What is in the temple is Buddhism, what is in the temple is Taoism, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are Taoism, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is Buddhism, haha... What is the lay name of the Jade Emperor?
The Jade Emperor's lay name is Zhang Jian.
According to the records of "Youyang Zazu", the surname of Tianweng (also known as the Jade Emperor) is Zhang, and his given name is Zhang Jian, whose courtesy name is Cike. He is from Yuyang (southwest of Miyun District, Beijing). Zhang Jian has been an unrestrained person since he was a child, and is not used to being restricted by rules and regulations. He is maverick and goes his own way. He likes flying eagles and running dogs, riding horses and hunting.
Once Zhang Jian caught a white sparrow while hunting. The white sparrow was very cute. Zhang Jian liked it very much and kept it as a pet. Soon Zhang Jian dreamed that the then Emperor Liu Yu (surnamed Liu) was furious and said that the white sparrow was a divine bird from heaven, and Zhang Jian should be executed for catching the divine bird privately.
Later, Emperor Liu Yu really planned to execute Zhang Jian. Fortunately, Bai Que helped Zhang Jian every time and allowed Zhang Jian to avoid danger. Emperor Liu Yu was furious, so he personally went down to earth in a white dragon chariot to visit Zhang Jian. Zhang Jian pretended to entertain Liu Yudi warmly, got Liu Yudi drunk, and then secretly got on Liu Yudi's white dragon chariot and flew to Heavenly Palace.
After ascending to heaven, Zhang Jian replaced a large number of civil and military officials and became the new Jade Emperor. Zhang Jian was still worried and ordered people to block the Beitian Gate so that the miserable former Jade Emperor, Old Liu, could not go to heaven. As a result, Old Liu could only create disasters among the Five Mountains.
As the Jade Emperor at this time, Zhang Jian naturally could not sit idly by, so he appointed Lao Liu as the God of Mount Tai, in charge of the life and death of the people in the world, and he himself became the Jade Emperor, the master of the three realms.
In addition, during the reign of Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhenzong forged the dream god and named the Jade Emperor the "Tai Shang Kai Tian Zhi Fu Li Yu Li Han Zhen Ti Dao Jade Emperor", referred to as the Jade Emperor God, Jade Emperor, Jade Emperor. emperor.

Folk misunderstandings about the Jade Emperor
One: Using the Jade Emperor to "step down" scares people.
Inspired by malicious propaganda from modern television, movies, and non-Taoist sects, it is claimed that the Jade Emperor God will abdicate and the deity who will succeed him is "Guansheng Emperor" or "Zhenwu Emperor".
Most of these heresies originate from the theory of supernatural powers such as fuqi and possession.
According to the "Tai Shang Temple of Heaven Jade Ge Jing", all the true gods and generals who do not possess the body of a living person, such as those who often possess human speech, are definitely evil spirits, heretics and evil spirits. Most of them are evil spirits. The fact that the land and the command can do this is a fallacy and heresy, not a Taoist belief.
According to the "Collected Sutras of the Highest Jade Emperor", the Jade Emperor was originally the crown prince of the Guangming Miao Le Kingdom. He gave up his throne to learn Taoism and practice Buddhism in Xiangyan Mountain of Jinming Dynasty, assisting the country and saving the people, and transforming all living beings. After thousands of tribulations and millions of calamities, he once "sacrificed his life to stop the North Que, and saved all sentient beings on his behalf", and finally became a saint through the ages. The age of the Jade Emperor is close to the age of the universe tested today.
It can be seen that the Jade Emperor is not only the leader of Taoist gods and the master of the three realms in the general sense, but also the great sage who regulates the universe based on the movement of the Taoism, that is, the ontology of Taoism's belief - Tao. If "Emperor Guan Sheng" or "Emperor Zhenwu" is used to succeed the "Jade Emperor", it means the destruction of the universe. Therefore, using the Jade Emperor to "step down" to scare people is a fallacy and not a Taoist belief.
Two: Use the Jade Emperor’s “spouse” and “daughter” to bluff people.
Also slandered by the media and TV, he also created many "spouses" and "daughters" for the Supreme Taoist Jade Emperor of Jinque. Comparing an originally unrelated deity with the Jade Emperor misinterprets Taoist beliefs. According to legend, the most popular ones are the "Queen Mother of the West", "Houtu Emperor Dizhi", "Seven Fairies" and so on.
The Jade Emperor existed before the beginning of the tribulation. His true body was the ancestral Qi of the Three Pure Ones. All the heavens in the ten directions transformed into holy realms, and all the Jade Emperors had their corresponding dharma bodies. According to the Jade Emperor's Collection of Sutras, it is stated that the Jade Emperor is the god's solid, indestructible and supreme dharma body. In the golden palace, he helps all living beings and ascends to the other side. He spreads his teachings and cultivates the Taoism. The Jade Emperor has no concubines or daughters. Using the Jade Emperor as his "consort" and "daughter" to scare people is a fallacy and not a Taoist belief.
