What is the origin of the Jade Emperor?

According to the jade emperor's collection, the prince of the bright and wonderful kingdom gave up the throne and studied Taoism and practice truth in Yanshan, Jinxiang, Jin Ming, to help the country save the people and all sentient beings. He escaped billions of robberies (so the age of the jade emperor is about10 billion years old, which is roughly equivalent to the age when the universe has not yet formed), and he finally became the jade emperor.

In Taoism, the jade emperor's full name is: the heaven and the golden que are supreme, and the natural beauty is the true jade emperor of Milla. In The Journey to the West, the title is: Jade Emperor, Great Heaven, Xuanthe king of world God.

The Jade Emperor didn't flourish until the Song Dynasty, and it didn't spread until it was officially recognized by the imperial court. Moreover, it is positioned under the Sanqing, ranking only one of the four emperors. The four emperors were the Jade Emperor, Wei Zi, Gou Chen and Hou Tu. The Jade Emperor ruled for ten thousand days and was the assistant of Sanqing.

The information recorded in the book expanded to the Jade Emperor, which was relatively early. The heavenly emperor worshipped by Confucianism is a god. Before Confucianism, there were emperors and five emperors. The emperor's most famous children are ten suns, nine of which were shot off by Hou Yi.

Huang San, Yanhuang, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Xiang Ying, etc. These are probably the highest gods worshipped by some tribes.

Later, with the emergence of Taoism and Taoist factions, the immortal system was once again greatly enriched. Moreover, due to the development of Taoism, the highest god of Taoism has a great influence on the highest gods of other tribes, sects and schools.

As a local religion, Taoism has a great influence on the whole land of China. The immortal system created by Taoism now covers the highest gods created by other nationalities, schools and literary works.
