According to Taoist classics such as Collection of Classic Works of the Jade Emperor in Shang Gao, the ontology of the Jade Emperor is transformed from the ancestral spirit of Sanqing, and it is homologous to Sanqing. Once incarnated as Pangu, the jade emperor's full name is also called "Tai Shang Huang Tian Kai's imperial calendar carries Tao Haotian's jade emperor's true body", and the title includes experience and merits.

In the mythological history of China, the name of Jade Emperor appeared relatively late, and it was originally an ancient god and a god of science. In the Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong added a title to the jade emperor of Shang Gao, saying that "the jade emperor of heaven and earth holds the emperor's calendar, which embodies the truth of heaven and the jade emperor". He is a very noble and special avenue saint and the leader of the Buddha. The jade emperor is in charge of the three realms, six roads and ten squares, and also in charge of the Buddhist immortals in the dharma world, managing the ups and downs of everything in the world, the appointment and removal of fruit.

Legend has it that his birthday is the ninth day of the first month of the summer calendar. In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Kui's Collection of Rites and Seas records: "The gods are born, and the righteous are also born. The Jade Emperor was born on the ninth day of the first month. The Yang number starts at one, rises at nine poles, and ends. " It means that "one" is the first number of Yang and nine is the pole of Yang, so it is considered as the birthday of the Jade Emperor.

Known as the "Three Treasures of Heaven in the Three Realms of Nothing Nature", it refers to the three realms of Jade Qing, Shangqing and Taiqing respected by Taoism, and also refers to the three gods living in the three realms, namely, the Jade Qing Holy Land, the Jade Chen Daojun Lingbao Tianzun in the land of Shang Muslims, and the moral Tianzun of the Taoist leader Taishang Laojun.
