Who is Emperor Xuanwu? Is it the Jade Emperor?

Emperor Xuanwu is not the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor, that is, "the God of the Jade Emperor, who is supreme in heaven and golden que, is wonderful in nature and miracle", is the master of heaven and earth in Taoist myths and legends. Xuanwu the Great, Zhenwu the Great, is the northern god in China mythology. Zhenwu Emperor was originally Zhuan Xu's assistant god Xuanwu, and later Zhenwu Emperor succeeded Zhuan Xu, the Northern Emperor, as the Emperor guarding the North.

At present, the god worshipped in Wudang Mountain, Hubei Province is Zhenwu Emperor, which is called "the innocent Wuling should help the holy emperor" in Taoist scriptures, and is referred to as "Zhenwu Emperor" for short. In China, people call it "Demon Buddha, the founder, the founder".

Finally, the tortoise and snake became gods, that is, Zhenwu, and the tortoise and snake became two generals under Zhenwu.
