"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?
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. "
