Who was the predecessor of the Jade Emperor?

The Jade Emperor is what we commonly call "God", and his official titles are "Heaven, Heaven, Golden Que, Supreme Nature, Milla to the True Jade Emperor God". People are not interested in this title, and the name is too long to remember. It is generally believed that the jade emperor's surname is Zhang, his name is natural, his word is benevolence, and his name is "hundred benevolence".

Legend has it that his birthday is on the ninth day of the first month. It is said that he was a cottage leader. As for how he later became the Jade Emperor, I will tell you later.

"Jade Emperor" is the Lord of heaven and earth and the God of the universe in Taoist myths and legends. The most familiar images are the men tortured by the Monkey King in The Journey to the West: the husband of the Queen Mother of the West, the uncle of Erlang God, and the father of the Seven Fairies. Actually, this is all made up. The real jade emperor is an ascetic monk, with no spouse and no children.

The Jade Emperor has unlimited power, ruling 36 celestial realms and 72 land realms. In charge of gods, immortals, saints, immortals and monsters, in charge of the world, the emperor and the underworld. Monkey Sun is a pheasant, and the Buddhist paradise Tathagata is under his jurisdiction.

It is not easy to say that the real jade emperor "survived" this step. Speaking of his life experience, he wants to return to the era when the goddess filled the sky.

A long time ago, there was a country called Yan Guang Miaole Country. The kings of this country, Jingde and Bao Yue Moonlight Queen, have never had children. Seeing that they are getting older, they are very anxious. The husband and wife believe in Shi Renzheng, and the devout Buddha will touch God. "There will be bread and children."

Many things happen. The sincerity of the king and queen touched Tai Shang Buddha and Tai Shang Lao Jun from the beginning. The two old people discussed: "These two people are worshipping God and loving the people by fasting and chanting Buddha. They can't let such a good person down. It's time to satisfy the wishes of the couple, so I decided to give them a baby.

So Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun found Nu Wa and asked him to "save the earth and be a man". Then the Buddha blew a breath at the clay figurine, and the villain grew up when he saw the wind and soon became a baby. The two elders gave the baby to Queen Bao Yue in their dreams. The next day, the husband and wife talked about last night's dream, but their dreams were exactly the same.

Since then, the Queen has been pregnant. One year after pregnancy, Queen Moon of Bao Yue gave birth to a boy, the later Jade Emperor, on the ninth day of the first month.

Many years later, the king and queen died, and the prince (the little boy at the beginning) inherited the throne. The new emperor was also a diligent and loving emperor who was willing to give everything for his country. The prince crossed 81 difficulties for practice and practiced 3,400 robberies for all beings. Finally, the prince died for his country and his soul flew for nine days. The gods elected him as the throne of the jade emperor. It seems that any happy life is hard to come by. If you don't experience wind and rain, you won't see the rainbow!

These are the past lives and afterlife of the official jade emperor. According to folklore, it is a little effortless for the Jade Emperor to sit in this position.

It is said that the jade emperor's predecessor was a cottage leader. When Jiang Ziya "destroyed Shang and prospered Zhou", Zhang Ziran, the leader of this stronghold, also made great contributions. Finally, when Jiang Ziya was deified, he was lucky enough to receive an invitation to attend the deification meeting.

Zhang Ziran came to the Heavenly Palace in high spirits. Looking around, the immortals in the Heavenly Palace are very busy and want to find a good official position. The former gentlemanly demeanor and sage-like style were left behind. Jiang Ziya's clothes were torn by them. Zhang Ziran is a little fairy, so she has to hide in the corner to watch.

When there were not many official posts left in Jiang Ziya's seal, Ziya kept an eye in her heart. Why did she work hard for half her life? Isn't it a senior official?

"I left the throne of the Jade Emperor, and I will do it myself." Jiang Ziya thinks so.

Seeing that God was coming to an end, all the immortals, big and small, were contentedly quiet. At this moment, Zhang Ziran can't sit still. He got up and asked Jiang Ziya, who will sit on the throne of the Jade Emperor? Jiang Ziya said casually: "Naturally, someone (You Ren) will sit." Jiang Ziya means, "Don't worry, someone will sit." But he didn't directly say that he wanted to sit down.

Who knows that Zhang Ziran said: "Naturally, there is benevolence." Isn't this to let me sit down?

My name is Zhang Ziran, and I have a kind word. I want to jump on the jade emperor's throne and sit firmly on it. Jiang Ziya blindsided at once.

Zhang Ziran explained the situation, Jiang Ziya squealed, who knew there was such a clever name.

"Say it out, the spilled water can't be broken in front of the gods, and it is looked down upon." Jiang Ziya was annoyed. He had to knock out his teeth and swallow them, calculating, but he didn't expect his seat to be robbed by a small stockade owner.

Without a throne, I can only live on the beam. Therefore, when building beams in the future, all beams will be affixed with red paper "Jiang Ziya retreats here".

Zhang Ziran became the God of heaven and earth, the God of the universe, which made Jiang Ziya hate his teeth itch, and cursed Zhang for not being an emperor in the future, so there was no emperor named Zhang in history.

Because Zhang is the noblest, because no one is nobler than the Jade Emperor. So when they meet, they greet each other. If one of them is surnamed Zhang, you don't have to say "your surname is Zhang", just say Zhang.

Of course, until now, no one can tell what happened to the Jade Emperor. After all, there are many versions of myths and legends.
