What are Sanqing, Siyu, Wufang and Five Elders?

In the ancient legends of China, a very important part is about immortals from all walks of life. Although the traditional local religion in China is Taoism, because of the cultural blending, in the two famous ancient novels of The Journey to the West and The Romance of Gods and Ghosts, there are plots of Taoist infighting and Buddhist gods jumping off each other. In modern times, with the rise of online novels, ancient fairy novels are also very popular. Some Chinese immortals invented by some authors are also widely circulated, and some even believe them. Who are the second ancestor, the third Qing dynasty and the fourth emperor who are often mentioned?

A statue

There are two opinions about who has the most powerful statue, Pangu, the second ancestor and the fourth emperor of Sanqing, and the Queen Mother of the West. Pangu is a great god who created the world in ancient legends, and all the mountains and rivers in China belong to his body form. The Queen Mother of the West is the leader of the fairy in Taoism. In the myths of Han and Qiang nationalities, the heavenly queen is sometimes regarded as the creator god. Pangu and the Queen Mother of the West have high status among Chinese immortals, and it makes sense for any one of them to be regarded as the "one statue" of the second ancestor, the third Qing Dynasty, the fourth royal family and the fifth old man.

Joey

There are two opinions about who is the second ancestor of a statue: Nu Wa and Fuxi, as well as Lao Zi (Li Er) and Zhuangzi (Zhuang Zhou). These two opinions are viewed from different angles. Nu Wa and Fuxi are two creation gods in ancient legends. They created human beings and taught them to fish and hunt. Laozi and Zhuangzi occupy a lofty position in Taoism.

Sanqing

Sanqing is the spiritual Buddha of Shangqing, the moral Buddha of Taiqing and the Buddha of Yuqing.

Yus

The second ancestor, the Third Qing Dynasty, and the Five Old Four Emperors are: Gouchen went to the Palace Emperor, Zhongtian Weizi went to the North Pole Emperor, inherited the heaven and imitated the earth emperor, and the Antarctic immortal emperor. The duty of the Four Emperors is to assist the Jade Emperor.
