Wow, Emperor Form.
ReplyDeleteYup, they do it in Emperor form. In Jie Tian Temple, they address this Statue as Yu Xu Shi Xiang (玉虛師相), which is the Official Title of Xuan Tian Shang Di.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see.
ReplyDeleteUsually, Yu Xu Shi Xiang is used to address Xuan Tian Shang Di in Emperor Form?
Not really, but for normal Taoists or Chinese, they tend to relate Yu Xu Shi Xiang as Emperor Form, which actually is not accurate.
ReplyDeleteVery holy WOW..
