Ziwei Emperor
This amulet-style pendant is handcrafted by Taoist artisans. The enamel shell is carved from an alloy and coated with durable enamel, ensuring its color lasts for years (note: the color may oxidize naturally).
Obverse: This depicts the orthodox Taoist deity, "Purple Star Emperor," also known as "Ziwei Beiji Emperor," whose full title is "Zhongtian Ziwei Beiji Taihuang Emperor." He is a core member of the Taoist celestial ruling group. He ranks first among the "Four Heavenly Emperors" (the four great emperors assisting the Jade Emperor) and is considered the Jade Emperor's most important lieutenant in governing the universe, particularly responsible for controlling the laws of nature, the sun, moon, stars, and the natural climate.
- Spiritual Significance: The orthodox Taoist deity, "Purple Star Emperor," also known as "Ziwei Beiji Emperor," embodies the principle of "order" in Taoist cosmology. While not the supreme deity, he is the chief engineer maintaining the precise operation of the cosmic machinery. From the rotation of the sun and moon, the cycle of the seasons, to the stability of mountains and rivers, and the order of life and death, all are linked to his power. Understanding him allows us to understand how Taoism constructs the grand laws of the universe into a rigorous and orderly divine system of management through specific deities and their respective responsibilities.
- Symbodimentary Significance: The Purple Star Emperor symbolizes the center of the universe, eternal order, and unshakable authority. He represents the stability and regularity of the operation of the way of heaven.
Reverse: Engraved with the Taoist Hetu Luoshu.
Small yet powerful, this pendant makes a meaningful gift or a personal amulet.
