Yuanshi Tianzun
Innate Heavenly Lord God - Yuanshi Tianzun
Origin of Yuanshi Tianzun: Yuanshi Tianzun is one of the highest gods of Taoism "Three Pure Ones". He was born before Taiwu and was born with natural energy. He was first called Yuanshi Tianzun . " Pillows and Shu " by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said, "In the past, the two rituals have not been divided, and the sea is dregs and the wilderness has not been formed. The heaven, earth, sun and moon have not yet been formed, and they are like chickens, chaotic and mysterious yellow. There is already Pangu Zhenren, the essence of heaven and earth, called himself Yuanshi Heavenly King, and wandered in it." Yuanshi Heavenly King, who created the world and successfully ruled the world, she shed her body and had no mind. She paraded in the air and saw the saint Taiyuan, who liked her chastity, and then turned into a blue light and threw it into her mouth. The saint was pregnant for twelve years and was born between her back. Her words and actions often protected her body. Because its predecessor was Pangu and Yuanshi Heavenly King, it was called Yuanshi Heavenly Lord. "The Complete Learning of the Taoist Tao of Gods and Immortals in the World" says, "Yuan is the origin; the beginning is the beginning, the innate qi. This qi transforms into the person who opens up the world, and is Pangu; transforms into the ancestor who presides over the heaven, and is Yuanshi.
The highest place in heaven: Qiliang Gaodao Tao Hongjing compiled by Tao Hongjing says that the place where the gods live is the "Sanyuan Palace of Yuqing", and Yuanshi Tianzun ranks in its "first middle position", that is, the Jade Qing Realm among the thirty-six heavens, and Yuanshi Tianzun is at the highest position in heaven, that is, the thirty-five heavens. In Yuqing territory, there is a pavilion with purple clouds and a city with blue clouds. The gods and immortals went to the Yuqing Realm to worship Yuanshi Tianzun on time.
Secret Taoist Immortal: "The Book of Sui Dynasty" says that Yuanshi Tianzun uses the body of the Tianzun, which always exists and is immortal. Whenever the heaven and earth begin to open, he will teach the secret Taoist to start a disaster to save people. "They all save all the best grades of the heavenly immortals, including , Taishang Laojun, Taishang Laojun, Tianzhen Emperor, Five Directions Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Officials."
Sacrifice: Taoist palaces and temples mostly have the "Sanqing Hall". Yuanshi Tianzun often holds the statue of Hunyuan Bead in the middle of the temple's god statue. In the large-scale Taoist rituals, there are also many three pure gods or statues, and all of them are Yuanshi Tianzun as the middle position. The day of the God's birthday of Yuanshi Tianzun is the first day of the first lunar month. There are also people who worship Yuanshi Tianzun on the winter solstice.
Lingbao Tianzun
Innate God - Lingbao Tianzun
Origin of Lingbao Tianzun: Lingbao Tianzun is one of the highest gods of Taoism "Three Pure Ones", originally called Shangqing Gaosheng Taishang Yuchen Yuanhuang Daojun. The "True Spirit Position and Karma Map" compiled by Tao Hongjing, Gaodao of Qiliang, lists it in the middle of the second divine level, second only to the Yuanshi Tianzun, who is the middle of the first divine level. It was once called Taishang Dadaojun in the Tang Dynasty, and it was only called Lingbao Tianzun or Lingbaojun in the Song Dynasty. According to the "Yunji Qixuan" quoting "Dongzhen Dadongzhen Sutra", Lingbao Tianzun is "the essence of jade, the purple smoke of Jiuqing, the jade radiance is bright, the gold reflects the flow of true nature, the formation and transformation are beautiful, the primordial spirit is condensed, the fetus mother is sent to the mother, and the body is cultivated to be a human being." "A Brief Record of Lingbao" says, "The Taishang Dadao king was found in the Western Luna Jade Kingdom in the first year of Kaihuang, and was conceived in the Hong family's corpse. He was concentrating the spirit and Qiongfei for 3,700 years, and was born on the side of the Yuedan Xuan in Fuluo, Yucha Mountain, and the name was called Qidu, and the character Shang Kaiyuan. It was so long that he realized the truth of Dao, and sat under the dry mulberry, thought for a hundred days, and the Yuanshi Tianzun descended, and taught the Ten wonderful sutras of the Mahayana Dharma of Lingbao."
Su Si Gaoxian: The Lord of the Great Saint of Shangqing, Yuchen, has been assisting Yuanshi Tianzun since he received the sutras and practices at the place of Yuanshi Tianzun. He is in the second highest position of , 36 days, , and is above 34 days.

Lingbao saves people: According to the "Dongxuan Bianxing Sutra", Lingbao Tianzun uses the method of Lingbao to save people according to the world.From the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty to the first year of Chiming, after 990 billion kalpas, it was like a crowd of dust and sand that was invincible. Whenever you meet someone who is destined to be a student, if you ask questions, Lingbao Tianzun will not hesitate to teach you. The Heavenly Lord has thirty-six transformations and 72 transformations. If people want to see it, they will respond according to their feelings. They can reach their own body in tens of thousands of places.

In the large-scale Taoist rituals of fasting and sacrifice, there are also many three pure divine positions, and the Lingbao Tianzun is in the left position of Yuanshi Tianzun. The birthday of the God of Lingbao Tianzun is the summer solstice, which is around the middle of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. The people's offerings on the summer solstice are often based on the spiritual treasure heavenly master
Dharmatian Tianzun
Innate Tianzun -Dharmatian Tianzun
The origin of the Daotian Tianzun: Daotian Tianzun is one of the highest gods of Taoism "Three Pure Ones", namely Laozi . It was also known as the Emperor Taishang Laojun since the Northern Wei Dynasty. Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty collected the biography of Lao Tzu seen in a series of books, either called Lao Tzu born in heaven or earth, or that his mother was born 72 years pregnant and had white hair, so she was called Lao Tzu. Some people also say that his mother was born under a plum tree, and she was born and able to speak, referring to a tree and her surname was "Li". According to the "Laozi Inscription" by Chen Xiangbian Shao in the eighth year of Yanxi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lao Tzu "is separated and merged with the chaotic energy, and was the beginning and end with the three lights", "The Tao becomes the incarnation, and the cicada passes through the world." Tao Hongjing, Gaodao of Qiliang, identified Taiqing Taishang Laojun as the fourth middle position, and lived in Tai Chi Palace in Taiqing Realm, which is the 34th day of the thirty-six days, above the thirty-three days. "Shi Laozhi" in "Book of Wei" says that the Taishang Laojun "is at the top of Yujing, and is the sect of the Divine King; and is at the bottom of Ziwei, and is the lord of the Feixian." In the Tang Dynasty, the royal family took Laozi and Li Er as the same surname, worshipped the Taishang Laojun , and added the honorary title. Emperor Gaozong of Tang The Supreme Lord is the "Emperor of Taishang Xuanyuan", and the title of Emperor Xuanyuan of Tang The Third Lord of Tang is called "The Great Saint Ancestor Gaoshang Dadao Jinque Xuanyuan Emperor."
The Incarnation of Tao: "Yunji Qixuan" says, "Laozi is Laojun, and this is the body of Tao. The ancestor of the vitality is the foundation of heaven and earth. The essence of the great way comes from nature. , born in the form of nothingness, first in the form of nothingness, stand in the form of the emptiness, cultivate the universe. It is called the supreme and true way, and the magic is slightly far away and cannot be named. Therefore, it is said: I am born in the form of nothingness, start before Taichu, grow at the end of Taishi, and move at the element of Taisu. Floating out of the emptiness, going out in the darkness. Looking at the unjust judgment of chaos, looking at the undivided distinction of clear and turbidity, walking in the wilderness of the universe, and experiencing the tribes of things. Laojun is the true energy of the essence, and the creation of nature is natural."
As a saint: After the Fushu family and Shennong, the Taishang Laojun has been transformed into the world for many generations. He was the Master of Xuanzhong when the Three Emperors was the Emperor of Jinque when the Three Emperors were the Emperor of Jinque when the Three Emperors were the Emperor of Fushu. He was Yu Huazi when the Four Emperors was the Emperor of Jiuling when the Shennong when the Shennong when the Zhurong when the Guangshu was the Prince of Guangcheng when the Huangdi, he was the Red Sperm when the Zhuanxu when the Emperor was the Emperor of Chi Tuzi, he was the Emperor of Lu Tuzi when the was the Emperor of Wucheng when the Yao was the Emperor of Wucheng, he was the Emperor of Shun when the Shun when the Emperor of Xia and Yu, he was the Emperor of Zhenxing when the Yin Tang, he was the Emperor of Xi Zezi when the King of Wen, and so on. He has been a teacher of saints for generations.
Sacrificial: The Three Pure Halls in Taoist palaces all have statues or positions of the gods of the Taishang Laojun. The statue of the god is often made of a white-bearded and white-haired old man, holding a feather fan in his hand, and is on the right side of Yuanshi Tianzun. In the large-scale Taoist rituals of fasting and rituals, there are also gods of Taishang Laojun, and they are also on the right side of Yuanshi Tianzun. The birthday of the Taishang Laojun, the god of the Daode Heavenly Lord, is the fifteenth day of the second lunar month. Taoism takes the ancestor of Taishang Laojun, and most of them hold birthday parties or pray for blessings and longevity.
Jade Emperor
Innate God—Jade Emperor
Origin of the Jade Emperor: Jade Emperor is abbreviated as Jade Emperor, also known as Haotian Golden Palace Supreme Jade Emperor, and Xuanqiong Gaoshang Jade Emperor. Both Zhenzong and Huizong of the Song Dynasty had holy names. Song Zhenzong The holy name is Taishang Kaitian Zhengshi Yuli Han Zhenti Taoist Jade Emperor. The prestigious name of the Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was the Emperor of the Emperor of the Emperor of the Great Kaitian Kaitian. The Taoist scriptures are full of the name "The Supreme Supreme of the Golden Palace of Haotian" and "The Supreme Jade Emperor". According to the "Great Jade Emperor's Collection of Works", the Jade Emperor is the son of King Yan Lile and Queen Bao Yueguang in the Heavenly Realm. When you are born, the body is filled with the flames of treasure and the kingdom.Being smart and wise young, being kind and kind, keeping treasures in the country, and dispersing all sentient beings who are poor, poor, widowed, lonely, have no place to rely on, and are hungry and disabled. After King Qingle passed away, the prince had a good rule and ordered the ministers to bow down to all living beings. He then left the country to go to Xiangyan Mountain in Puming to practice Taoism. After 3,200 kalpas, he began to achieve the Golden Immortal. He was named the Emperor of Natural Awakening, and after 100 million kalpas, he began to achieve the Jade Emperor.
The Emperor of All Gods: The Jade Emperor is the emperor of the heavens, the king of immortals, and the lord of the holy master. The highest god of all gods in the three realms and the immortals in the three caves. The Jade Emperor has the power to control the Nine Heavens Classes and summon the gods of the Four Seas and Five Mountains. All gods followed him, just like emperors and ministers in the world. Bai Juyi wrote a poem saying, "An Qi envies his disciples and serves like ministers. He pays homage to the Jade Emperor and bows his head to the front to express his sincerity."
The way of heaven: Jade Emperor is the incarnation of the Three Pure Ones. The Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor are like nothingness first and then wonderful existence, first Wuji first and then Taiji, first without action and then there is action. Therefore, the Jade Emperor is the master of the three talents and controls the equal axis of heaven, earth and man. The Jade Emperor sent Ziwei Beiji Emperor to take charge of the heaven and earth for the wei, and sent Gou Chen Shanggong Emperor to take charge of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and to master the war between the people, and to send the queen earth emperor earth emperor earth emperor yin and yang birth, the earth and mountains and rivers. All things in the world, yin and yang are all under the control of the Jade Emperor.
Teneting: The day of the Jade Emperor's birthday is the ninth day of the first lunar month. Taoist palaces and temples will hold a golden talisman ceremony, called the "Jade Emperor Association". Taoist priests and Taoist believers who participate in the rituals must worship the Jade Emperor and perform the "fasting heaven" ceremony to pray for blessings and prolong life. People in Fujian and Taiwan Province call the Jade Emperor "God of Heaven". On the ninth day of the first lunar month, we will "worship God" and the family will fast and bathe, burn incense and chant scriptures, and chant scriptures in some places. In the past, there was also the custom of holding Jade Emperor Festival and carrying the statue of Jade Emperor to visit the village and patrol the streets. December 25th said that it was the day when the Jade Emperor was patrolling the world. In the old Taoist temples and the people had to burn incense and chant scriptures to welcome and see off the Jade Emperor.

The so-called "Liuhe" refers to the huge space of the universe, namely, the upper, lower, and four directions (east, west, south, and north).
After the Song Dynasty, as the Jade Emperor's position and function in the Taoist divine system were strengthened, the "Jade Emperor" and "Qinghua Emperor" were also removed for the classification of the four auxiliary materials of Futai Taoist scriptures (Taiqing, Taiping, Taixuan, Zhengyi), and became today's "Four Emperors"------interpreted as the Heavenly Emperor of the North, South, West and East, namely: the North Pole Ziwei Emperor, the South Pole Changsheng Emperor, the Gou Chen Shanggong Emperor and Chengtian followed the example of the Houtu Emperor Dizhi.

In ancient China, there was a god of earth, namely Houtu, who was responsible for the creation of yin and yang and the beauty of mountains and rivers. After Taoism, Tu was one of the four gods second only to the Three Pure Ones, and the god name was Chengtian and emulated the virtues and glorified Houtu Emperor Earth God. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoism's theory of cosmic creation developed greatly, and it distinguished the heaven where gods and immortals lived. The "Supreme Secrets" written by Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has the "Three Realms", which divides heaven into the twenty-eight heavens (desire realm, form realm, and formless realm), and the four Brahma heavens above the formless realm, which combine into thirty-two heavens. The "Sutra of Saving People" also has a thirty-two-day theory, which is arranged in four directions, southeast, west and north, with eight days in each direction, which is thirty-two days. Yan Dong's notes in the Northern Qi Dynasty said, "There are eight days in the same place, which is thirty-two days. Three heavens are the ones above." In the Tang Dynasty, there was also "Da Luo Tian Mi over the Three Pure Ones", which was combined into thirty-six heavens. Thirty-six days each has a heavenly emperor. According to the theory of heaven and earth, Taoism believes that there are thirty-six heavens above and thirty-six earths below. There is the Emperor of Heaven above and the Emperor of Earth below. Therefore, the Earth Emperor is the chief god of all lands. "The Cave Xuan Lingbao River Map and Thank the Thirty-Six Earth Emperor's Essay" states that "according to the method of the cave god, set up a wall to set up a place for thirty-six days, burn incense and lamps to thirty-six grounds."

Sacrifice: Among the larger Taoist temples, there are statues or gods of Houtu in the four imperial palaces, and few are listed in the thirty-six statues or gods of the earth emperors. However, in large-scale fasting and rituals, the throne of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Emperors and the Thirty-Six Earth Emperors are mostly worshipped. Since the Tang Dynasty, with the widespread popularity of Feng Shui, Taoist believers often hold vegetarian ceremony to thank the Tuhuang when driving ground, raising beams, raising houses, building bridges, and paving roads to pray for smooth roads and bridges, peace of homes, and blessings and elimination of disasters.

The Queen Mother of the West
The origin of the Queen Mother of the West: The Queen Mother of the West, commonly known as the Queen Mother of the West, also known as the Queen Mother of the West, the Queen Mother of the Gold and the Golden Mother Yuanjun. The full name is the White Jade Turtle Platform Jiuling Taizhen Gold Mother Yuanjun, the White Jade Turtle Platform Jiufeng Taizhen Queen Mother Queen Mother or the Tailing Jiuguang Turtle Platform Gold Mother Yuanjun. The name of Queen Mother of the West was first seen in "Shan Hai Jing". "Western" refers to the direction, and "Queen Mother" means the name of the god. The Queen Mother of the West is formed by the chaotic Taoist qi, which is the most wonderful qi of the Western Chinese and beautiful qi. The surname is Hou, and the position is matched to the West. "The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of Han" says that when the Queen Mother of the West went to the hall, she "worn a golden mat, with a bright literary talent, a generous and elegant style, with a large spiritual ribbon, a sword with a split-eye sword on her waist, a Taihua bun on her head, a Taizhen Chenying crown, and a Xuanfengwen tie. She could see that she could be around thirty years old, and she would be short and elegant, with a peerless face." Emperor Wu of Han received the order of the Queen Mother of the West. "Shan Hai Jing" says that the Queen Mother of the West is a human body and tiger teeth, and the leopard tail and head are swollen. It is the God of the White Tiger in the West, and it is not the form of the Queen Mother of the West.
The Sect of Female Immortals: The Queen Mother of the West is the Sect of Female Immortals. She lives between Kunlun and has a city of thousands of miles, a twelve Jade Towers, a palace of Qionghua, a hall of Guangbi, a nine-story Yuan Room, a purple and green Dan Room, a Yao Pool on the left, and a Cuishan on the right. "Baowu Zhi" states that there are peach trees in the Yao Pond, which is "a life-like life for three thousand years." Those who have attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality in the heavens, in the three realms and ten directions are all under the jurisdiction of the Queen Mother of the West.
In the orthodox Taoist divine system, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West are not husband and wife. The Queen Mother of the West is formed by the condensation of innate yin energy. It is the head of all female immortals and is in charge of Kunlun Immortal Island. The first of all male immortals is the Eastern Prince formed by the condensation of innate yang energy, who is in charge of Penglai Immortal Island. The Jade Emperor is the head of the immortals and the lord of the gods. The Queen Mother of the West appeared earlier than the Jade Emperor, so they were not husband and wife. Only Chinese folk stories and novels believe that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are husband and wife.
Cherishing all things: Yuanshi Tianzun gave the Queen Mother of the West to use the talisman of the nine lights of Guishan, to summon all spirits, to integrate the true saints, to supervise the alliance to prove their faith, to generalize the feathers of the heavens, and to supervise the examinations of the saints. The Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East are also the parents of Tao Qi and Yin and Yang. They share the two Qi, nurture the heaven and earth, and cultivate all things. When Huangdi attacked Chiyou, Chiyou changed in many ways, calling the wind and rain, blowing smoke and spraying mist. The Queen Mother of the West immediately sent the Nine Heavens Xuannv to teach Huangdi the three palaces, five meanings, and the strategy of Yin and Yang, Taiyi Dun Jia Liuren Step Dou, the mechanism of Yin Talisman, and the text of the five talismans of Lingbao. Huangdi then defeated Chiyou in Zhongji. After Yu Shun ascended the throne, the Queen Mother of the West sent envoys to give white jade rings, white jade pendants and maps, and Shun soon expanded the nine states of Huangdi into twelve states.
Sacrifice: In "The Biography of Emperor Wu of Han", there is a story about the Queen Mother of the West that gave the Peach Banquet for 3,000 years. Therefore, the story of the Queen Mother of the West holding the Peach Banquet is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Taoism and the people have always regarded Queen Mother of the West as the symbol of longevity, and used Queen Mother of the West as the main god of the Golden Talisman's Extended Life Temple. On the birthday of Queen Mother of the West, one said it was the third day of the third month and the other said it was the eighteenth of July. Taoists, especially female believers, often gathered in Taoist temples to build a birthday temple for Queen Mother of the West, and pray for health and longevity.

Dongwang and Queen Mother of the West are the Eastern Princess who respect the gods of Taoism, also known as "Mu Gong" and "Emperor Donghua".The name of the Eastern Prince appeared several centuries later than that of the Queen Mother of the West. In short, the "deeds" of the Eastern Prince is far less specific than the "deeds" of the Queen Mother of the West. Just because he is the pairing god of the Queen Mother of the West. Since the Queen Mother of the West is the leader of the female immortal, the Eastern Prince will naturally become the leader of the male immortal.
Like Queen Mother of the West, during the Tang and Northern Song dynasties, there was no Eastern prince or Duke listed in the list of Taoist priests' rituals. It was first included in the Southern Song Dynasty and has always been before Queen Mother of the West. In the list of the ritual gods of Zhongli in the Southern Song Dynasty, he ranked 19th, named "Donghua Mugong Daojun"; in the list of 360 true spirits in the "Santan Setting Ceremony" of Jin Yunzhong of the Southern Song Dynasty, he ranked 10th, named "Donghua Xiangmugong Qingtong Emperor"; in the "Huangluo Lu 1,200% Volume" of Lu Yuan of the Southern Song Dynasty (Issue 3 of "Daomen Customization"), he was the first god invited by the ninth chapter, named "Shuifu Emperor Fusang", and ranked first among the gods of the Shuifu.
Although the name of the Eastern Prince appeared after the Queen Mother of the West, because he was a male, his status in Taoism was higher than that of the Queen Mother of the West, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin and Yuan dynasties. When the two sects of the South and North were preparing to merge, they all rushed to find their ancestors, and finally they took the East Prince as the common ancestor. The source can be traced back to the Warring States Period. At that time, Chu believed in the god "Donghuang Taiyi", also known as "Dongjun", which was the deified sun god (Sun Star Lord), which was the predecessor of the Dongwang. Originally, he was a male god in ancient Chinese mythology. Later, he was added with Taoism to be regarded as the leader of the male immortals, and the two sects in the south and north were regarded as the ancestors.
There are nine grades of immortals, one is the Nine Heavenly True Emperor, two days and three days and three days and three days and one is the Taishang True Man, four is the Feitian True Man, five is the Lingxian, six is the True Man, seven is the Lingren, eight is the Feixian, and nine is the Immortal. In this level, when you ascend to immortality and attain enlightenment, you must first worship Mu Gong (the Eastern Prince) and then visit Jin Mother (the Western Prince). Then you must be promoted to the Nine Heavens, enter the Three Qing Dynasties, worship the Supreme Lord and observe Yuanshi. Therefore, there was a children's song at the beginning of the Han Dynasty: "Wear a green skirt, enter the Tianmen, bow to the mother of Jin, and worship Mu Gong." No one at that time knew that, only Zhang Zifang looked at it and said, "This is the child of the Dongwanggong." It claimed that in the past, Yuanshi Tianzun told the heavenly people of the ten directions, "I made my own words of chaos, transformed into two rituals, and controlled the Yin and Yang, and then I was granted the Emperor Yuanjun. Since Donghua supported the Yang of Sang Dadi, I was granted the Emperor Yuanjun. Since Donghua Fusang Emperor measured the water and fire, and settled the number of disasters. In the first year of Zhonghuang, the Supreme Emperor taught the Emperor Treasure Sutra wreath jade tips at the Jinfu House of Yuqing, and asked the people who passed on the jade name Hezhen to learn the name of jade." Therefore, "Xuangang" says: "Donghua is not secreted by the Zhenjie." Zifu is the place where Emperor Donghua taught the merits and practices. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was said that there were three islands in the sea, and ten continents were among them: the three continents on the upper island were Penglai, Fangzhou, and Yingzhou , the three continents on the middle island were Meirong, Langyuan, and Yaochi, and the three continents on the lower island were Chicheng, the gateway, and Taoyuan. The three islands and nine continents stand in the middle of the Hongmeng. There is a Zifuzhou between the three islands, which is the position of Emperor Donghua, and competes with the merits of immortals, from earth immortals to gods, from gods to heaven, from heaven to true saints, and entering the place of the Void Cave Heaven. All these three migrations were under the supervision of Emperor Donghua. According to the first explanation of the "Three Professors' Gods Collection", it says: "Donghua is born with the transformation of the qi of the Emperor Donghua, and is divided into the East and above Donghua. The Zifu is the position of Zifu, and is in charge of the 35th and fourth corps. It is moved to Dongxu Palace to be a relatively high-quality true immortal. Yang is the qi of the Eastern Shaoyang, and is a gathering of all the generations. The Emperor is the emperor, the emperor is the lord of the heavens in the east, and the lord of the saints in the east, and is the master of life." Therefore, the "Book of Changes" says: "The emperor is out of the shaking." Therefore, it is known as "The Emperor Shaoyang Emperor of the East Purple Palace". The "Zhenjiao Yuanfu Jing" also says: "The two rituals have not been divided before, and the sea dregs are like chickens, and nature is born in the mysterious yellow. There is a Pangu Zhenren who moves the past to the present, which is called Pangu, which is the essence of heaven and earth. He calls himself Yuanshi Heavenly King and marches in the void. There is also a Taiyuan Holy Mother who transforms into the heavenly ridge. After hundreds of kalpas, the Heavenly King performs the gifts. The Holy Mother of the Holy Mother has been born in the first year of Shanghuang. He was 36,000 years old. He was ordered by the Emperor of Yuanshi and was the Emperor Dongmu, and was called Yuanyang.
