Statue
of
Hei Wu Chang
at Fengdu Ghost
City.
He is
a servant of the Underworld and is in charge of bringing the evil souls of
the wicked dead to the Underworld.
He is depicted
with a dark complexion, a short beard and moustache,
and holding a metal chain to bind
the souls of the wicked dead, while wearing a
long black robe and a long, brimless, black, toque-like cap, with the
text zheng zai zhuo ni (正在捉你), which can loosely be translated as
‘is to catch you’.
On his side is a plaque with his name in traditional Chinese, i.e. 黑無常.
