Why did you call Rebecca? What's the difference between Rebecca and the Ghost King?

In the traditional culture of China, the King of Yan and the King of Ghosts are both gods in charge of death and ghosts, but their responsibilities and images are different.

Rebecca is the god in charge of hell in Taoist mythology, also known as "Yan Luowang", "King of Hades" and "Emperor Yamaraja". He is the guardian of hell. Yan's image is usually a male god wearing a red robe, an official hat and a life and death book, representing justice, fairness and authority. Yan's duty is to judge the crimes of the deceased, decide whether the deceased will stay or not, and manage all kinds of affairs in hell.

The ghost king is the leader of ghosts in folk beliefs, also known as "ghost emperor", "ghost ancestor" and "Gui Mu", and is the god in charge of ghosts. The image of the ghost king is usually a male god in white, wearing a golden crown and holding a sword, representing justice, wisdom and courage. The duty of the ghost king is to manage ghosts and guide them to the right path.

Therefore, although the King of Yan and the King of Ghosts are both gods in charge of death and ghosts, their responsibilities and images are different.
