Being the highest ranking ruler in Chinese mythology or old folk legends,
just like Zeus is to Greek mythology, the jade emperor lives in the heavenly
 palace high above the clouds and sky. He controls all the gods of the
Buddhist and Taoist religions and those described in all mythological
stories. The Jade emperor is not only the highest ranked god worshiped
 by the Taoist but he also is the most well known and worshiped in the
 common Chinese people.There are sculpture of the Chinese Jade
 Emperor in Taoist religious temples all across China, where these
 temples are dedicated to him. The temples are called Jade Emperor
Temples matter of fact. Taoists set the Jade Emperor's
birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month. On that special day
 amazing rituals and sacrificial ceremonies are held in the Jade temples
everywhere in China.
