The ranking of officials in the imperial court was determined according to their official positions in ancient times. In ancient times, when officials went to court, the emperor sat facing south, while the officials sat facing north on the left and right sides. The ancients regarded the right side as a noble position, so important officials usually sat on the right side of the emperor, while lower officials sat on the left. In addition, according to the structure of ancient buildings, the hall was usually long from north to south and narrow from east to west. Therefore, when sitting in the hall, the south was respected. Generally speaking, the ranking of the imperial court was determined by the level of official positions and the structure of ancient buildings.
In China myths and legends, there were different systems and levels of divine positions in the Heavenly Court. In Taoism, the Three Pure Ones were the highest among the heavens. They were the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi of Yuqing, the Heavenly Lord Lingbao of Shangqing, and the Heavenly Lord Daode of Taiqing. They were the great gods at the beginning of the world's creation. The status of the Six Royals was also quite high, and the Jade Emperor was one of the actual leaders of Heaven. In the mythological system involved in the Investiture of the Gods, the Holy Mother of Gold Spirit was a very noble deity. She was in charge of the Golden Palace and the Dou Mansion. She was responsible for supervising the stars in the sky and maintaining the order of the universe. She was the Supreme One of the Purple Clouds in the North Pole. Her position in the Heavenly Court was second only to the Haotian God. She had great power. Even a high-level god like Bo Yikao had to salute her. Also, Huang Feihu had an extremely high status in the Netherworld. He was the leader of the Netherworld and controlled the order of life and death. However, in terms of the divine position system of the Heavenly Court, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother's divine position in the Heavenly Court was higher than Huang Feihu's. For example, the 365 gods conferred by Jiang Ziya also had their own positions, but in comparison, their positions were lower than some of the high-level gods mentioned above. For example, Jiang Ziya's ex-wife, Ma, was named a jinx. A jinx was a god that would bring bad luck to people. It was a lower god position in the celestial system. In short, the ranking of the gods in the celestial heavens was more complicated, and the status of the gods in different systems was different.
