King Chujiang
The second court in the Ten Kings tradition.
The second hearing
King Chujiang occupies the second court in this atlas's sequence. Popular morality-book accounts associate his jurisdiction with a major hell and subsidiary places of suffering, sometimes emphasizing cold. They connect the punishments with acts of violence and harm. Exact names and assignments depend on the edition and religious setting.
An official in a changing system
Temple images usually present a solemn judge or ruler in formal robes rather than one universally prescribed portrait. The wider Ten Kings system developed through Chinese Buddhist texts and commemorative rites for the dead, then acquired further detail in later narratives. The account here summarizes that collected tradition; it does not claim that every Buddhist scripture prescribes this court's full schedule. Reading Chujiang alongside the Ten Kings overview helps distinguish the older ritual sequence from the expanded lists of punishments in popular literature.
