What is the best thing about the Eight Immortals crossing the sea? What is He Xiangu's musical instrument?

In the traditional myth system, although the status of the Eight Immortals is not very high, its popularity is very wide. From princes and nobles to ordinary people, the story of the Eight Immortals is a household name. We often say that "the Eight Immortals crossed the ocean and showed their magical powers" is a fragment of many legends related to the Eight Immortals.

The protagonists in this clip are (Li Xuan), Han Zhongli (Zhong Liquan), Zhang (Zhang Guo), Lv Dongbin (Lv Yan), He Xiangu (He Qiong), Lan Caihe (Xu Jian), Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu (Cao Jingxiu). In fact, this list was not finalized until the Ming Dynasty. Prior to this, this list has changed to varying degrees in various dynasties. Therefore, it is necessary for us to find out the "most" of the Eight Immortals from the changes in this list:

The Eight Immortals in "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Showing Their Magical Powers" are well-known mythical figures, including Han Zhongli, Zhang, Lan Caihe, He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu. However, there were many versions of the Eight Immortals in history, and it was not until Wu Yuantai of Ming Dynasty wrote "Journey to the East, the Origin of the Eight Immortals" (referred to as "Journey to the East") that he was determined to be the hero of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea as we know it today. So what exactly do these eight immortals do?

Tie Guai Li: King Zhen is a good medicine to save the world. There are rumors that Tie Guai Li's mother was seriously ill, and she finally borrowed money to buy some medicine for her mother, and there was no firewood at home until half the time. Now, it's no use if she goes to find firewood medicine. Tie Guai Li hastily put her leg in for firewood, but when she took it out, she was already disabled. Tie Guai Li got this title by using the red-hot iron bar in the pot as a crutch. Later, Tie Guai Li became a monk, a fairy and one of the Taoist drug gods.

Han Zhongli: Zhengyang enlightened the fax king, and Zhengyang enlightened the emperor. Among the Eight Immortals, Han Zhongli is a big man with bare chest and a banana fan. Zhong Liquan, a general of the Han Dynasty, was framed by his boss's jealousy. On the way to escape, he met Emperor Donghua, who taught him profound Taoism. Zhong Liquan cultivated immortals in Kongtong Mountain. As the fifth ancestor of Quanzhen religion, his position is very high.

Lv Dongbin: Jade Qing's interior, Chun Yang's political police, Fu Di. Lv Zu began farming at the age of sixty-four. He is dissolute, informal, addicted to alcohol, able to write poems and lustful. The so-called "debauchery and wealth of Lv Dongbin" are the most popular people. The emperor is nothing, but Yu Qing's inner appearance is extraordinary. Jade Qing Holy Land is the Dojo of the first Buddha. Inside Jade Qing, to put it bluntly, it is the big housekeeper of Jade Qing Holy Land. The first Buddha is the first, and he is the second.

Zhang, the true monarch of Yin Fu Cave. Zhang, who claimed to be a native of Yaodi, was originally a single name and a fruit. Because he is the oldest, he is called Zhang, and he often lives in the "Zhongtiaoshan" in Shanxi to practice. Many people may think that Zhang is not the protagonist in the novel, but in fact, in Taoist stories, Zhang has a high position. He is a very important figure in Taoist alchemy, and one of the real monarchs of Taoism, Si single crystal is in Kyrgyzstan, and his position is higher than that of the Four Celestial Masters.

Han Xiangzi: Kai Yuan Yan Fa is a great exposition of educating the immortals in Puji. There are few records about Han Xiangzi in history. It is said that Han Xiangzi was the nephew of Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty, with a bohemian nature. He is not good at reading, but only likes drinking. Legend has it that Han Xiangzi devoted himself to feeding crocodiles in Xiexi (now Hanjiang River) in Chaozhou, and achieved great merit of immortality and helping the dead. The Jade Emperor gave him three principal books and three gold medals. In charge of thirty-three days and eighteen places of hell, in charge of good and evil on earth, in charge of the Four Seas Dragon King, in charge of the underworld and Fuzhou County God.

He Xiangu: The Goddess of Tzu Chi Treasure Returning to Yuan. He Xiangu is also the only lesbian of the Eight Immortals, formerly known as He Xiugu. Her father makes tofu, and she has been his helper since childhood. When I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I went to play in the wild and happened to meet Zhang, who was traveling in the clouds. Sanxian gave her peaches, jujubes and mica flakes. From then on, she no longer felt hungry and could predict the future. He Xiangu, who knows people's fortunes, is one of the Taoist "longevity stars".

Cao Guojiu: Tianbao has become a refined man. Cao Guojiu, formerly known as Cao Shu, was an uncle in Song Renzong period. Cao Guojiu's younger brother robbed civilians and bullied them. Cao Guojiu persuaded many times, but his younger brother refused to change his mind. Cao Guojiu thought that his younger brother might implicate himself, so he decided to hide in the mountains and concentrate on learning immortality. After being enlightened by Zhong Liquan and Lv Dongbin, he was awarded the "true secret". Cao Guojiu devoted himself to cultivating immortality, but he just didn't know what he would be responsible for after becoming an immortal.

Lan Caihe: Nothing. To put it bluntly, Lan Caihe is a prodigal son, proficient in wine-making skills, strong martial arts, and loves to rob the rich and help the poor. In memory of him, people became immortals. Because of its image of helping the people with righteousness in ancient China, and the homonym of "lottery" in its name, its full name is soft and easy to read, and it was chosen as the spokesperson of welfare undertakings in China.
