Why is Fengdu County in Chongqing called a ghost town?

When the First Emperor came out, the prefectures and counties moved. The county system is an indispensable reference point in the process of studying history and culture. Under such administrative characteristics, a very distinctive county town has been formed in China. There is such a county among them. When it comes to its name, no one knows it, but when it comes to the history of this county, it really makes many people feel scared. It is said that this county town was built by the King of Hell, and even the buildings in the city are exactly the same as our Palace of the King of Hell. What is going on? Let’s take a look.

In the pre-Qin period, there was a place called Ba Country in China. In this country, there was a small village named Zhidi. Later, after Qin Shihuang unified China, in order to facilitate management, Zhidi was changed to Zhixian, and this county officially appeared on the historical stage as an administrative unit. After the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, Zhi County continued to develop and grow, and changed its name frequently. Finally, it became Pingdu County. In 618 AD, on the basis of the original Pingdu County, it was once again divided into Linjiang County and Fengdu County. County, Fengdu County, is rich in products and is the capital of the world. I think this should be the best county in China with its name! But the legends about this county scare many people to death.

A long time ago, Yin Changsheng and Wang Fangping practiced immortality in Fengdu, that is, Fengdu. Later, Wang Fangping, one of these two people, served as the King of Yama in Journey to the West, and became Yama. Before becoming the king, Wang Fangping ordered his men to rebuild Fengdu County as a reward for this place. As a result, Fengdu became a territory built by King Yama. It also made this county with the best Chinese name known as a ghost town.

Because this place was cast in the shadow of a ghost town, some changes gradually occurred in the area. First of all, there are a lot of legends about ghosts and gods flowing out here, such as the passing of Yin soldiers and the impermanence of black and white, it is all trivial. As time passed, people even began to build ghost-like buildings in this county. The Temple of Hell, Naihe Bridge, Black and White Impermanence, etc. found in those myths and stories can all be found in this county, as if people Being in this county is like being in the Temple of Hell.

Over time, some modern mythological TV shows began to use Fengdu as the place where ghosts and gods live. People from all over the country even went here in person to look for traces of ghosts and gods. To this day, people still think of it. This mysterious county is full of curiosity. Countless people go to this county every year to find out what the ghost town is!
