In fact, as early as the Han Dynasty, the Eight Immortals were mentioned in Huainan Zi by Liu An, the king of Huainan. In the Tang Dynasty, the concept of Eight Immortals reappeared in Tang poetry. In fact, before the Ming Dynasty, the Eight Immortals was just a general concept, and there were no specific figures and deeds. In the Ming Dynasty, the novel was a great success, and the Eight Immortals were portrayed as flesh and blood for the first time. Of course, the story of the Eight Immortals is also based on some real events.

Han Xiangzi, whose real name is Qing Fu, is said to be Han Yu's nephew. Cao Guojiu, surnamed Cao, is from Xuzhou. It's Cao's younger brother, so he's called my uncle. These figures are still a little popular, and most of the rest are preachers, promoted all the way, and finally became gods.
