Jiang Ziya tried to seal himself as the Jade Emperor, but he was used. What is the origin of this legend?

These are folk stories, which are fabricated by people in memory of Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya is in charge of the list of gods, riding a whip. When he deified, he really wanted to keep the jade emperor's seat for himself. Some people are anxious to ask him who will be the jade emperor. Jiang Ziya was embarrassed to say that he was himself, so he replied that someone was sitting and someone was sitting. As a result, a man named Zhang You thought that Jiang Ziya was talking about himself, and he had the cheek to sit on the jade emperor's seat, making Jiang Ziya speechless.

Jiang Ziya cultivated immortality, but the original Buddha said that he had no immortal life. Jiang Ziya was even more unconvinced and wanted to sit on the jade emperor. Originally, the deified task was to give the original Buddha, but in order to experience Jiang Ziya, the original Buddha gave Jiang Ziya the list of gods, and Jiang Ziya came to Chao Ge with it. In Chao Ge, he helped his friend Song Yi build a house and collected a little devil to help him build an altar. In this way, when future generations build new houses, they will write on the roof that Jiang Taigong is here, the gods are avoiding or Jiang Taigong is here, and everything will be forgiven.

When Jiang Taigong was deified, he arranged all the good seats, so that he finally lost his place. At the beginning, the Buddha gave him a whip. God's whip is used to whip unruly gods. With the whip, Jiang Ziya will be above other gods, and Jiang Ziya will be his own beam god leisurely. Jiang Ziya has been busy for most of his life, and now it's time to rest, so Jiang Ziya doesn't care that Zhang You robbed him of his jade emperor position.

These are folk stories, and there is no definite answer. The list of gods is a fairy tale. In memory of Jiang Ziya, people will deliberately optimize his image. Because they knew that the Jade Emperor was someone else, they came up with the plot that the Jade Emperor was Jiang Ziya. It's just that people think that Jiang Ziya can be on an equal footing with the Jade Emperor.
