The characteristics of humanization were examined by focusing on the convection of the Tai-Ping Guang-Ji, God, Ghost, Yecha(夜叉), Yaoguai(妖怪), and Jingguai(精怪). In particular, the beings of the different world was examined in terms of substantive, socio-cultural, humanistic, and secular. By the realization of the different world and the changes in relationships between human and the beings of the different world, the beings of the different world show humanized patterns.
