The Jade Emperor is a prominent deity in Chinese mythology and is regarded as the supreme ruler of heaven, determining how events transpired in the heavens and earth. To conduct the affairs of the universe, the emperor would summon all of the deities to his palace on the first of the year to appoint or promote them to various positions, which involved overseeing things such as war, wealth, water and time itself.
The origin of the Jade Emperor himself varies widely. In some lore, he was born as a regular human who achieved immortality and became the Jade Emperor. Other stories depict him as a deity who predated creation. The Jade Emperor is frequently shown seated on his throne, dressed in robes that are embroidered with dragons.
