The legend of the folk Zhenwu Emperor is not uncommon, after all, he is a deified figure.

The first is his birth, he was born in a country on the edge of the sea and sky, called Jingle Country, he was born as a prince, which can be described as glorious and rich, and his parents took good care of the country and counted on their son to take over. His mother, Empress Seonkatsu, was also strangely pregnant. It is said that at that time, Queen Seonkatsu was playing in the garden, and suddenly, the immortal came, grabbed the sun, and threw it to the queen, and as soon as the sun landed, it turned into a fruit, and after eating this fruit, Queen Seonkatsu became pregnant. Anyway, in ancient times, kings, immortals were born with some visions. Fourteen months after Empress Shansheng was pregnant, the child was born, and this was Emperor Zhenwu. After all, he has the foundation of immortals, so he is very knowledgeable at a few years. , not only good-looking, but also good kung fu, is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. The emperor was very happy, and as a result, the prince was unwilling to inherit the throne, just like cultivating immortals and gaining the Tao, saving the common people. No matter how much you try to persuade you, you can't do it. In view of his dedication to cultivating immortals, Zixu Yuanjun personally went down to teach the Immortal Dao, and became an immortal in this way.
In addition, the legend about Emperor Zhenwu is the origin of "Taizi Slope" and the two place names "Shangxia Eighteen Pan". It is said that the Emperor Zhenwu insisted on cultivating immortals, and the Queen of Victory kept chasing, shouting while chasing, hoping to call her son back, but she shouted eighteen times, on the contrary, she took eighteen steps, and the Emperor Zhenwu responded to eighteen sounds, but walked eighteen steps, so the mother and son were getting farther and farther away, and the Queen of Victory did not catch up. This formed the two place names of today's Wudang Mountain.
There are also many legends of the Zhenwu Emperor, and these are just two of the more representative.
What is the relationship between Emperor Zhenwu and the Jade Emperor?
All kinds of myths and legends, what is the relationship between the Zhenwu Emperor and the Jade Emperor? According to the kinship, the two are not related by blood, they are not brothers, they are not father and son, and Emperor Zhenwu is the ** person of the Jade Emperor.
Zhenwu Emperor color book.
In many books, the Jade Emperor is like the boss of the heavenly court, eating and drinking all day long, listening to everyone's reports, just like the emperor in the world. The Jade Emperor is indeed in charge of many things, the gods of the Three Realms are in charge of him, and he must also manage the rise and fall of all things in the world, but this does not mean that his cultivation is very powerful, just because his divine power is the highest. If in terms of cultivation, the Jade Emperor is not the highest. In fact, watching Journey to the West, Sun Wukong went to the Heavenly Palace to make trouble, and the Jade Emperor had an expression that he couldn't beat a monkey. As far as cultivation is concerned, there is no doubt that the True Martial Emperor is on it. Taishang Laojun's eighty-two illusion bodies on the ground, the son of Pangu, the father of Yanhuang, has also become Fuxi's activities in the world, no wonder his cultivation is higher than that of the Jade Emperor.
The Zhenwu Emperor is mainly a cultivator, he is a demon destroyer, and the demons of the Three Realms are under his control, at the same time, he is also guarding the North Heavenly Gate, it should be said that the Zhenwu Emperor is equivalent to a student with good grades, and the Jade Emperor is equivalent to the class leader, and his grades are not the best, and he is in charge of the most.
It can be seen from this that the Zhenwu Emperor has nothing to do with the Jade Emperor, they are colleagues, each in charge of their own affairs, the Jade Emperor has strong management ability, and his cultivation is not the strongest, and the Zhenwu Emperor is strong in cultivation, but it is not the strongest management ability, and finally, after the Jade Emperor retired, the Zhenwu Emperor took his place.
Zhenwu the Great and Sun Wukong.
In "Journey to the West", Emperor Zhenwu and Sun Wukong have almost no intersection. Even when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, it was the South Heavenly Gate, and the True Martial Emperor was in the North Heavenly Gate, and he was the True Martial Emperor of the North Pole.

This northern immortal is rarely mentioned in "Journey to the West". Compared to Sun Wukong, what he said, from birth, Sun Wukong jumped out of the cracks in the stone. It is said that the stone was left by Nuwa when she mended the sky, and Pangu's son was the Emperor Zhenwu, the next Emperor of the Jade Emperor, and the father of the Second Emperor of Yan and Huang. Secondly, Sun Wukong is the most powerful and glorious moment, and he is just a tie with a Wang Lingguan under the Zhenwu Emperor, which also proves that Sun Wukong is not the opponent of the Zhenwu Emperor.
At that time, the Emperor Zhenwu was able to suppress the demons of the Three Realms, and a monkey popping out of a small stone crack was definitely not a problem. In the Chinese tradition, the general Taoist figure is a little more skilled than the Buddhist figure. First of all, Sun Wukong is not Rulai's opponent, in fact, Rulai is not as powerful as the real Wu Emperor, Sun Wukong is not stupid, he only goes where he can deal with it**, never go to the trouble of these great immortals. Therefore, Sun Wukong did not dare to provoke the Emperor Zhenwu rashly. Moreover, the Zhenwu Emperor also has a resounding name called Demon Tianzun, and no bull ghost snake god can play with him.
In Journey to the West, there is no head-on conflict between Zhenwu Emperor and Sun Wukong, the main reason is that Zhenwu Emperor is set at the Tianzun level, and monkeys like Sun Wukong can't take his turn to do it, and it can be solved if it comes. The rights and jurisdiction of Emperor Zhenwu are relatively large, and it should be said that Sun Wukong's level is not enough for him to manage.
