin dynasties, and Tao Hongjing's "Shinko" describes its geographical and bureaucratic organization in detail. These documents from the Six Dynasties state that it is located in a mythical place at the northernmost edge of the world, but from around the Northern Song dynasty, the belief that Jidu Hell was located on Mount Pingdu in Zhongzhou, Sichuan Province spread, and until recently, religious activities that mixed Taoism and folk beliefs were carried out there.

Japanese:
中国の道教,民間信仰における冥界,地獄の一つ。一般には鄷都という。また羅鄷都とも呼ぶ。死者がその死後まず羅鄷に行くという説は両晋のころより,主として道教文献に見えはじめ,陶弘景の《真誥(しんこう)》がその地理的・官僚的組織を詳細に記述する。これら六朝の文献では世界の北方の果ての神話的な場所に位置するとしているのであるが,北宋ごろより四川省忠州の平都山に鄷都地獄があるとする信仰が広まり,最近まで道教と民間信仰とが混交した宗教活動がその地で行われていた。
