It is enshrined in mausoleums closely related to the underworld, and this belief has spread not only to the Chinese but also to Formosa and Southeast Asia. Mujo, who often exists as a pair of "black and white," wears mysterious high hats and hangs long tongues, and is rooted among the Chinese people with strong visual images. However, on the other hand, there has not been enough objective consideration of Mujo belief, such as when, where, and how Mujo was born, and why people worship the god of death.
