摘　　要：“阎罗王”本为婆罗门教原始冥神信仰,佛教的地狱观里继承了这位冥神。“阎罗王”初至中土,常被比附于传统民间信仰的“泰山府君”。自北朝至隋唐,在社会经济基础及民众思想水平不断演替的情况下,威严而又近似无情的“泰山府君”被更鲜活生动且富有人情味的“阎罗王”所替代,直至成为“阎罗王”的下属。“Yama” was originally a Brahmin belief in a primitive underworld deity, which was inherited from the Buddhist view of hell. When “Yama” first arrived in China, it was often compared to the traditional folk belief in “Tai Shan Fu Jun”. From the Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the majestic and almost ruthless “Tai Shan Fu Jun” was replaced by the more vivid and humane “Yan Luo Wang”, until it became the subordinates of “The King of Hell”.
