Journey to the West is a book suitable for all ages, which constructs a huge system of gods and demons, which can be said to be a comprehensive summary and development of Chinese folk beliefs in gods and demons.
The journey to the west story has great potential to develop into the journey to the west universe, and many characters in it can be taken out alone to tell the story, especially the names of many supporting characters involved in it, in other stories, it is a well-known protagonist.
Such a good story system, it can be said that it is a big treasure, as long as it is good at using, it can completely support a huge system of gods and demons, today we will talk about a very important character in the Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor.
In the setting of Journey to the West, he is the supreme lord of the Heavenly Court, and the first thing to affirm is that all the demons, ghosts, gods and buddhas are imagined by people, and they generally have reality as a reference or correspondence.
The Jade Emperor and the Ling Xiao Treasure Hall obviously refer to the emperor and the imperial palace in the human world, of course, those exaggerated and exaggerated descriptions are only the author's imagination.
On the topic of who appointed the Jade Emperor, the book does not clearly state, but the book gives a clue, that is, when Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, he thought that the position of the Jade Emperor, whoever could fight him could sit, so he shouted for the Jade Emperor to give way.
Then ruolai Buddha told Sun Wukong a lot of truths, which means that it is very difficult for the Jade Emperor to occupy a position, and it is after countless disasters and years and many tests to achieve this position today.
I am willing to look at this passage, and it is very clear that the position of the Jade Emperor is actually a time to survive, which means that this position is not fought down by the Jade Emperor, but must have been passed to him by the previous Jade Emperor.
Some people say that the immortals will also die, of course the immortals will die, otherwise things like the peach elixir ginseng fruit will not become the most precious treasure of heaven and earth, and the role of these things is to let the immortals expand their lifespan.
The so-called immortals, strictly speaking, he is only immortal, immortality is not equal to immortality, so this immortal he has a little time limit, to this limit, or what calamity falls from the sky, the old immortals will be destroyed, replaced by a new one, and the Jade Emperor is after a lot of tests, selected by the previous Jade Emperor, and finally became this Jade Emperor.
This is mainly a reflection from reality, China's dynasties, except for the founding emperor, the other emperors are the old emperors died, he succeeded to the throne to become the emperor, no need to fight and kill again.
As for whether there was any great war, this did not, why did it not, because the Jade Emperor was originally made up blindly, and there was no such god in the early Taoist system.
Many people make up stories of the Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, and so on, these things, you can make them up, but you have to state that it has nothing to do with Journey to the West, don't get involved in Journey to the West.
Myths are originally imaginations in people's minds, but no matter how they are imagined, there will be shadows of reality, even if it is a battle between the open and the dark, it is nothing more than a reaction in reality.
The Jade Emperor finally sat in this position after so many tribulations, and Sun Wukong was only a few hundred years old, just like sitting in this position, which was obviously too tender.
Of course, the Jade Emperor is not insurmountable, but Sun Wukong is certainly not able to do it, nor can the Erlang God, only when there is a big disaster and the world is in chaos, it may be possible to overthrow it.
