It is said that he was born between Kaiyuan and Daizong Dali of Tang Dynasty. He studied Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain. Once his soul came out of its shell, he never thought that the body would be eaten by tigers, so he had to devote himself to being a lame beggar. "Tongjian of the Immortals of the Past Dynasties" states that he was originally a handsome husband, good at Taoism, and could derive the magic of the soul. He practiced it in the cave of Dangshan Mountain. Once, he performed the "spring out of the shell" magic at the invitation of his master Laozi. Thousands of miles away in Huashan, he returned a few days later and found that his body had been accidentally burned by his disciples. Suddenly he saw a starving corpse nearby, and he had an idea and said, "That's it." That is, it entered through the forehead of the hungry corpse, and after the soul returned to its shell, it turned into a shaggy tendril. , an ugly man with a black face, giant eyes, and a limp on his right foot. It seems that he is a Taoist immortal who has been passed down by word of mouth among the people and has gathered everything together.
Zhongli Quan
Among the Eight Immortals, the most famous after Tieguai Li is Zhongli Quan. He has a higher status among the Eight Immortals, especially due to the praise of Taoists, and his reputation is even greater. During the Yuan Dynasty, Jin Zhendao was regarded as the "Zhengyang Patriarch". The prototype of his character appeared around the time of the Five Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty. "Xuanhe Chronicle", "Yi Jian Zhi", "Song History" and other books all have records of his deeds. It was only later that he was mistakenly identified as Zhongli of the Han Dynasty, and he was attached to the Han Dynasty.

He preached to Kongtong Mountain and named himself Mr. Yunfang, and later passed away as an immortal." The poem he left behind is entitled "Three Quatrains on Avoiding a Wine Shop in Chang'an", which includes "Always carry a pot of wine while sitting and lying, and don't teach your eyes to recognize the imperial capital. "It is not easy to meet a true immortal who has attained the Tao. I am willing to follow you when I return" and other sentences, which also have some "immortal flavor".

Xuanzong heard about it and sent Xu Qiao to invite him again. Zhang Guo had no choice but to go to Beijing. It is said that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was suspicious of the rumors. He once asked Xing Hepu, who was good at predicting life, death, good and evil, to tell Zhang's fortune. Asked: "Where is Zhang Guo?" He was facing the other side and couldn't see him. Judging from historical records, Zhang Guo was just an old charlatan sorcerer with a somewhat guilty conscience. Why else would he have pretended to be dead several times to avoid being drafted? At best, he only knows some illusions. Therefore, the fairy tales about him are all exaggerated and fabricated by Taoists for propaganda purposes based on folk rumors. "Taiping Guangji" also records that Zhang Guolao claimed to be from the time of Emperor Yao. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty asked the sorcerer "Ye Fashan" about Zhang's origin. Ye Fashan said: "I dare not say it. If I say it, I will die." Later, he said: "Zhang Guo" It was a white bat spirit from the beginning of chaos." After saying this, he fell to the ground and died.

Question 8: What is the main content of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea? The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is the most widely circulated folklore among the Han people. One of the most popular stories about the Eight Immortals was first seen in the drama "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea on the Jade Board". Legend has it that the Immortal Baiyun once returned to Penglai Island when the peonies were in full bloom, and invited the Eight Immortals and the Five Saints to attend the grand ceremony. On the way back, Tieguaili (or Lu Dongbin) suggested not to take a boat but to think of their own solutions. The origin of "supernatural powers" or "the eight immortals crossing the sea, each according to his own ability". Later, people used this allusion to describe those things that rely on their own special abilities to create miracles. The Eight Immortals are Han Zhongli (or Zhongliquan), Zhang Guolao, Han Xiangzi, Tieguaili, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe and Cao Guojiu.
On this day, the Eight Immortals happily came to Penglai Pavilion to gather and drink. Each of the Eight Immortals prepared a dish, using local prawns, sea cucumbers, scallops, sea crabs, red snails, sea bream and other sea treasures as the main raw materials, and processed 8 platters, 8 hot dishes and 1 hot soup. The platters each use their own treasures to make patterns, and the shapes are vivid and unique. Each plate has mythological allusions. It is not only delicious, but also entertaining to watch; the hot dishes are more exquisitely cooked, showing many scenic spots in Penglai, and are ingenious; the hot soup is made of eight Made from seafood and chicken soup, it tastes delicious and unique. When the wine was in full swing, Tieguai Li said to the immortals: "They all say that the three sacred mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou are beautiful. Why don't we go and enjoy them?" All the immortals were excited and agreed in unison. Lu Dongbin said: "Since we are immortals, we are not allowed to take a boat to cross the sea now. We can only rely on our personal Taoism. What do you think?" After hearing this, all the immortals agreed happily and abandoned their seats and set off. (Another story is that the Eight Immortals returned from attending the Queen Mother's Peach Festival.) The eight immortals gathered at the beach and each showed his magic weapon. Han Zhongli, who was carefree and idle, threw away the banana fan in his hand and threw it into the sea. The fan was as big as a mat. He drunkenly jumped onto the fan that was riding the waves and drifted leisurely into the depths of the sea. The graceful and charming He Xiangu followed in her footsteps and put the lotus into the sea. Suddenly red light shone, and the flower resembled a millstone. The fairy stood gracefully among the lotus, charming and graceful. No one among the immortals is willing to lag behind. Lu Dongbin who recited poems and performed chivalry, Zhang Guolao who rode a donkey backwards, Cao Guojiu who was hiding and practicing Taoism, Lan Caihe who was striding his boots and singing, Han Xiangzi who cleverly captured the fortune, and Tieguai Li who borrowed corpses to resurrect their souls all threw their treasures into the sea. In an instant, hundreds of teams were vying with each other, each showing his magical powers, showing off his power and controlling the sea, swimming leisurely among the vast expanse of blue waves.
The Eight Immortals flew into the sea, and suddenly the sea surface was like an overturned river, and huge waves shook the palace of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The Dragon King of the East China Sea hurriedly sent out shrimp soldiers and crab generals to inspect the sea, only to find out that it was the work of the eight immortals who showed their talents and prospered the sea. The Dragon King of the East China Sea became angry and led his troops to intervene. The Eight Immortals argued hard and resisted, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea ordered the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to take away Lan Caihe. Not to be outdone, Lan Caihe fought with him, but was eventually caught and imprisoned in the Dragon Palace because he was outnumbered. The immortals were furious when they saw this, and they all stepped forward to fight bravely, starting a fierce battle in the sea. The immortals killed the two dragon sons of the Dragon King of the East China Sea in a row, frightening the shrimp soldiers and crabs to the point where they lost their souls and urinated.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea was so angry that he hurriedly invited the Dragon King of the South China Sea, the North Sea, and the West Sea. He vowed not to give up until he subdued the immortals. So the Dragon King of the Four Seas mobilized the sea water of the three rivers, five lakes and four seas to set off a huge wave, and went straight towards the immortals with murderous intent. Just when he was about to break out, he suddenly saw a golden light flashing, and a road appeared in the turbid waves. It turned out that Cao Guojiu Baiyunban was born with the magical power to avoid water. It was overwhelming, but there was nothing they could do. Seeing this scene, the Dragon King of the Four Seas was very angry, and mobilized the soldiers of the Four Seas to prepare for another battle. It happened that Nanhai Guanyin (one said Tathagata Buddha) passed by here (or came specifically to mediate), so he stopped both parties, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea released Lan Caihe. The eight immortals bid farewell to Guanyin, each holding their treasures, and sailed away in the wind and waves.
