Han Xiang and his family, A List of Prime Ministers' Genealogy in the New Tang Dynasty, recorded that Han Yu had a grandnephew named Han Xiang, the eldest son of Han Laocheng in Sacrifice to Twelve Langwen. Later, Han Yu demoted the secretariat of Chaozhou for remonstrating with the Buddha's bones, and Han Xiang rushed to Languan to see him off. For this reason, Han Yu wrote poems "Moving Left to Languan to Show My Grandnephew Xiang" and "Staying in Ceng Jiang to Show My Grandnephew Xiang". Jia Dao has a poem "Send Han Xiang", and Yao He has poems "Send Han Xiang to Jiangxi to work" and "Answer Han Xiang". Judging from the existing data, Han Xiang never had any idea of being born, so Yu Yue called him "a man of fame and fortune, and he was handed down from generation to generation as a fairy, not actually." Second, the formation of Han Xiangzi's immortal deeds. The first volume of Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Miscellaneous" recorded the embryonic form of Han Xiangzi legend for the first time, saying that Han Xiang could change the color of peony. But this nephew seems to be real. In Han Yu's legacy, there is a poem "Xuzhou gives a nephew to the family": whoever knocks on the door is my ancestor. There are wonders in the cloud, and you can know the nature by exploring the wonderful. Maybe it's for this nephew. However, Duan Chengshi included this matter in "Grass and Trees" with the intention of recording gardening knowledge related to peony dyeing rather than immortal deeds. Du Guangting's "Biography of Immortals and Supplements" is more suitable for this matter, but his nephew has become Han Yu's nephew, and the nephew's degree of publicity has been increased. Du Yan's teacher, Han Xiangxian, was Mr. Zhang Yun, a famous Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, and later generations said that Han was Lv Dongbin. Han Xiangzi in Song and Liu Fu's Qing Suo Gao Yi transplanted Han Yu's nephew and nephews to Han Xiang for the first time, and added the word "zi" after his name to show the difference between people and immortals, young and old immortals. For the first time, Han Xiang's poems appeared in the text. In fact, they all expressed their aspirations and cherished their feelings of being born. Full Tang Poetry, volume 861, was collected and recorded, entitled "Expressing aspirations" and "Answering from uncle". His poems may come from the novels of Tang and Five Dynasties, and were composed by Liu Fu. For example, in Yanzhi, there is a sentence that "the piano plays a jasper tune, and the furnace raises white cinnabar" and "the wine can bloom in an instant", and the five dynasties Shen Fen's "Continued Fairy Biography" also contains Yin Wenxiang's article that "the wine can be drunk for an instant and the flowers can bloom in an instant". Play the piano in jasper tune, and raise white cinnabar in the furnace. Third, the Eight Immortals, the Evolution of Immortals and the Story of Immortals were added. The story of Han Xiangzi was told in the Song People's Book Club, and then there was the script of "Lan Guan Ji". In the mural of "Da Chunyang Wanshou Palace" in Yongle Palace, Shanxi Province in the Yuan Dynasty, Han Xiangzi had already appeared in "The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", so it can be seen that Korea had joined the ranks of the Eight Immortals at the latest. There are eight immortals in Ma Zhiyuan's "Lv Dongbin Sanzui Yueyang Tower", among which Han Xiangzi is the one who carries the flower basket. From the Yuan Dynasty to the first year, Han Xiangzi was also included in the Eight Immortals' pair in Yue Bochuan's zaju Lv Dongbin Du Tie Guai Li Yue and Fan Kang's zaju Chen Jiqing's mistake on a bamboo boat. Han Xiangzi appeared as one of the Eight Immortals in traditional Chinese opera, such as the above three dramas and Gu Zi's respect for Lv Dongbin's Three Degrees of Willow in the South of the City, the anonymous Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the Peach Blossom Party for Celebrating the Immortals' Birthday by the Xianwang of the Ming Dynasty, Lv Dongbin's Dream of Peach Blossoms and Plums, and the Lan Caihe from Laiji. For example, Ji Junxiang's Yuan Zaju, Han Xiangzi's Three Retreats from Korea, Mingdao Zhao's Han Xiangzi's Three Visits to the Peony Pavilion, and Lan Guan Ji, an anonymous writer, do not exist. There are some anonymous operas in the South of Yuan Dynasty, such as The Story of Han Wengong's Snow Stopping the Blue Pass, The Three Degrees of Han Wengong in Han Xiangzi, etc., but none of them exist. Legends in the Ming Dynasty are anonymous, such as The Ascension of the Immortal in Han Xiangzi, The Toad, and Dulanguan by Yong En and the owner of Luqi. The Biography of Han Xian is the first novel in classical Chinese about Han Xiangzi's enlightenment and the rise of Han Yu's family. It is a full-length novel with more than 8,111 words. It was written by Han Ruoyun, the emperor of Tang Yaohua, and was included in the Secrets of Baoyantang by Chen Jiru in Ming Dynasty and the Collection of Ancient and Modern Books in Volume 247. It is the first time to mention that Han Xiangzi studied under Lv Dongbin when describing Han Xiangzi's immortal way. The 31th and 31st chapters of Wu Yuantai's Travel Notes to the East in the Ming Dynasty are devoted to Han Xiangzi's fairy deeds, and Han Xiangzi is also a disciple of Lv Dongbin. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Er expanded The Legend of Han Xian into the novel The Complete Biography of Han Xiangzi with 31 chapters and 211,111 words. In order to highlight the infallibility of Han Xiangzi's immortal deeds, he deliberately shaped the typical image of Han Yu, showing the ideological process of feudal literati who were born after joining the WTO. In the late Qing Dynasty, Chai Calyx's Volume 31 of Brahma Lu Cong Cong Lu cited Daoyuan Hui Lu, but it was considered that the immortal was Han Yu's other grandnephew Han (Zelkova). In order to solve the conflict between historical facts and fairy tales, Suspicion Department is unwilling to go against the facts and think that Han Yu's grandnephew Han Xiang is a fairy middleman, and is unwilling to tear up the myth that Han Yu's people are immortals, and also can't bear the fact that this people have nothing to do with Han Xiangzi, which is spread by the public. Therefore, it compromises all the theories, and falsely creates that Xiang has a younger brother (Zelkova), and the immortal is this person, which is very similar to Xiang (Zelkova) in later generations. There are different opinions about Han Xiangzi becoming an immortal: Xiang Zi, the nephew of Han Yu, was bohemian, and then traveled with Lv Dongbin, climbed a peach tree and died, but his body was dissolved into an immortal. As for its magic weapon, the bamboo flute, folklore says that Han Xiangzi was changed by a Huanglong born by Shun's wife and daughter Ying. Huanglong was first a bug and hid in a hollow bamboo to avoid being hunted by E Huang. After Huanglong cultivated into an immortal in Huanglong Cave of Laoshan Mountain, that is, Han Xiangzi, whose bamboo flute that he never left his hand was Xiangzhu (see page 279 of the Dictionary of Chinese Folk Literature). Han Xiangzi immortals are most concentrated in Xi 'an. There is Xiangzi Cave forty-five miles south of Lantian County, Xi 'an. It is said that Han Xiangzi cultivated immortality here. There is Xiangzi Temple Street near the south gate in Xi 'an, and there was Xiangzi Temple in the old street. There is a stone bridge next to Tanjiaqiao Village at the northern foot of Huangshan Mountain, which is said to have been built by Han Xiangzi when he visited Huangshan Mountain. The Guangji Bridge across the Hanjiang River outside the east gate of Chaozhou Ancient City, commonly known as Xiangzi Bridge, was seen by Han Xiangzi and is one of the four ancient bridges in China. Among the Eight Immortals, Cao Guojiu is the most incomprehensible, because the emperor's brother-in-law was a lawless playboy! A more respectable way of saying this is that he is the brother of Song Renzong's Empress Cao, and he is a famous Jingxiu. His younger brother, Jing Zhi, was an unscrupulous person who relied on his power. The emperor often admonished him, but he did not repent. Later, my second uncle killed people illegally and was brought to justice. Deeply ashamed, the great uncle retired to the mountains, dressed in wild clothes and determined to cultivate Buddhism. On this day, Han Zhongli and Lv Dongbin came and asked him, "What do you raise when you hear about your son's cultivation?" The great uncle said, "Cultivate Tao" and "Where is Tao?" The prince's maternal uncle pointed to heaven and asked, "Where is Tianan?" He pointed to the heart again. Zhong and Lu laughed and said, "The heart is heaven, and heaven is the Tao. Do you know the true colors?" So he was given a secret decree and told to refine it. It didn't take long for the Tao to be full.

Cao Guojiu has another folk legend about Cao Guojiu's life. It is recorded in Bao Long Tu Shen Jue Gong An: Cao Guojiu was the great uncle of Song Renzong Dynasty. Sometimes Yuan Wenzheng, a scholar from Chaoyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province, and his wife Zhang went to Beijing to try. Second, my uncle was greedy for Zhang's beauty, invited Yuan Sheng and his wife into the house, hanged Yuan Sheng, and forced Zhang. No, deep blue room. Yuan Shenghun v. Bao Gong, and Bao Gong must investigate. At that time, the great uncle was worried that the second uncle's killing of Yuan Sheng was arranged, so he told the second uncle to put Zhang to death to avoid future troubles. The second uncle ordered Zhang to go down the well. When Zhang escaped, Taibai Venus turned into an old man and met a great uncle, mistaking Bao Gong for a grievance. The great prince's maternal uncle was greatly frightened, so he charged iron whip with attacking him. Suspected that he was dead, he abandoned his body in an alley. After Zhang woke up, he appealed to Bao Gong. Bao Gonglian got his feelings, cheated on his illness, and earned a big uncle to come to the government to ask for illness. Bao Gong ordered Zhang to file a complaint, so he imprisoned the great uncle in cangue. He also faked a book to trick my second uncle into coming to the government, so that Zhang complained about the grievances in person, and then put my second uncle in prison. Empress Cao and Renzong came to persuade her. Bao Gong refused to obey, and immediately took the two male uncles to the court for execution. Renzong issued a letter to forgive all criminals in the world. Bao Gong took the imperial edict, which made the great prince's maternal uncle flail. After being released, the great uncle claimed to be resurrected from the dead, so he went into the mountains to practice, and he was enlightened by real people and introduced the fairy class. In the later image of the Eight Immortals, Cao Guojiu was dressed in a red robe, wearing a small gauze cap and coated with tofu, and looked like a clown magistrate of a county. When the Eight Immortals dressed up neatly, people just regarded Cao Guojiu as a ridiculous and even cute clown. As for his noble younger brothers and villains, they have long forgotten.
