First of all, the Queen Mother is one of the main members of Taoism. She is responsible for the spread of Confucian classics. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Queen Mother appeared in Taoist mythology. Her identity is a personal disciple of the founder of Taoism, Yuanshi Tianzun. Her main job is to spread Taoist thought to the world. After the Yuan Dynasty, the Empress Dowager's position in Taoism was even more respected. She was not only an immortal, but also one of the Seven Saints, and all the female immortals were under her jurisdiction.
In addition, the heavenly queen is not the wife of the jade emperor, they are just colleagues. In some records, the heavenly queen actually took charge of the whole heaven long ago, and the jade emperor appeared in heaven later; After that, the queen mother brought the female fairy into her own management scope, while the male fairy was all managed by the jade emperor, so the queen mother can be said to be the superior leader of the jade emperor.
Of course, the surname of the Queen Mother has always been a mystery, and few people know the name of the Queen Mother. In fact, there are many versions of the surname of the Queen Mother, but it is more acceptable for the Queen Mother to come from the Hou Shi family. In the records of ethnic minorities, there is a fairy named Asini Mo, who has extraordinary creative ability, so this goddess is also considered as the Queen Mother.
