Is there really a jade emperor in history?

The title of Jade Emperor comes from Taoism.

According to Taoism, the Jade Emperor is in charge of three realms (heaven, earth and air), ten squares (four directions, four dimensions, up and down), four lives (viviparous, oviparous, wet and metaplasia) and six paths (heaven, man, demon, hell, beast and hungry ghost).

According to the collection of Shang Gao Jade Emperor Bank, the origin of the Jade Emperor is the son of King Yan Guang Jingle and Queen Bao Yue Guang in heaven. When I was born, I was full of treasures and kingdoms. Minhui, a young man, is very good-looking and kind-hearted. He cherished all the treasures of the country and gave them to all living beings who were poor, destitute, widowed, lonely, helpless, hungry and disabled. After the death of King Jingle, the prince managed the government well and told the ministers that he cared for all beings, so he gave up his country and went to the rock mountain of Pumingxiang to practice. 3.2 thousand robbery proves that Jin Xianchu is a natural emperor, and 100 million robbery proves the jade emperor.

Sacrifice to the Jade Emperor originated from the worship of heaven and earth in ancient times. According to historical records, the Tang Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Wei Dynasty, Han Dynasty and even Qin, Zhou, Shang and Xia Dynasties all had emperors' ceremonies of offering sacrifices to heaven, but the "heaven" at that time simply referred to the "heaven" in nature, namely "heaven" and "heaven". But "heaven" is invisible and slim, so how to sacrifice? So he gradually deified "Heaven" and called it "Jade Emperor". Because the Jade Emperor is an imaginary god, there is no statue. When he arrived in Song Zhenzong, he only got a statue. He was named Jade Emperor as his own ancestor. Statues or portraits of the Jade Emperor usually wear nine robes and twelve rows of beads. Some hold jade pendants and wait on golden weddings, which are completely dressed by emperors of Qin and Han dynasties. After the rise of Taoism, "Tian" was deified as a human being, worshipped as a thinking and emotional humanoid "God", and the images of "Tian" and "God" were created. As a result, the "heaven" worshipped by the people and the "heaven" worshipped by the ancient emperors gradually separated.
