What is the identity of the Jade Emperor?

The jade emperor is actually a mortal. The folk name of the Jade Emperor is Zhang Bairen, which is one of his names. People usually call him that. Zhang Bairen is a great man who practiced for the tenth time. When he was a man in his last life, he had a good reputation among the people and people around him liked him very much.

At that time, the whole heaven was leaderless and the sky was out of order, so the immortals decided to choose a mortal from the common people, let him soar to the top of the fairy, become the jade emperor, and manage the immortals in the heaven, so they chose Zhang Bairen, because he was the tenth good man and attached to the tenth, and he had an excellent reputation among the people, only doing good things and not doing bad things.

So I chose Zhang Bairen. On the day when Chamberlain ascended to heaven, his whole family, including his wife, children and servants, and even his chickens and dogs ascended to heaven with him. Therefore, there is a saying that "chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", which comes from here. Chamberlain became the Jade Emperor after he ascended to heaven!
