How many women are there in the Eight Immortals?

There is only one woman in the Eight Immortals, and that is He Xiangu. The other seven are Han Zhongli, Zhang, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu, all male.

He Xiangu, formerly known as He Xiugu, was born on the seventh day of March in the Tang Dynasty. She is the daughter of He Tai, a tofu merchant in Xingui Town, Xiao Lou District, Zengcheng County, Guangzhou. She has been very clever since she was a child. /kloc-When she was 0/4 years old, she was lucky to meet Lv Dongbin.

Lv Dongbin gave her some mica sheets. From then on, she can know the fate of the world and often visit the immortals in Luofu Mountain. Later, her parents found her a husband named Feng. But He Xiugu refused to marry her, so on August 8 of that year, in front of her family, she plunged into the well.

Put one shoe in the well and leave the other on the platform. Then she drifted out of the river in Putian, Fujian, and the original well was connected with the river. At that time, it was said that this was a strange case, so there was a legend that Xiugu became an immortal.

In Guanggu Village, Yingshang City, Anhui Province, there is also a legend about He Xiangu: It is said that He Xiangu, the daughter-in-law of a family named He in Dongmen, was abused and opened a restaurant. One day, his mother-in-law and father-in-law were not in the restaurant, and seven beggars came.

He Xiangu felt sorry for him and gave him half a bowl of noodles left at home. Later, my mother-in-law went to the restaurant and found that the noodles were gone. She told the truth and was furious with her, demanding that He Xiangu find the seven beggars.

I found seven beggars, but they all had no money, so my mother-in-law took a washbasin and asked them to spit out their food. The beggar had to spit it out according to her mother-in-law's wishes. But her mother-in-law said it was wasted, so He Xiangu ate it. He Xiangu helpless, crying to eat.

After eating, He Xiangu felt her body floating. She became a fairy and ascended to heaven. Before leaving, she brought a yellow dog and a black-bone chicken to trade on the ground when she ascended to heaven. This is the origin of the idiom "chickens and dogs ascend to heaven".
