As for the Jade Emperor, he appeared relatively late. With the formation of Taoist culture, his goal was to be an emperor on earth. Although he is a god, he belongs to a serious ruler position. Because of the rising of Taoist culture, Sanqing appeared again. They refer to primitive Buddha, Lingbao Daojun and Taishang Laojun respectively, and their rights seem to be higher than theocracy.
In the Song Dynasty, in order to reflect these two cultural positions, the emperor at that time connected them in series, which was the title of heaven and earth, the supreme ruler of heaven, and combined Taoism and theocracy into one. He also said that Tiandi was the emperor among the gods, that is, the Jade Emperor. Established the orthodox position of the jade emperor. Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, many gods were blocked. This shows that these theocracies are all a means of the emperor's rule. In order to embody the kingship and theocracy of monarchies, they preached theology.
In the Heroes of the Condor that we saw, the Jade Emperor is a god in the sky, and they are the same person. But in some previous historical cultures, the Jade Emperor was distinguished from the gods, because in the Zhou Dynasty, the gods were regarded as the supreme gods, and he was closer to the gods. Moreover, the god of heaven appeared in the early European religious gods and became the worship god in some European religions.
