"The Jade Emperor's full name is the Supreme Emperor of the Haotian Golden Palace. He is also known as the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Lord, the Jade Emperor of the Haotian Brilliant Palace, and the Jade Emperor of the Mysterious Sky Palace. He lives in the Jade Pure Palace."
The Jade Emperor was the most powerful god among the Han people, so the ceremony of worshipping Heaven Duke surpassed that of the Three Pure Ones and was more grand than that of ordinary gods. In addition, the Jade Emperor was a Taoist god, not the "Sakra" in Buddhism. The Yuhuang God: Full Name: Supreme Jade Emperor

The Heavenly Talisman Imperial Calendar of the True Body of the Golden Palace of Clouds, the Nine Dome Imperial Calendar of the Great Hall of the Golden Palace of Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord of the Golden Palace of Jade Emperor, the Mysterious Sky High God, or the Jade Emperor for short. They were respectfully called the Great Heavenly Emperor of Jade Emperor, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Golden Palace of Haotian, the Great Heavenly Emperor of Jade Emperor, and so on. They were commonly known as the Heavenly Duke (Ancestor of the Heavenly Duke), the Jade Emperor God, and the God of Heaven. They lived in the Jade Pure Palace. He was the greatest god in the Celestial Dynasty, the emperor of all gods.
The Dao was formless and formless, but it gave birth to all things in the world. The manifestation of Dao in people and all things was De. Therefore, all things respect Tao and value virtue. When the Tao is scattered, it becomes qi, and when it is gathered, it becomes spirit. Immortals were both the embodiment of Dao and the role model of attaining Dao. There were orders to hear the Tao, and there were levels to obtain the Tao. Immortals only had a deep understanding of the Tao, and there was no difference in rank and status. Their purpose was to help the world and save people. In Chinese culture, the Jade Emperor was regarded as the supreme ruler of the universe, the supreme ruler of the three worlds, the ten directions, the four lives, and the six realms. Because he had the divine power to command the nine heavens and enlist the four seas and five mountains, all the gods followed him around, just like the emperor and the ministers. He controlled the 36 Heavens and the 72 Earths. He was in charge of all the gods, immortals, Buddhas, saints, the human world, and the netherworld. [1]
The name " Jade Emperor God " appeared a little later than Taishang Laojun. The earliest appearance should have been after the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the High Jade Emperor's Collection of Classics: The prince of the Kingdom of Light and Miaole gave up his throne and learned to cultivate in Mount Xiangyan of the Jin Dynasty. He assisted the country and saved the people, and saved all living beings. After hundreds of millions of tribulations, he finally became the Jade Emperor, the Lord of the Heavens, and the Lord of the Heavens.
The Jade Emperor God is also known as the Haotian God. His full name is "The Supreme Jade Emperor of the Haotian Golden Watchtower."
Jade Emperor
God of Nature, the True Jade Emperor."In Chinese culture, it was also known as the Emperor and Taiyi.
In Chinese culture, the word "God" referred to the Jade Emperor God and Haotian God in the sky, but generally did not refer to the "Five Gods", such as:
"The Book of Songs":"The mighty Jiang Yuan, her virtue does not return, God is her reliance, no disaster harmless."
"Shang Shu·Zhou Shu":"Only God, set his life in King Wen."
The Book of Rites·Wang Zhi: "The Son of Heaven will come out, similar to God."
"Book of Rites·Li Yun":"To serve ghosts and gods, all follow their new moon."
Mencius: "Even if there are evil people, if they fast and bathe, they can sacrifice to God."
Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "God, because the two of us have not lost our faith in our lives, we have been ordered to be gods."
The Legend of Sansui Pingyao: " I often hear that God is selfless, but I don't believe that there is a secret word."
" Yuewei Cottage Notes ":" God will add a god with a real person's talisman "," God loves you "," If you are innocent, heaven and earth will not be nurtured, and God will not punish you ";;;
"Peach Blossom Fan":"Today, by the order of God, I am conferred the title of Flying Messenger and will take up my post."
In Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor was called the "High Heavenly Saint, the Great Benevolent Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerate, the High God."
According to the records in the Jade Emperor's Collection, the Jade Emperor's father was King Jingde, and his mother was Baoyue Guang. The Jade Emperor's origins were as follows:
A long time ago, there was a country called Guangyan Miaole. King Jingde and Queen Baoyueguang were old and childless, so they ordered Taoist priests to pray.
Jade Emperor
He dreamed that Taishang Daolord carried a baby and gave it to the queen. After waking up from the dream, she became pregnant. She was born in the palace at noon on the ninth day of the first month of the year of Bingwu.
When the prince grew up, he inherited the throne. Soon after, he left the country and went to Mount Xiangyan in Puming to cultivate Taoism. He succeeded in transcending the world. After 3,000 tribulations, he became a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. After another 100,000 tribulations, he became the God of Heavenly Dao. After another hundred million tribulations, he finally became the common ruler of the universe, the Jade Emperor.
In the Jin Dynasty's Ge Hong's Pillow Book, it was recorded: Before the chaos was created, there was the essence of heaven and earth, known as the Heavenly King of the Origin (namely the Heavenly Lord of the Origin, Pangu), who swam in it. After the second ceremony, the original Heavenly King lived in the center of the sky, sucking the weather and drinking the spring water. After several calamities, he communicated with the Jade Maiden of Taiyuan and formed a spirit. He gave birth to thirteen emperors and ruled for 36,000 years. He was recorded as the Great Emperor of Fusang and the Prince of the East (known as Yuanyang Father). She also gave birth to the Nine Light Mystic Girl, known as the Queen Mother of Taizhen.
Note:
1. The Taiyuan Holy Mother, also known as the Taiyuan Jade Maiden, was the mother of the Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother.
2. The Queen Mother of Taizhen was the Queen Mother of the West, commonly known as the Queen Mother.
3. Lady Taizhen was the youngest daughter of the Queen Mother of the West. Her name was Wan, and her name was Luo Fu. Her husband was King Taizhen of Xuandu.
The name of the Queen Mother of the West was first seen in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The west pointed to the direction, and the Queen Mother was the name of the god. According to the Records of Immortals, the "Queen Mother of the West" was the Golden Mother of the Nine Spirits of the Turtle Mountain, also known as the Golden Mother of the Great Void Nine-Light Turtle Platform. It was born from the innate Xihua Qi. The Queen Mother of the West, commonly known as the Queen Mother, was the head of all female immortals and was in charge of Kunlun Immortal Island. In the heavens, the earth, the three worlds, and the ten directions, women who achieved immortality were all under the jurisdiction of the Queen Mother of the West. She was a Perfected Golden Immortal, and her body and spirit were already exquisite. She was not bound by life and death, and she could gather and disperse her spirit at will. The Jade Emperor was the leader of the immortals and the master of the gods.
In fact, in the orthodox Taoist god system, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West did not have a husband-wife relationship. The Queen Mother of the West was originally a mother god condensed from innate Yin Qi. She was the head of all female immortals in the Heavenly Palace. She was the most wonderful of Xihua and the most respected of Dongyin. She also controlled the Kunlun Immortal Mountain. The leader of the male immortals condensed from innate Yang qi was the East Prince, who controlled Penglai Immortal Island. The Jade Emperor was the leader of the immortals and the master of the three worlds. The Queen Mother of the West appeared earlier than the Jade Emperor, so they were not originally husband and wife.
The story of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West as husband and wife only appeared in novels and folklore. In these legends, the Queen Mother of the West was the real ruler of the Heaven Realm. He had seven daughters with the Jade Emperor. In the Biography of Immortals, Records of Immortals in Yong City, and Records of True Immortals in the Past, it was recorded that the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West had twenty-four daughters, of which five had clear identities.
According to the records in the first volume of Xu Dao's Tongjian of Immortals in Past Dynasties (also known as the Three Religious Records of the Same Origin), which was written in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties: To Haotian, there is a country called Guangyan Miaole Country. The king of this country is called Jingde Shi Wang, and his wife is the descendant of Baoyue Guang Wang. She only treats the people with kindness and conceit. She never slackens when she travels the Five Ridges, so that the people are safe and the natural resources are abundant. It's not enough to be old and have no children. As soon as Erzhen entered his territory, he knew that he was sincere and devoted to Taoism. Brave Elder Huang (also known as Middle Yellow, one of the five elders at the beginning of the world) said: This is the cause. Yuan Shi said: If the pure and true qi is cast into the body of the holy virtue and benevolence, and the child is pregnant, the son of the gods will be born, and it will be determined to be the sage of the three talents. What does the emperor really think? Elder Huang nodded and blew on the jade ruyi, which was a spiritual treasure from beyond the heavens, and turned into a baby. At this time, the king of Jingde suddenly saw auspicious light shining on the palace in his bedroom, making it look like a hundred treasures. There were many guards of honor, guarding a nine-dragon chariot, floating in the air, sitting in the middle of the two-winged people are casting magic images, the head of the high true holding a child with a face garden ears big, clear eyebrows, beautiful eyes, all over the body covered with light. The king and queen were overjoyed and bowed respectfully. Erzhen said: I am stupid and have no children. I hope you can let me have this child as your son. Huang Lao said: This child's root is extraordinary, will prove the highest grade, you raise him well. The king came forward to worship and receive him. Erzhen took out the treasure chair and handed it to him. The king came to receive it with both hands. It was as heavy as a mountain. He struggled and sweated all over. Suddenly he realized that it was a dream. He called the queen to tell him. What he saw was the same. From then on, the king's spirit grew, and three years later, the queen gave birth to a wise prince. Since childhood, he left the country to cultivate Taoism. After 3,200 kalpas, he became a Golden Immortal and was called: Pure and quiet, naturally aware of the king's Tathagata. After another 100,000 kalpas, he finally proved that he was the Jade Emperor and the God of Heaven.

According to the Ming Dynasty's block-printed version of "Search for Gods"(written by Gan Bao, a historian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty):"According to the Jade Emperor
Jade Emperor
According to the records of the Holy Chronicles, there was a country named Guangyan Magic in the past, and its king was named Jingde. At that time, the king had a descendant named Bao Moonlight. The king had no heir, so he often thought about it every day. I am now old and have no prince. If I die, who will entrust the nine temples of the country to? Thinking of this, he immediately issued an edict to all Taoist priests, hung various covers in various palaces according to various schools of education, made a clean and solemn display, provided for the implementation of the six seasons, and prayed for the true sage. It has been half a year, and I have not given up my original intention. Suddenly one night, Empress Baoyue dreamed of Taishang Daojun, who was pure and pure with all kinds of pure gold and jade. He drove a five-color dragon carriage, holding a big flag and a big shadow, and the colorful clouds covered the sky. Taishang Daojun sat in a dragon carriage, holding a baby in his arms. The pores on his body emitted ten billion rays of light. The palaces were painted with the color of hundreds of treasures. He came from the sky with a wooden bridge in front of the temple. At this time, the Empress was delighted and respectfully received the gift. She knelt down in front of the road and said, You said that now the king has no heir, I hope this son for the country's Lord Fu, I hope to be merciful and sympathetic to listen to the approval. At that time, Dao Jun replied to the queen: I would like to give you a special gift. The queen thanked him politely. Dao Jun came after him and took him back. After the queen recovered, she woke up from her dream and was pregnant for a year. She was born in the palace at noon on the ninth day of the first month of the year of Bingwu. When he was born, his body was full of treasure and light, filling the whole country. His appearance was wonderful and beautiful, and all the people who saw it praised him.

Legendary Triple Fold
According to one of the Four Great Classics of China, Journey to the West: "When the Ancestral Buddha heard this, he chuckled coldly and said,"" That fellow of yours is a monkey that turned into a spirit. How dare he deceive his heart and want to snatch the position of the Jade Emperor God? He had cultivated since he was young and had gone through 1750 calamities. Each tribulation lasts 129,600 years. How many years would it take for him to enjoy this Boundless Great Dao? How could you, a beast who had just become a human, say such big words! Not a son, not a son! I'll ruin your life! Converting as soon as possible, don't talk nonsense! But I'm afraid that you'll be killed in an instant. It's a pity that you're the same!'”"Old Lord used the Vajra Set to capture me and bring me up. He was tied up to see the Jade Emperor Zhang Dadi. Cao Guan tortured him to prove that he was guilty.”You can see that the Jade Emperor's surname is Zhang.
This theory was widely accepted by the people. For example, in the New Rap and Singing Complete Biography of the Lotus Lamp Huashan Saving Mother and the Complete Duan of the New Erlang Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother, it was said that the Jade Emperor's sister or daughter was called Zhang Xiangu or Zhang Sanjie "Zhang Yuntai", and the legend of the Jade Emperor's surname Zhang was preserved. Changsha's Huagu opera has the Second Sister Zhang, who is the second daughter of the Jade Emperor. Hunan Huagu opera and Fujian Puxian opera both had the story of Zhang Sanjie descending to the mortal world. Yang opera and Yue opera also had the story of Zhang Sanjie descending to the mortal world. Zhang Sanjie was the third daughter of the Jade Emperor. The Northeast Two-people Zhuan, Huangmei opera, Puxian opera, Hakka opera, Liuqin opera, Hunan Huagu opera, and Qitai Yangge all had the play of Zhang Sijie's Descent to the World. Cui Qingyuan, the "opera god" of Yihuang County (still worshipped in the temple), was the son of Cui Wenrui and Zhang Sijie (the daughter of the Jade Emperor). Zhang Sijie was the fourth daughter of the Jade Emperor. Zhang Sijie also had a general opera, Hongshan opera, Zhang Sijie made a scene in Wenyang County, and Zhang Sijie made a scene in Tokyo. Zhang Sijie was from Shizhou Wenquan County in Yuan Dynasty and the daughter of a hunter. He once led the warriors to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty, often for thirteen years. Later, he failed and was killed by the Yuan army in the current Xiaoyi City. After Zhang Sijie's death, the people missed her and made up many stories about her. In the story, Zhang Sijie became the daughter of the Jade Emperor, and Zhang Sijie was rumored to be an intangible cultural heritage of Lvliang City. Liu Qin opera, elbow drum play has "Zhang Wujie descended to the world," Zhang Wujie is the fifth daughter of the Jade Emperor. Hunan's Huagu opera also had the Sixth Sister Zhang, the sixth daughter of the Jade Emperor. Zhang Qijie is also a story in the Northern Shaanxi storytelling, and the Chu opera in Hubei Province is also a story of Zhang Qijie. In Huangmei opera, there is Zhang Qijie's Falling to the Mortal, also known as the Goddess, and in Henan opera, Zhang Qijie's Coming to the Mortal, Zhang Qijie is the seventh daughter of the Jade Emperor. In all the folk dramas about the Jade Emperor's sister or daughter descending to the mortal world, without exception, the surname Zhang was the most common surname of the Jade Emperor [11].

According to the Tang Dynasty, Duan Chengshi's Youyang Za Zu records: "Tianweng's surname is Zhang Jian, and his name is Ci Ke. He's from Yuyang. When he was young, he was unruly and unrestrained. He often caught a white sparrow in his net and loved it very much. Dream day LiuWeng blame anger, often want to kill him, white sparrow always repay Fu Jian, Fu Jian set up a variety of places to wait for him, finally can not kill him. Tianweng then went down to watch, Fu Jian set up a grand reception, secretly rode Tianweng's chariot, rode the white dragon, shook the whip to heaven.

After Fu Jian arrived at the Xuan Palace, he changed the officials, blocked the north gate, granted the white sparrow the title of Shangqing Marquis, and changed the descendants of the white sparrow not to be born in the lower territory. Liu Weng lost his governance and wandered around the five mountains to cause disasters. Fu Jian was very worried about this matter and appointed Liu Weng as the prefect of Taishan, in charge of life and death records.”
