Tailaojun occupies a very important position in ancient myths and legends of China. He is the founder of Taoism, the founder of heaven and earth, with lofty cultivation and magical power. There are many myths related to him. The immortal role of Mr. Throne appears in many mythical film and television works, so who is the actor of Mr. Throne?

Tailaojun's beard is fluttering, his hair is full of silver hair, he is wearing a Taoist robe, and he is holding the dust in his hand, which is already a classic image in people's hearts. In many mythical film and television works, the actor of Tailaojun appears as such an old god. Although the overall image of Taishang Laojun is fixed, the actors in different film and television works are also different. The mythical lotus lantern is played by Benchang You. The old The Journey to the West was played by Zheng Rong and Huaili Yan, and the new The Journey to the West was played by Zhang Jizhong. Generally speaking, they are all older actors. Interestingly, actor Huaili Yan played as many as ten other roles besides the role of the old man in The Journey to the West.
Zhang Jizhong, the producer of the new version of The Journey to the West, personally shaved off his black beard and stuck on a long white beard, and turned himself into an old fairy and an old gentleman through makeup. Compared with other actors, the old gentleman he plays is a bit more domineering. Although it is difficult to recognize the actor's true colors after wearing clothes because of the special effects of beard and makeup, Lao Juntai's sage like style and his temperament of caring for everyone in the world still need to be expressed by expressions and body language. As a film producer in Zhang Jizhong, Taishang Laojun is not a professional actor, but he has successfully performed his role.
What is Mr. Taishan?
Speaking of Journey to the West, there is a story about an old gentleman's mount, which came down from the sky secretly. I believe everyone will be familiar with it. The beast sneaked into the world, but it made the four of them miserable. They were arrested one after another, complaining bitterly. Finally, the old man was invited to comfort him. So where is the old gentleman on Mount Tai? Why is there such a profound magic that even the Tang Priest and his disciples can't surrender?

It is reported that the mount of Taishang Laojun is. Although the one-horned king we saw in The Journey to the West is male, according to records, "Zi" and "Si" are homophonic, meaning "female rhinoceros", so this one-horned king should be a leprechaun. Speaking of this demon, it is also very powerful. Even Taishang Laojun had a great effort to calm down. It is said that the mount of Taishang Laojun when he was a child was called Shenniu. These sacred cows are extremely scary. At first glance, it looks like an elephant, but its nose is not as long as an elephant. Its eyes are as big as two bells and its hooves are as big as a bowl. It makes a very loud cry, which is frightening.
One day, while playing with his friends, the young Taishang Laojun happened to meet the leading cow rushing down the mountain and wanted to eat them. But the old gentleman in Taishang is not a man who gives in easily, so he is deadlocked with the god cow and picks up the sickle like a cow's stomach. When the cow saw it, she was in a hurry and rushed to the old gentleman in Taishang crazily. Grandpa Laojun picked up a sickle again and cut it on a cow's hoof. The bull whose hoof was cut off could not move and had to give up. Other magical cows are afraid to make waves when they see that the leading cow has been subdued. That cow is now the old man's mount.
What is Tailaojun's real name?
Mention the old gentleman on the throne, the first thing that comes to mind is the old man with white beard in The Journey to the West. What's the name of the old gentleman on the throne? Is Tailaojun his name?

Tailaojun is the ancestor of Taoism, and in layman's terms, it is the deified realm of immortals. According to the relevant historical documents, the ancient Chinese people always thought that Lao Zi was the reincarnation of Tailaojun, and Tailaojun, as a famous mythical figure in ancient times, was born from the beginning of heaven and earth and lasted for a long time. His doppelganger was handed down from generation to generation on the earth, and then it came to the transformation of Laozi. As a famous thinker, the founding school founded Taoism, which was respected as the father of Taoism by later generations. Laozi's knowledge is deeper. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius also asked Laozi questions. He wrote the 5,000-word Laozi handed down from generation to generation. The two famous sayings "The cruelty of heaven and earth is the grass dog of all things" and "Laozi" are both taken from the Tao Te Ching. Laozi's Daoism can be traced back to the name of Laozi in What's the Name of Tailaojun? As one of hundred schools of thought in pre-Qin Dynasty, Laozi even influenced Confucianism, so others' textual research on Laozi was more detailed.
Laozi lived in the late Spring and Autumn Period of Qin Dynasty, and the year of birth and death is unknown. His book Tao Te Ching was widely circulated and was called a moral god by the later Buddha. In fact, his real name is Li Minger, his real name is Bai Yang, and he is called Lao Zi.
