The Tenth Hall is ruled by Choan-Lun-Wang. He governs the Eastern World. In front of the Hall, there are bridges of gold, silver, gems, stones, wood & other fragile material, to afford means of transit for the departed spirit into the other world. There is an old woman called Mang-Po, who gives to the spirit in course of transition the cup of oblivion, by which he is made to forget the events of his previous state and pass on in the line of transmigration -- some to a higher & some to a lower stage in the scale of being.
