Today is the birthday of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor is the supreme heavenly teacher in Taoism. He is like an emperor on the earth, in charge of 72 places for 36 days, in charge of all gods, buddhas, immortals, saints, people and the underworld. According to Li Hai Ji, "The Jade Emperor was born on the ninth day of the first month." Huang Ming Daozhou's "Moon Order Qingyi" also records: "On the ninth day of the first month, the Jade Emperor was born."
