Wei Zi praises the world video.

There are six realms between heaven and earth, namely, heaven, celestial world, human world, demon world and the underworld. The Jade Emperor is in charge of the human, celestial and celestial worlds, while the underworld is ruled by the founder of the Nine-Day Wandering Demon, and the demon world is ruled by Chiyou, while the underworld was originally controlled by the Empress Hou Yi, and later ruled by Ten Dian Yan.

There are six realms between heaven and earth. Why does the Jade Emperor only care about the Three Realms?

In the Taoist myth system, the Jade Emperor is the head of the four emperors, sitting high in the hall of the nine wonders, and in charge of the three realms of God, Heaven and Man. In fact, the celestial world and the celestial world are roughly the same. The difference is that all the immortals can go to heaven, but not all the immortals are in heaven. Civil servants above heaven are people from heaven, while those outside heaven are immortals. Simply put, civil servants and people who are good at cultivating immortals are ruled by the Jade Emperor. Although there is an emperor in the human world, the emperor is also the incarnation of the gods, so the human world is actually bloodline.

This demon world is different from other worlds. They were all cultivated by clever monsters themselves, and they were not recognized by orthodoxy, so they also became monsters other than immortals. They don't have such a strict hierarchy, that is, whoever is strong is king, so their ruler is a complete bully. Chiyou is an ancient god of war. It is said that he is like a bull's head with wings behind him, and he is in a mess in the underworld.

And the underworld has always been opposed to the celestial world, so people in the underworld are regarded as people outside theological orthodoxy, and they must be very powerful, otherwise they will not be opposed to the celestial world, but after all, they are not as powerful as the celestial world, and the resources of the underworld are not as good as the celestial world, so they have always been on the dark side. Their ruler is the founder of the nine-day wandering devil. The place where ghosts of the underworld gather after the death of human beings was originally managed by empresses. Later, there were ten halls of Hades, and this gloomy underworld was ruled by ten of them.

So how does Taoism view these six realms?

China's fairy tale system can be said to be a complete story system. From the custom flood to the establishment of heaven, the westward journey can be strung into an epic fairy tale. In fairy tales, we often see that the world is divided into three realms, but in fact, the "three realms" is a Buddhist saying, but there is no such thing in Taoist classics, and the Taoist system is called "Sanyuan" or "Sancai". The "Jade Emperor" in fairy tales is not in charge of which realm, but with other five emperors, such as Gou Chen, Dongji Tsinghua, Wei Zi and Changsheng. Therefore, in fairy tales, the jade emperor's management of the three realms does not exist, and there is no such thing as Taoism.

1. What are the six realms of heaven and earth?

The six realms of heaven and earth are fictional from online novels. Taoism and Buddhism do not say "six realms", while Buddhism says "three realms and five elements". In the story of Journey to the West, the Monkey King just jumped out of the three realms, not in the five elements, and was "immortal", while the three realms were "lust, color and colorless". The "desire" here refers to hell and human beings, and "color".

Second, the Jade Emperor

Besides, the Jade Emperor belongs to one of the six Taoists and has nothing to do with Buddhism. Among them, "heaven and earth people" are not divided into three realms, but are called "three talents" Even in the well-known fairy tale The Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor is not the highest god between heaven and earth, among which the Tathagata is the Lord of the Western Heaven and the Jade Emperor is the night in the worse heaven.

It must be said that China's myth system, through the efforts of generations of ancestors, has built China's fairy tale system. In ancient times, due to the limited human cognition, these fairy tales were people's beliefs. Although they never really worked, they also taught their ancestors to respect and fear nature. On this planet, there is not a country without faith. Although Taoism is not obvious, it is in the hearts of Chinese descendants. That deep-rooted belief can only be achieved by Taoism. Although in modern times, more people stepped into temples, but as long as they entered the Taoist temple, no one in China was not afraid. This is a belief that goes deep into the bone marrow, and this is our own belief in China.

China Taoism stresses "quietness". Most of them practice in the deep mountains and rarely open the door to welcome guests. However, in the event of a mansion disaster on this land, there will inevitably be Taoist children to save the world. Although the famous mountains are not obvious, they love this land and this country as much as we do. This land is definitely not a good place for foreign monks to recite scriptures. The temple is called "alms", and we Taoists call it "self-sufficiency".

Fairy tales are stories after all, and it is also true that they are not credible. However, it can be seen from the collection of Buddhism and Taoism that the two systems are very different and should not be discussed together. China's fairy tales are grand and rigorous.
