Speaking of Emperor Wei Zi, we all know that it is quite awesome. It feels like he is the ultimate boss, but he is not. In fact, Emperor Wei Zi was actually the Emperor of Wei Zi. We will slowly explain his identity below. Someone asked, does this Wei Zi emperor seem to be the Zhenwu Emperor? But it seems not, so what is the connection between this Zhenwu Emperor and Wei Zi Emperor? Let's analyze and reveal the secret together!

Who is the Emperor of Wei Zi?

The Great Emperor Wei Zi, also known as "the Great Emperor Wei Zi of the Midheaven and the Arctic", occupies an important position in Chinese folk beliefs, belonging to one of the four emperors of Taoism, ranking below the Jade Emperor, and assisting the Jade Emperor in managing the astral world.

Wei Zi Palace, also known as Zigong and Zixing, is located in the middle of three walls and is the residence of the emperor in the constellation. The Forbidden City in Sui and Tang Dynasties was called Wei Zicheng, and the Forbidden City in Ming and Qing Dynasties was called the Forbidden City.

Purple MSI is the star that never moves in the middle of the sky and has the highest position, so it is the noblest. He is "the Lord of the stars and the Lord of all things", so he is highly respected. Emperor Wei Zi was in charge of natural latitude, leading the stars all over the world, and controlling ghosts and thunder.

What is the connection between Wei Zi and Zhenwu Emperor?

Legend of Zhenwu the Great

The legend of Zhenwu the Great is not uncommon among the people. After all, he is a deified figure.

First, he was born. He was born in a country by the sea, called Dingdang Country. He was born a prince, which can be described as splendor. His parents have taken good care of the country and expect this son to take over. His mother, Queen Sang Sang, is pregnant. It is said that the Queen Shansheng was playing in the garden when a fairy suddenly came, grabbed the sun and threw it to the Queen. As soon as the sun sets, it becomes a kind of fruit, and the good queen gets pregnant after eating this fruit. Anyway, in ancient times, emperors and immortals had some visions when they were born. Fourteen months after Sun Sheng's mother conceived the baby, the baby was born. This is the Zhenwu Emperor. After all, he has a fairy foundation, so he learned at a few years old. He is not only good-looking, but also good at kung fu. He is a versatile scholar. The emperor was very happy, but as a result, the prince did not want to inherit the throne, just like cultivating immortals to gain enlightenment and saving his life. No matter what persuasion. In view of his dedication to cultivating immortality, Purple Virtual Goddess personally came to teach him the way to become immortal, thus becoming immortal.

In addition, the legend about Zhenwu Emperor is the origin of two place names: "Taizipo" and "Shangxiashiban". It is said that when Emperor Zhenwu insisted on cultivating immortality, the Queen Shansheng followed her all the time, chasing and shouting, hoping to call her son back. As a result, she shouted eighteen times and went down eighteen steps instead. Emperor Zhenwu answered eighteen times, but went up eighteen steps, so the mother and son went further and further, and the good queen did not catch up. This formed these two place names of Wudang Mountain today.

There are many legends about Zhenwu Emperor, and these are just two of them.

Zhenwu Emperor and the Monkey King

There is little intersection between Zhenwu Emperor and the Monkey King in The Journey to the West. Even when the Monkey King made a scene in the Heavenly Palace, he went to the worse gate, and Zhenwu Emperor was in the worse gate. He is the great warrior of the Arctic.

In Journey to the West, this northern fairy was rarely mentioned. Compared with the Monkey King, let's start with his background. The Monkey King jumped out from a crack in a stone, which is said to be left by the goddess of mending the sky. But Zhenwu Emperor is the son of Pangu, the next jade emperor, and the father of Yanhuang Emperor. With this background, the Monkey King can't beat him. Secondly, in the Monkey King's most brilliant moment, it was only a draw with a Wang Lingguan under Zhenwu Emperor, which also proved that the Monkey King was no match for Zhenwu Emperor.

At that time, the Zhenwu Emperor was able to curb the three demons, and a monkey jumped out of a small stone crack. In our country's tradition, Taoist figures are generally more skilled than Buddhist figures. The Monkey King is no match for Tathagata, and Tathagata is actually not as powerful as Zhenwu Emperor. The Monkey King is not stupid. He only makes trouble where he can, and never bothers these big immortals. So the Monkey King dare not rashly to provoke Zhenwu Emperor. Moreover, this Zhenwu Emperor also has a resounding name called Dangmo Tianzun, and nothing can beat him.

In the Journey to the West, there was no direct conflict between Zhenwu Emperor and the Monkey King, mainly because the setting of Zhenwu Emperor was the level of Buddha, which was not something that a monkey like the Monkey King could do, so the Tathagata could solve. Zhenwu Emperor's power and jurisdiction are relatively large, so it should be said that the level of the Monkey King is not enough for him to manage.

Wei Zi and Emperor Zhenwu

Someone asked if the Emperor Zhenwu of China had anything to do with it. Because the Great Emperor Wei Zi is also known as the Great Emperor in Zhongtian and the Great Emperor Zhenwu is one of the four saints in the Arctic. The Four Saints of the Arctic are the subordinates of the Northern Emperor, and he is the Emperor Wei Zi. Therefore, there is a superior-subordinate relationship between Wei Zi and Zhenwu Emperor.

Wei Zi is the god in our Han folk beliefs. He is one of the four emperors of Taoism, and he is the person who helped the Jade Emperor to take charge of heaven. Of course, his position is only below that of the Jade Emperor. Wei Zi, also known as Ziweixing, belongs to the place where the emperor lived in the constellation, so the Forbidden City is called the mortal palace for a reason. Moreover, Ziweixing is a constellation located in the last center of the sky, and it never moves, and its position is also the highest constellation, so it is extremely noble, and it is called "the Lord of the stars, the imperial clan of Vientiane". Wei Zi occupies an important position in folk beliefs, especially in the Song Dynasty, people often worship Wei Zi and the Jade Emperor together.

Zhenwu Emperor, also known as Xuanwu Emperor, is a kind of demon Buddha, whose full name is Zhenwu Demon Emperor. He is also a god in China Han myths and legends. At present, the immortal worshiped in Wudang Mountain, Hubei Province, China is Zhenwu Emperor. In Taoist classics, it is also called Zhenwu Emperor as "Zhenwuling should help the holy emperor". Zhenwu Emperor had a great influence among the people in our country, especially after the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, Zhenwu Emperor is a descendant of Pangu, the great god who created the world. It is said that he was also the father of Emperor Yanhuang, who was reincarnated as the dragon of Fuxi and China. Zhenwu Emperor is one of the four saints in the Arctic. He is a subordinate of Wei Zi Emperor in the Arctic. He was appointed by the Jade Emperor to guard the north.

Who is the incarnation of Zhenwu Emperor?

Zhenwu Emperor, the god in charge of the north, is also called Xuanwu Emperor. Who is the incarnation of Zhenwu Emperor?

According to various myths, he is the eighty-second incarnation of the old gentleman. Think about it. It's also terrible to look at the old gentleman on the throne. The real martial arts demon Buddha is a real great god, and it was only in the eighty-second generation that it was his turn to incarnate the old gentleman. Taishang Laojun is the originator of Taoism. In Taoism, Tai Shang Lao Jun is the person who created the world. It is said that Lao Tzu is the eighteenth incarnation of the old gentleman on the throne. In Taoism, it is believed that there was nothing in the past, and the old gentleman brought everything. The so-called one life, two lives, three lives and three lives. So it is not difficult to understand why many famous great gods came from the incarnation of the old gentleman.

Who is the incarnation of Zhenwu Emperor? There should be no doubt that it is the old gentleman of Taishang, but the incarnation does not mean that the old gentleman of Taishang died and became the emperor of Zhenwu. It should be said that according to the fairy family, it just gives you some aura. Zhenwu emperor was born in Jingle country, a primitive prince, and later devoted himself to the fairy family and became a fairy. There is also a legend that Emperor Zhenwu is the son of Pangu, and Pangu's father started the world, and he took charge of the demons of the Three Realms, and Emperor Yanhuang was his son. Either way, Zhenwu Emperor has been endowed with many immortal auras since he was born, so as to add a stroke to his cultivation of immortals. After all, his origin determines his achievements in cultivating immortals.

Zhenwu Emperor was born in Taishang Laojun, Pangu or Jingle Country, which proves that Zhenwu Emperor has a great background and made extraordinary achievements in the immortal world. Just like before the birth of ancient emperors, the sky was always surging and auspicious, which is a truth.
