Talk:Jade Emperor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Trial Length
There seems to be some discrepancy regarding the amount and length of the trials the Jade Emperor faces between the Origin of the Jade Emperor section and the Jade Emperor vanquishing Evil section. Were there 1,750 trials, each lasting 120,976 years, or 3,200 trials each lasting 3 million years? Pnkrockr 18:55, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
It should be, because Yuk Wong is just the Cantonese pronounciation of Yu Huang (Mandarin).
[edit] are they the same?
I don't think so.
They are the same. Yuk Wong (Cantonese) is the same as Yu Huang (Mandarin)
[edit] Translations
Are these really good glosses for the characters given?
- Grandpa Heaven (天公 Tiān Gōng) ... the Pure August Jade Emperor or August Personage of Jade (玉皇上帝 Yu Huang Shangdi or 玉皇大帝 Yu Huang Dadi)
天公: looks like "Duke of Heaven", but I can see where "grandpa" might be implied
玉皇上帝: looks "Jade Emperor the High God" to me
玉皇大帝: I would say "the Great Sovereign Jade Emperor" or "the Great August Jade Emperor"
Correct me if I'm wrong. - Nat Krause 20:31, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
