The origin of the Jade Emperor

The Jade Emperor originated from the ancient people's worship of the Emperor of Heaven. In ancient times, people called the Supreme God Emperor, or the God of Heaven. He was the Supreme God who ruled heaven, earth and the underworld.

The ancients believed that heaven is the master of all things in the universe and the source of growth and education of all things, so don't be disrespectful of heaven and fear life, but take the path of heaven. Therefore, it is associated with a supreme God who rules everything in nature.

Therefore, the heaven ordered the king to come to the world to hold a political post, and the king must obey God's will in order to have a good weather and a peaceful country. Otherwise, the king violates heaven, and heaven drops all kinds of ominous signs and disasters.

Kings fear heaven, and officials naturally fear heaven. Since the king rules the world with the will of heaven, it is necessary to make sacrifices to heaven regularly, which is not only the unshirkable duty of the king, but also the grand ceremony of the country.

Since Shang and Zhou Dynasties, emperors of all dynasties have held grand suburban sacrifices every year, which is the highest symbol of the idea of respecting heaven, but only kings are qualified to sacrifice.
