In Chinese history, there were emperors, emperors and kings, at the beginning of civilization there were three emperors and five emperors, and later there were King Dayu, King Shangtang and King Wen of Zhou. There were emperors from Qin Shi Huang.
The "Jade Emperor" was later than Qin Shi Huang, and even later than Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, because there were only two great gods in the Wei and Jin dynasties, "Jade Emperor Daojun" and "High Jade Emperor", which may have merged into the "Jade Emperor". But in the Tang Dynasty, many Taoist sects regarded the Jade Emperor as the god of Haotian, such as Li Bai: "Enter the cave and pass the heaven and earth, and ascend to the Jade Emperor of the True Dynasty", Bai Juyi said: "Look up to the Jade Emperor, and be sincere before the head".
In the Song Dynasty, the Jade Emperor became the official belief, because Song Zhenzong called it "Taishang Kaitian Zhifu Imperial Calendar contains the true body Dao Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Emperor", and Song Huizong added "Haotian" to become "Taishang Kaitian Zhifu Imperial Calendar contains the true body Dao Haotian Jade Emperor God".
Ancient China worshipped jade, jade, which is a transparent stone, that is, a stone, but it was worshipped, so it was symbolized.
The "jade" of the Jade Emperor should also be a symbol of worship.
The Jade Emperor is sometimes preceded by "Zhang", which some believe to have originated from the Han Dynasty or the last years of the Han Dynasty. But there are also people who think that "Zhang" is"Expand"Righteousness.
"Journey to the West" has a royal brother, who is a Tang monk in the daughter country, not the "Jade Emperor". In "Journey to the West", Tang Seng was named the "royal brother" by the Tang King before setting off from the scriptures, and this "royal" is the meaning of "emperor", such as the imperial decree; Imperial Views; Imperial Meal; Royal Brush; Imperial Status; Royal Driver's Expedition.
