Han Xiangzi, a Tang Dynasty native, is said to have become one of the Eight Immortals because he followed Lü Dongbin to learn the Tao. According to the New Book of Tang dynasty lineage table, Han Xiangzi was the nephew of Han Yu, a great writer of the Tang Dynasty and a servant of the Punishment Department. The treasure in his hand is called Zijin Xiao, which is said to be made of a sacred bamboo in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea.

Legend has it that Han Xiangzi was born with fairy bones, walked spontaneously, was disgusted by the bustling and gorgeous things, and preferred to be idyllic and quiet. Beautiful people and beautiful women cannot let them be moved by it; fine wine and food cannot make them lose their minds. He devoted himself intently and diligently to cultivation and immersed himself in the study of Taoism. Han Yu repeatedly advised him to do a good job of learning, but Han Xiangzi replied, "What I have learned is different from what you have learned." Han Yu was furious and rebuked him.

One day, Han Xiangzi went out to visit the Taoist teacher, and happened to meet Lü Dongbin and Han Zhongli, so Han Xiangzi ran away from home, followed the two to learn the Tao, and obtained his true transmission. Han Xiangzi wanted to subdue Han Yu, but Han Yue did not believe in Taoism, so he first used spells to impress him. It was a year of severe drought, and the emperor ordered Han Yu to go to the South Temple to pray for the rain in the sky. Han Yu prayed many times, but did not see rain and snow falling from the sky, so he was in danger of being deposed. Dressed as a taoist, Han Xiangzi set up a sign on the street that read, "Betray the rain and snow." When someone saw this, he immediately informed Han Yu, and Han Yu immediately sent someone to ask him to pray together. Only to see the Taoist priest take the stage to do it, in an instant, the sky fell goose feathers heavy snow. However, Han Yu did not believe that this was due to Daoist techniques, so he said to the Daoist, "I asked for this snow, or did you ask for it?" The Taoist priest said, "I asked for it." Han Yu said, "What are the evidences?" The Taoist priest said, "This snow is three feet and three inches thick." Han Yue sent someone to measure it, and sure enough, as he said, Han Yu believed that Daoism was extraordinary.

One day, it was Han Yu's birthday, relatives and friends came to the door to congratulate them, and Han Yue set up a big banquet to entertain them. Xiangzi arrived unexpectedly and wished Han Yu a happy birthday. Han Yue saw that he was happy and angry, Xiangzi sat in the middle of the banquet, Han Yu asked him: "You have traveled abroad for a long time, I don't know if your learning has grown, please write a poem to express your ambition." Han Xiangzi opened his mouth and groaned:

Separated by green mountains and clouds, this place is my home;

With the yunxia liquid in his hand, Bin Chen sang the sunset.

Playing jasper cave, furnace refining white cinnabar;

Baoding stored the golden tiger, Shibata raised white crows,

One scoop of tibetan creation, three feet of new demons;

Unmade wine patrol, can bloom in an instant.

Someone can learn from me and see the fairy leaf together.

After listening to the poem he was chanting, Han Yu asked him, "Do you have the ability to create nature?" So Han Yu ordered him to make wine and blossom. Han Xiangzi immediately moved a wine bottle to the hall and covered it with a golden basin. After a while, I opened the bottle and looked at it, and the wine was finished. Han Xiangzi gathered the soil into piles again, and soon saw a blooming green flower, the flower was the same size as a peony, but the color was more gorgeous than the peony. There are two lines of gold characters on the flower: Where is the home of Yunheng Qinling? Snow and blue are not moving forward. Han Yu didn't understand what this meant. Xiangzi said: "The heavenly opportunity cannot be leaked, and it will be fulfilled in the future." "The guests in the room were all amazed. When the banquet dispersed, Han Xiangzi bid farewell to Han Yu again.

During the reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang, Han Yue provoked the anger of Emperor Xianzong because of his advice to the Buddha's bones, and he belittled Han More as a Chaozhou Assassin and limited his departure for a day. Han Yu left his wife and children and went to Chaozhou. After walking for less than a few days, the cold wind was sharp, the snow was heavy, and the servants around him left him, Han Yu walked alone, the snow was several feet deep, the horse was difficult to move forward, there was not a single family nearby, and he did not know where the road was. If you want to follow the path and retreat, there is no way back. The wind was blowing tightly, the snow was falling fast, and the snow was snowing. Han Yu was soaking wet, cold and hungry, and had nowhere to tell his sorrows. Han Yue was hungry and exhausted. The horse he rode could not withstand the wind and frost sword, and it was shattered. Just when Han Yue was desperate, he saw a person braving the severe cold and sweeping the snow, and he saw that it was Han Xiangzi. Han Xiangzi asked Han Yu, "Do you remember the connection written on the flower?" Han Yu asked, "What is this place?" Han Xiangzi replied, "This is Lan Guan." Han Yu sighed for a long time before he said, "Since things have such a fixed number, I will make up the connection of flowers for you."

"Moving to Languan to Show Nephew Sun Xiang"

A letter to the Ninth Heaven, the sunset of the Chaoyang Road eight thousand.

Want to eliminate the evils of the saints, ken will decay and waste years?

Where is the Yunheng Qinling home? Snow and blue are not moving forward.

Knowing that Ruyuan should be intentional, so as to collect my bones by the river.

So Han Yu and XiangZi went to Languan Fushe to spend the night, and Han Yu believed that what Xiangzi said was true. This night, Han Yue and Han Xiangzi were talking about exchanges and repairing the True Avenue, and Han Yue was satisfied and convinced, han Xiang sighed, "Even animals know affection, but people can't do it!" The world's fame and profit, in the end can end their lives, is a good ending. What a sad thing! Han Yu had already seen through the red dust at this time, and finally woke up and understood the wonders of the Immortal Dao. It is said that there are more than ten Xiangzi Temples in the country, because the Xiangzi Temple in the south gate of Xi'an is the place where Han Xiangzi cultivated into immortals. Therefore, the Xiangzi Temple in Xi'an has been the birthplace of Xiangzi culture and the ancestral court of xiangzi faith, and it is said that Xi'an Xiangzi Temple Street was named after the Xiangzi Temple. Because of the Xiangzi Temple, there is the prosperity of Xiangzi Temple Street, and the legend of Xiangzi here, when asked about the nearby residents, everyone will tell it.

In Chang'an, Han Xiangzi became an immortal, transformed into a person to live in the world, helped the poor and relieved the poor, punished the evil and promoted the good, guarded the stubborn, woke up to the world and warned the world, and established a perfect personality image in the minds of the people. "Where is the family of the clouds and the Qinling Mountains, and the snow embraces the blue and the horses do not move forward." The story of saving his uncle Han Yu is well known, as well as his many deeds of exorcism and exorcism, medicine and treatment, etc., which are widely spread in the folk, and the legends, anecdotes and anecdotes of Xiangzi in the ancient city of Xi'an, the place where Xiangzi became enlightened, are also of great educational significance.
