The Origin of the Jade Emperor How did the Jade Emperor, the highest Taoist god, come from?

The origin of the Jade Emperor: The Jade Emperor is the emperor of all gods: the God of Heaven, the king of immortals, the Lord of saints, and the supreme god of three gods and three immortals. The jade emperor has the power to command nine-day classes and recruit the gods of the four seas and five mountains. All the gods were present, just like the emperors and ministers in the world. How did the Jade Emperor come?

The Jade Emperor is also the embodiment of Sanqing. Sanqing and the Jade Emperor are like nothingness before splendor, infinity before Tai Chi, inaction before action. Therefore, the Jade Emperor is the master of three talents and holds the balance between heaven and earth. The Jade Emperor sent the Arctic Emperor to be in charge of the latitude and longitude of heaven and earth, and the Shanggong Emperor Chen to be in charge of the three talents of heaven and earth, and the soldiers were exchanged among the masters. After the distribution, the local tyrant was only in charge of the fertility of Yin and Yang and the mountains and rivers of the earth. Everything in heaven and earth, everything in yin and yang, is in the hands of the jade emperor.

Legend 1

The Jade Emperor used to be a stockade owner, named Zhang You, also known as Zhang Bairen. It is said that since the beginning of time, there has been nothing wrong between heaven and earth. Later, the gods began to fight, and the world was dissolute, which made the three worlds of heaven and earth chaos. So Taibai Venus came down to earth to find a man with both ability and political integrity to be the emperor of the Three Realms. Venus turned into a beggar, looking for it everywhere. Later, when she arrived at Zhangjiawan, she found that Zhang You, known as Zhang Bai, managed the village very harmoniously and was kind and compassionate, so she took it back to heaven and became the Jade Emperor. Later, the three immortals asked Zhang Bairen to be the emperor for life, and * * * called the Jade Emperor. Because the Jade Emperor is the chief emperor of the Three Realms, it is also called the Jade Emperor or Jade Emperor God.

Legend 2

The Jade Emperor was a beggar named Zhang You before his death. The immortals in the sky are all appointed by Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya gave all kinds of official positions to the immortals in turn, and after Jiang Ziya sealed all the official positions, there was only one official position left, the Jade Emperor. It was originally reserved for myself. I haven't had time to announce it yet. The immortals asked him why no one sat on the jade emperor's seat. Jiang Ziya said, "There are people here." Before his words were finished, a man in rags had sat on the throne of the Jade Emperor. This person is called Zhang You, and this "someone" happens to be homophonic with his friend. Although Jiang Ziya is disgusted, it is no joke to seal the gods. In front of many immortals, nothing can be changed. So Zhang You became the Jade Emperor.
