Is the legendary Emperor of Heaven and the Jade Emperor related? Are they the same person?

Not a person, the Emperor of Heaven is a myth and legend, when chaos first opened, he was elected by the Quartet as the god in charge of the ** heavenly realm, the saying is different, and there are three emperors and five emperors, if you are interested, you may wish to take a look at the records in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

According to the records of Buddhism, the Jade Emperor was the first "God of War" in Buddhism, named "Emperor Shi", and was later elected by Taoists as the "Jade Emperor" in charge of the Taoist fairy world because of his military exploits and talents.

If the two are related, it is a matter of time in myths and legends, you know, according to legends, the reign of the Jade Emperor is no longer considered a mythological era, which can be seen from many aspects, the Emperor's statement was recorded in the Xia Shang no history book before, and the Jade Emperor was after it, such as the record in "Journey to the West" is the Tang Dynasty, and there are many gods led by the Jade Emperor during his reign are sealed in the "Fengshen List", such as Li Jing, the third prince Nezha, Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian, and the four heavenly kings ......And the "Fengshen List" is recorded at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty.

I'll say it from an unseen perspective. From the perspective of history and religion, the concept of the ancient ancestors only had the statement of the Emperor of Heaven, and later, that is, around the Tang Dynasty, the statement of the Jade Emperor appeared. In fact, the so-called Jade Emperor was proposed by Taoism, that is, it was fused with the Emperor of Heaven.

Originally, the biggest Taoist was the Three Qings, but the common people did not accept it, so a Jade Emperor came out later, which is the so-called God.

From the perspective of mythological evolution, the Jade Emperor and the Jade Emperor were originally just two minor gods, and Zhao Gongming was just a killing god, but later slowly evolved into the God of Wealth, and the Jade Emperor and the Jade Emperor also merged into the Jade Emperor and dominated the Heavenly Palace.

The Emperor of Heaven was once recorded as a subordinate of Chi You, and the thing that was beheaded was killed, which is not exact, in fact, it was the matter of the Emperor of Heaven and Xingtian, the Emperor of Heaven cut off the head of Xingtian, and as a result, Xingtian took milk as his eye, and took the navel as his mouth, and still fought with the Emperor of Heaven, that's all, only in the biography of Journey to the West, it was said that the Emperor of Heaven was beheaded, and then the gods let the Jade Emperor take charge of the Three Realms.

In fact, after the Tang Dynasty, there was rarely a statement of the Emperor of Heaven. When ancient gods such as Nuwa were replaced by religious gods, the Emperor of Heaven was gone.

In the Romance of the Gods, there was no Emperor of Heaven, and as for the Jade Emperor, he only said that the old Dragon King wanted to find the Jade Emperor to sue for his son, which shows that there was a Jade Emperor at that time, like Princess Longji, who was the daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. Therefore, they are not canonized.

You can understand them as two people or as one person. In fact, the jury is still inconclusive.

1. The Emperor of Heaven and the Jade Emperor are the masters of heaven and earth in mythology in different periods, and in order to maintain the relative coherence of the legend, later generations say that it is the punishment of heaven.

killed the Emperor of Heaven and the Earth in four dimensions, and Nuwa passed on the law and decreed the gods, this is the "Legend of the Gods".

Later, the Jade Emperor was named the master of the Heavenly Palace, and this is why the official position of the Jade Emperor is equivalent to the emperor of the world.

2. The difference between them is mainly due to the different eras, and secondly, their images are also different, the Emperor of Heaven is a natural god, and the Jade Emperor is sealed.

There are many people who don't know the relationship between the Heavenly Emperor and the Jade Emperor, but in fact, the gap between the two of them is very large. The Emperor of Heaven is the leader of the Three Realms and is the emperor who rules the world, while the Jade Emperor is the successor of the Emperor of Heaven. The gap between the two of them is very large, and the Jade Emperor can be a latecomer to the Heavenly Emperor.

Moreover, the immortals who are the Emperor of Heaven are much more powerful than those who are the Jade Emperor.

There are many people who think that the Heavenly Emperor and the Jade Emperor are the same person, because they are both rulers of the Heavenly Court. In fact, the gap between the Emperor of Heaven and the Jade Emperor is very large, and the Jade Emperor is actually the successor of the Emperor of Heaven. Many ancient myths are actually related to the Emperor of Heaven, but after that, the Emperor of Heaven didn't know where to go, and then the supreme ruler of the Three Realms became the Jade Emperor.

As for why the Heavenly Emperor abdicated to the Jade Emperor, this is something that many people don't understand very well. Regarding the identity of the Emperor of Heaven, it has always been very controversial, some people say that it is Fuxi, and some people say that it is the emperor. The Emperor of Heaven is the original god, and he, who was born with a godhead, and Nuwa are the gods of the same era.

In many ancient myths, the Emperor of Heaven was the ruler of the Heavenly Court.

It is said that after the "Fengshen List", the ruler of the heavenly court is the Jade Emperor. As for what is the relationship between the Heavenly Emperor and the Jade Emperor, they are the relationship between the previous leader and the current leader. After the Heavenly Emperor, it was the Jade Emperor who ruled the Heavenly Court.

Regarding why the Emperor of Heaven passed on the throne to the Jade Emperor, there is a saying that the Emperor of Heaven was killed by Xingtian, and the four dimensions collapsed and the world was in chaos.

Therefore, for the peace of the Emperor of Heaven, Nuwa Niangniang passed down a decree to make the Jade Emperor the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court. Although the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor are both supreme rulers of the Heavenly Court, they are different in nature. Because the Heavenly Emperor is a natural god, and the Jade Emperor is sealed.

Now what everyone calls the ruler of the Heavenly Court generally refers to the Jade Emperor.

The question of who the Heavenly Emperor is has always been a point of contention among many people, but no matter how they argue, the era of belonging to the Heavenly Emperor has long passed, and the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court is now the Jade Emperor. The gods of the same period as the Emperor of Heaven are now called the ancient gods. And after the Jade Emperor succeeded to the throne, many of the immortals in power have changed a lot, and it can be said that it is now the era of the Jade Emperor.
