"Heaven Emperor", the emperor who rules the heavens is the highest god in charge of the world. Do you know who the gods are in the past?

Tiandi, the supreme ruler in China mythology, ruled the heavens and the worlds, and the supreme god changed with different dynasties. For example, Qin Xianggong offered sacrifices to Baidi, Qin Xuangong offered sacrifices to Qing Di, Linggong offered sacrifices to the two emperors of Yanhuang, and after the reunification of Qin, he offered sacrifices to the above four emperors. On the basis of the four emperors, the Western Han Dynasty joined Hei Di, which was called the Five-Party God. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yitai has become the supreme god and surpassed the five parties. In ancient China, due to the change of dynasties and the integration of nationalities, the highest gods they worshipped were different. However, since the prosperity of Confucianism, all the highest gods in China's major myths have been replaced by the God of Heaven, and God of Heaven has been the official orthodox sacrifice to the highest god of all dynasties until the end of the Qing Dynasty's demise of the Chinese monarchy.

In the ancient Xia Dynasty, tribal leaders were worshipped, such as Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi. The Emperor of Heaven worshipped by Shang Dynasty may be Di Ku. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of Heaven was Taiyi. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the Jade Emperor dreamed, and Taoists merged with the Confucian God of Heaven to be called the Jade Emperor. With the widespread spread of Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor became more familiar.

In ancient times, people liked to address the leaders of a tribal alliance as the Emperor of Heaven, such as Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku and Tang Yao, and they were all honored as the Emperor of Heaven in the historical books of pre-Qin dynasties.

During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, emperors of all dynasties respected their ancestors as heavenly emperors, such as the heavenly emperor Dayu in the Xia Dynasty and the heavenly emperor Di Ku in the Shang Dynasty.

Hao Tian (God) exists as the sacrificial object of the ruler of Chinese civilization. It should be noted that Hao Tian does not depend on a certain religion, but is a national myth belief.

"Sui Shu Etiquette": "Greeting the spirit at five o'clock belongs to Emperor Taiti, a man who worships the five elements, and is not a sacrifice to heaven. Heaven is called the emperor, also known as God, and it is also called the emperor. The emperor of the five elements can also be called God, but not Heaven. "
