Daoist Supreme God

Also known as Dao-De-Tian-Zong, Lao-Chun, Lao-Jun, Tai-Qing, Tao-Te-T'ien-Tsun

One of the Supreme Daoist Trinity

Member of the Sanqing trinity of supreme Daoist Gods.

Daode Tianzun is the deified form of Laozi, who formulated the Dao pathways and taught them to mankind. When not advising the Jade Emperor or attending Peach Banquets, he lives in the Great Pure Heaven (Tai Qing) where he refines his doctrine and contemplates the ineffable.

The Yin and Yang symbols adorn his fan of office, a measure of his importance. In fact he is held in the highest esteem and outranks even Yuanshi Tianzun, the creator of the Universe.
