It's totally fucked up. The Chinese have some some really strange moral code. From what I've been able to decipher, this Courts of Hell derive from a combination of Taoist and Buddhist teaching.
This list of things that would get you punished was such that there are very few who wouldn't have some sort of terrible punishment done to them.
At the end of the ordeals you are given a Tea of Forgetfulness by this really kind old Auntie. Then you forget your last life and the ordeal and go onto your next incarnation.
