Who do people usually call God?

I really didn't think about who God refers to before, but I think it is very likely to refer to the jade emperor in ancient mythology. After all, in the ancient mythology of China, the Jade Emperor was the existence of maintaining world order. His men are in charge of the laws and regulations of the world. Just like the ancient emperor, he is a very powerful existence. I think the following points can prove that God refers to the Jade Emperor:

Argument 1: right.

As a pure Chinese descendant, I believe everyone grew up listening to ancient myths. In my impression, the Jade Emperor is a symbol of power. He is in charge of the punishment of human good and evil, the birth and death of people, the weather of heaven and earth, and so on. It is said that the greater the power, the greater the ability, so the people may say that God is the Jade Emperor.

Argument 2: Status.

As we all know, in the thousands of years' history of China, the Jade Emperor faced the emperors of ancient China. Just like the right of the Jade Emperor in heaven, the emperors of our country are also symbols of rights. I think it may be that in the past, the emperor was the most powerful person in the world, and the jade emperor had more power than the emperor, which also caused people to be more inclined to the powerful side when encountering things. Moreover, the jade emperor also lived in the sky and was the most powerful person in the sky. People also like to call the powerful person "Ye", so it is not wrong for the people to say that God is the jade emperor.

Judging from the above argument, God means that the Jade Emperor has no fault at all. After all, the jade emperor has a strong sense of existence among the people of all ages, so it is completely reasonable for everyone to call him a god.
