In classical documents such as "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", the existence of ghost kings is mentioned.

It is the messenger of death that seduces the soul of the living, detains the soul, and strikes the wicked when he dies. Their images are divided into black and white, and folklore says that those who meet black are murderous, and those who meet white are happy.
"Bull head" and "horse face" are also one of the more well-known messengers of the underworld. The bull's head is also called Apang, its shape is the bull's head human body, holding a steel fork, and the power can row the mountain. When Ah Pang was a human being, because he was not filial to his parents, he became a bull-headed human body in the underworld after his death, serving as a patrol and a servant to search for escaped sinners. Ma Mian is also a famous soul messenger in Hades, and Ma Mian is also known as Ma Mian Rakshasa.
