In 19th-century Korea votive pictures of a tiger or a cock were put on the door or the wall of the imperial palace on the New year's Day. Pictures of a god and a goddess were also put on both the door posts or the entrance to the palace. These animals and gods were the ancestors of the emperor, whence the gardians of the palace. This custom was borrowed from China. In China there was more detailed systems of animals through which the souls of the dead were transmigrated. It was believed that the souls of the dead went into the wall and appeared out of it. People buried the dead body in the wall. The dead, like the living, come to life again on the New year's Day. The votive pictures of the New year's Day were the pictures of the ancestors of the emperor.

A man who has had a near-death experience tells us; he passed through a dark, long tunnel at the end of which a dim light was seen; before entering or leaving the tunnel he saw a river or Styx, a flower garden or a vast field, an old man standing there, and a young girl leading him (the man of near-death experience); he saw a sacred prostitute at the entrance of the tunnel; the old man gave him instruction to go back home or someone from behind called him to go home and get his work done. King Gilgamesh of the Sumero-Akkadian Epos passed through a pitch-dark, long tunnel to see Utnapishtim in order to get an eternal life; Utnapishtim persuaded him to go home though giving him a present of herbs; on his way home from Utnapistim's land a snake stole his herb and got an eternal life for itself. Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden after eating fruit given by the snake: from Eden a river streamed out from something like the grotto of Pan forking into four rivers; in the times of paganism Adam was Gilgamesh and Eve was a sacred prostitute and the god was Utnapishtim. A Chinese fisherman after sailing upstream found a tunnel at the source of the river in the forest of peach trees in full blossom; he walked into the tunnel and got out of it to find a utopia; an old man told him of the history of the utopia; the fishrman returned home never to come again and find it. Koga Saburo of Japan went through 73 subterranean tunnels and 72 countries; he saw many rivers, gardens, old men (a Buddhist statue), young girls and ancesters; eventually he appeared on the ground transformed into a snake.
