He is also the god in charge of the demons in the Three Realms, so he also has a name called Zhen Wudang Mundus. He is in charge of the North Gate of Heaven. Because of his great power, even Monkey Sun, who was making a scene in the sky, dared not go.

Zhenwu the Great, one of the four Arctic sages of Taoism, occupies a high position in Taoism. Now the main god enshrined in Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province is Zhenwu the Great. It is said that his body is a dragon, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and it is said that Emperor Yanhuang is his son.

The status of the ancient Zhenwu emperor

Ming Dynasty was the period when Zhenwu Emperor became famous and folk beliefs were the most common. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Judy, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, launched the "Jing Nan Change" and seized the throne.

Legend has it that during the whole operation of the Prince of Yan, Emperor Zhenwu showed signs of helping. Therefore, after Judy ascended the throne, Zhenwu was named "the God of the Arctic Town", and a large-scale temple was built in Wudang Mountain, and a huge Taoist building complex including Bagong Erguan, Sanlian Hall, Seventy-two Rock Temple and Thirty-nine Bridges and Twelve Pavilions was built.

This makes Wudang Mountain a world-famous Taoist shrine, and there is a "Golden Hall" on the top of Tianzhu Peak, dedicated to the statue of Zhenwu Emperor. Thanks to the emperor's vigorous advocacy, Zhenwu Emperor's belief reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty, and a large number of Zhenwu temples were generally built in the imperial court and among the people.
