"Heaven Emperor", the emperor who rules the heavens, is the highest god in charge of the world. Do you know who the gods were in the past?

Heaven and earth, the supreme ruler in China mythology, ruled heaven and the world. The Supreme God changed with different dynasties, such as offering sacrifices to the Qin Dynasty, Gong Ling offering sacrifices to the two emperors of Yanhuang, and offering sacrifices to the four emperors after the reunification of Qin Dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty joined Hei Di on the basis of the Four Emperors, which was called the Five Gods. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yitai has become the supreme god, surpassing the five parties. In ancient China, due to the change of dynasties and the integration of nationalities, the supreme gods they worshipped were also different. However, since the prosperity of Confucianism, the highest gods in China's major myths have been replaced by gods, and the gods have been the official orthodox sacrifices to the highest gods of all ages until the end of the Qing Dynasty's demise of China's monarchy.

In the ancient Xia Dynasty, tribal leaders such as Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi were worshipped. The Emperor of Heaven worshipped by Shang Dynasty may be Di Ku. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of Heaven was Taiyi. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the Jade Emperor dreamed that the Taoist and Confucian heavenly emperors merged together and were called the Jade Emperor. With the wide spread of The Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor became more well known.

In ancient times, people liked to refer to the leaders of tribal alliances as the Emperor of Heaven, such as Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku and Tang Yao, and they were honored as the Emperor of Heaven in various pre-Qin history books.

During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, kings of all dynasties respected their ancestors as heavenly emperors, such as the heavenly emperor Dayu in the Xia Dynasty and the heavenly emperor Di Ku in the Shang Dynasty.

Haotian (God) exists as the standard sacrificial object of the rulers of Chinese civilization. It should be noted that Hao Tian does not depend on a certain religion, but on the myths and beliefs of a nation.

"Sui Shu Etiquette": "The greeting at five o'clock belongs to the emperor, worshiping the five elements, not worshiping heaven. Heaven is called emperor, also known as God, and also called emperor. The emperor of the five elements can also be called God, not Heaven. "
