In China's classical mythology, who are the immortals with low status but powerful bodyguards?

As we all know, our Chinese civilization has a long history and profound cultural background, especially the myth system is colorful and fascinating. Of course, the history is too long and profound, and it also has negative effects. It is too complicated to understand and record, and many things have lost their original appearance since they were spread to modern times.

This is a myth. China's myth system is very rich and chaotic. For example, in China mythology, who is the highest-ranking immortal? Many people can't answer, but Hong Jun came from a novel, Pangu appeared too late, and the Jade Emperor was even later. These details are too shallow to rank.

First, Fuxi. In ancient China, there was a habit of worshipping ancestors as gods. Sacrificing ancestors was a top priority in ancient times. Among the ancestors of Chinese civilization, Fuxi was the highest. In ancient books, Fuxi was recorded as the creator much earlier than Pangu. The so-called unprovoked excavation of the secret of Kun began when Emperor Xi painted it.

Of course, as the ancestor of Chinese civilization, Fuxi's human attribute is far greater than God's. It is said that Fuxi invented gossip, fishing and hunting, harp and writing. Fuxi, as the head of Huang San, has always been worshipped and respected by ancient emperors, especially the inventions of Eight Diagrams and the Book of Changes, which are the crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese civilization.

Second, the gods. Worship and belief in heaven is one of the oldest myths and beliefs in China. The emperor calls himself the son of heaven, which is what we often say in modern times? Oh, my god. Jesus Christ. In this case, this is the legacy of believing in heaven. The people revere nothing but the emperor, entrusted by heaven, so they are called gods and heavenly emperors.

The gods are the embodiment of heaven. The word "God" originally refers to the Emperor of Heaven in ancient China, so it should not be confused with the West. It is also the highest god of Confucian belief and has a far-reaching influence. So far, the highest god mentioned by the people is still? Jesus Christ. The Jade Emperor is an image of a god absorbed by Taoism.

Third, the ancient Emperor Tiandi recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas by Emperor Jun, but not recorded in many ancient books, is a myth system that has been lost. Later generations often confuse it with Di Ku, one of the Five Emperors. The emperor is the highest immortal in the sky and the ancestor of many tribal peoples.

According to legend, the emperor has two wives, one is Chang and the other is He. Di Jun and Chang xisheng were born in1February, and Xi He was born in 10. They are the fathers of the sun and the moon, and the highest immortals who created the world. The emperor belongs to another pedigree besides Yanhuang. Di Jun is regarded as the leader of the demon race in many novels, which is obviously just an adaptation of the novel.
