Initially Taibai Jinxing was the first person from Heaven that was to see Sun Wukong. After hearing of the appearance of Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor tasked Taibai Jinxing to summon him to Heaven. But after the Ming dynasty, as the classical novel Journey to the West was widely spread, in this novel Taibai Jinxing was an old male god and an envoy of the Jade Emperor, the ruler of Heaven. The goddess is in yellow with a cockscomb-like hat and a lute in her hands. Īccording to Taoist classical description, Taibai Jinxing is described as a goddess. Taibai Jinxing, responsible for rain, having been discovered and escorted back to his post, quickly brought rain to the parched region, and the weaving girls saved their skins by retiring to remote celestial palaces.

This escapade was uncovered during a celestial inquiry into the cause of a lengthy drought. Passing mention in several storytellers' tales reveals little about him, though one tale, a variant on the usual seduction story, claims that heaven was scandalized when Taibai Jinxing, charmed by two celestial weaving girls, was led off to a cave where he remained with them, alone, for forty-six days.
