Gold Foil Specimen of 2003 Folklore - 8 Immortal Cross the Sea Stamps. Formosa(Taiwan), Rep of China.

The official presentation of Taipei Post Office.

In Chinese mythology, the Eight Immortals of Taoism are Li Tie-guai,jhang Guo-lao, Han jhong-li (or jhong Li-cyuan), Lyu Dong-bin,Han Siang-zih, He Sian-gu, Cao Guo-jiou and Lan Cai-he. The numerouslegends about them make them especially popular among Chinese.They are usually viewed as gods that bring good fortune. The EightImmortals each had different backgrounds, possessed differenttalents and powers, and looked very different from each other.Both human and fairy, they roamed the world to help the weak andthe poor as well as to punish wickedness and encourage virtue.Through their incessant hard work, they finally attained enlightenmentand became immortal. Their life stories show that anyone can enterNirvana regardless of their background. Among the numerous legendsconnected to the Eight Immortals, "The Eight Immortals Crossthe Sea" is most famous. It describes how the Eight Immortalsfought with the God of the Eastern Sea when making a crossing,and how each showed his or her special prowess.
There are many deities and demigods in Chinese folk religion, and the Eight Immortals have always been the most favored and famous group. Taken from various legends of them in Chinese folklore, vivid images of them helping the poor and the weak as well as punishing wickedness and encouraging virtue are ubiquitous in Chinese societies. Their unique ability of making people feel close to them is closely connected to the variety of their backgrounds. Whether they were intellectuals (Lyu Dong-bin and Han Siang-zih), a general (Han Jhong-li), royalty (Cao Guo-jiou), a hermit (Jhang Guo-lao), a beggar (Li Tie-guai), a folk performer (Lan Cai-he) or a woman (He Sian-gu), they all became immortals through self-cultivation and good deeds. For the believers—whether man or woman, old or young, all can find someone among them to identify with.
