Deities Deity Hoang Jade Names Pantheon Supreme
EDITORS COMMENTS
Yu-Hoang, also known as the Jade Emperor, is the supreme deity of the Chinese pantheon, holding a significant place in Chinese religion and mythology. This image of Yu-Hoang, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, dates back to 1915, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of China. The Jade Emperor, also known by his many other names such as Tianhuang Di, Taiyi Zhenren, and Shangdi, is believed to be the ruler of heaven and the father of all gods and deities. He is often depicted as an elderly, bearded man, seated on a dragon throne, with a jade tablet in his hand and a pearl in his forehead. The jade tablet in Yu-Hoang's hand symbolizes his power and authority, while the pearl represents the Dao, the ultimate reality and source of all things in the universe. The dragon throne underscores his celestial status and connection to the heavens. The Chinese pantheon is vast and complex, with countless deities and gods, each with their unique roles and responsibilities. Yu-Hoang, as the supreme deity, presides over all of them, maintaining the cosmic order and ensuring the harmony and balance of the universe. This photograph offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the Chinese religious and cultural heritage, providing a window into the beliefs and practices that have shaped Chinese history and continue to influence Chinese society today. The enduring image of Yu-Hoang, the Jade Emperor, serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the Chinese people and their deities, and the profound impact that religious traditions have had on Chinese culture and identity.
