In myths and legends, who is stronger, Wei Zi or Zhenwu Emperor?

Both of them belong to the Heavenly Emperor in China's Taoist myth system, but who is better, whether in status or strength, is naturally better than Wei Zi.

Wei Zi and Zhenwu Wei Zi Emperor are gods in our Han folk beliefs. He is one of the four emperors of Taoism, and he is the person who helped the Jade Emperor to take charge of heaven. Of course, his position is only below that of the Jade Emperor. Wei Zi, also known as Ziweixing, belongs to the place where the emperor lived in the constellation, so the Forbidden City is called the mortal palace for a reason.

Moreover, Ziweixing is a constellation located in the last center of the sky, and it never moves, and its position is also the highest constellation, so it is extremely noble, and it is called "the Lord of the stars, the imperial clan of Vientiane". Wei Zi occupies an important position in folk beliefs, especially in the Song Dynasty, people often worship Wei Zi and the Jade Emperor together.

Zhenwu Emperor is also called Xuanwu Emperor, which is the full name of Zhenwu Demon Emperor. He is also a god in China Han myths and legends. At present, the immortal worshiped in Wudang Mountain, Hubei Province, China is Zhenwu Emperor. In Taoist classics, it is also called Zhenwu Emperor as "Zhenwuling should help the holy emperor".

Zhenwu Emperor had a great influence among the people in our country, especially after the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, Zhenwu Emperor is a descendant of Pangu, the great god who created the world. It is said that he was also the father of Emperor Yanhuang, who was reincarnated as the dragon of Fuxi and China. Zhenwu Emperor is one of the four saints in the Arctic. He is a subordinate of Wei Zi Emperor in the Arctic. He was appointed by the Jade Emperor to guard the north.

Who is better? The status of these two people in the Taoist immortal system has been introduced earlier. In fact, it is obvious that Zhenwu Emperor can't compare with Wei Zi Emperor. Let's sum up:

1. From the origin, the Arctic Emperor is the master of all the stars. Zhenwu started from Xuanwu Seven Nights, and in the early days it was the four saints in front of the Arctic Emperor's Temple, so Wei Zidi was in charge of Zhenwu;

2. From the title, Zuo Tiangang, the general of the right wall of the Arctic, has not left the category of Wei Zibi in the Arctic, and the Tiantai Diya of the Six Princes is detached, and Emperor Wei Zi is still in charge of Zhenwu;

3. Functionally, Zhenwu mainly plays the devil except the water god, but before the Tang Dynasty, the Northern Emperor Wei Zi undertook this task, and one of the classics that made Zhenwu famous was also described by Emperor Wei Zi. Zhenwu, as a descendant and a god, was of course controlled by the Northern Emperor and ordered by the Jade Emperor.

4. More clearly, the records posted about Wen Taibao mentioned the relationship between the Northern Emperor, the King of Yue and Xuan Di: "The King of Yue had to tell the story of Wen Qiong's dereliction of duty and told the Northern Emperor ... Xuan Di paid attention to his intentions, guaranteed the performance of the Ming Dynasty, and begged beggars to forgive Joan. The northern emperor can ask for something, persuade him to be ordered by Xuandi, make him explain evil spirits, and make his prestige more and more shocking. "

Therefore, to sum up, the overall level of Emperor Wei Zi is higher than that of Emperor Zhenwu.
