In Chinese mythology, these eight immortals did have their own people in history. According to the Book of Tang, Zhang Guo claimed to be born at the time of Yao Shun, and was revered as Zhang Guolao because of his unpredictable longevity.
The collective name of the Eight Immortals originated in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the members of the Eight Immortals were different in different periods, but in general, li, Zhong Liquan (Han Zhongli), Lü Dongbin, Zhang Guolao, Cao Guo's uncle, Han Xiangzi, Lan Cai, and these several had a solid position, He Xiangu was often kicked out, and was successively replaced by Xu Shenweng, Zhang Silang, and Xuan Xuanzi, and it was not until the middle of the Ming Dynasty that He Xiangu gained a firm foothold in the Eight Immortals.
He Xiangu was repeatedly expelled from the Immortals, largely because of her few miracles, unlike Lü Dongbin, whose legends were full of legends. He Xiangu was also a Tang Dynasty native, commonly known as He Erniang.
History is sometimes an unclear thing, He Xiangu's position in the Eight Immortals is precarious, but this does not harm her ranking in the Eight Immortals, folklore is Lü Dong Bindu's He Xiangu, but in the authoritative work "Journey to the East", which completely records the legend of the Eight Immortals, the order of the Eight Immortals is as follows: Tie Quan Li, Zhong Liquan, Lan Caihe, Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, Lü Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, cao Guo uncle.
Little asshole-like lan cai and ranked third, He Xiangu ranked before Lu Dongbin, whether you doubt life, but the original is like this, interested netizens can find "Journey to the East" to see, reality sometimes has a big gap with our impression.
The eight immortals after the stereotype have an allegory, and these eight immortals represent eight aspects, such as male, female, old, young, rich, noble, poor, and lowly.
The magic tools used by the Eight Immortals are called the "Dark Eight Immortals", and these eight artifacts help the Eight Immortals to show their divine powers when they cross the East Sea.
The Eight Immortals did not greet the Dragon King, and crossed the East Sea in a high-profile manner, causing the Dragon King to be dissatisfied, and the two sides fought a big fight, and finally stopped at the mediation of Guanyin, why did the Eight Immortals cross the sea? This is a question that many people have not thought about.
In fact, the motivation is quite nonsensical, wine-top.
Lü Dongbin is a Penglai person, the eight immortals in The Lü Dongbin family AA dinner, each with food, exquisite food, wine mellow, eight immortals are drunk high, the boss Iron Kidnapper Li said, Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou is the three gods on the sea, the scenery is beautiful, the two islands I have not yet gone up, everyone does not take a boat, with their own magic tools to swim past how? So a group of people came to the East China Sea, gourds, fans, flower baskets, fishing drums, lotuses, flying swords, holes, and wat boards carrying brothers and sisters who rode the wind and waves.
Everything in the back was known, and the Dragon King fought.
Eight immortals crossing the sea is actually a trouble, coastal fishermen still have the taboo of "seven men and one woman different boats".
