According to Han Xiang and His Family, The Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Prime Minister's Genealogy Table, Han Yu has a grandnephew named Han Xiang, the eldest son of Twelve Lang who offered sacrifices to the old city of China and South Korea. Later, Han Yu rushed to Languan to see him off for admonishing the Buddha's bones and belittling the tide and secretariat. To this end, Han Yu wrote poems about "moving to Lan Guan to see my grandnephew" and "staying to see my grandnephew". Jia Dao has a poem "Send Han Xiang", and Yao He has poems "Send Han Xiang to Jiangxi to handle affairs" and "Answer Han Xiang". Judging from the available information, Han Xiang never had the idea of being born, so Yu Yue called him "a man of fame and fortune, which was passed down from generation to generation as a fairy, not real." Second, the formation of Han Xiangzi's immortal deeds. The first episode of Youyangza recorded the embryonic form of Han Xiangzi's legend for the first time, saying that it could change the color of peony. But this nephew seems to be real. In Han Yu's posthumous work, there is a poem "Xuzhou gives it to my nephew's home": whoever knocks at the door is my ancestor. There is something strange in the cloud, and we can know its nature by exploring its mystery. Maybe it's for this nephew. However, Duan included this matter in the annals of plants and trees in order to record the gardening knowledge related to peony dyeing, rather than the immortal deeds. Du Guangting's Immortal Biography Addendum is more suitable for this matter, but his nephew has become Han Yu's nephew, and his nephew's publicity has increased. Du Yan's teacher, Han Xiangxian, was a famous Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, later known as Bill Han. Han Xiangzi of the Song Dynasty and Qing Suo Gao Yi transplanted Han Yu's nephew to for the first time, and added the word "zi" after the name to show the difference between man and fairy, young and old fairy. Han Xiang's poems first appeared in the text. In fact, they all expressed their feelings and cherished the feeling of being born. The whole Tang poetry, volume 860, is collected and named "Yan Zhi" and "Answering from Uncle". His poems may come from novels of the Tang and Five Dynasties and were written by Liu Fu. For example, Yan Zhi has a saying that "the piano plays a jasper tune, and the furnace raises white cinnabar" and "the wine can be instantly opened", and Shen Fen's Biography of the Immortal in the Five Dynasties also has Yin Wenxiang's article that "the wine can be instantly drunk and the flowers can be instantly opened". Jasper plays the piano and raises white cinnabar in the furnace. Thirdly, the evolution of the Eight Immortals and Immortals and the story of Immortals are added. Han Xiangzi's story was told at 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 of Shanxi Province in Yuan Dynasty, Han Xiangzi has already appeared in "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", which shows that North Korea joined the ranks of the Eight Immortals at the latest. There are eight immortals in Ma Zhiyuan's Three Drunk Yueyang Tower in Lv Dongbin, among which Han Xiangzi is the one who carries the flower basket. In the first year of Yuan Dynasty, Yue Bochuan's zaju Du Yue and Fan Kang's zaju Chen's Bamboo Boat Fault, Han Xiangzi also performed on the same stage. Han Xiangzi appeared in operas as the Eight Immortals, such as the above three plays and Three Willows in the South of the City by Gu Zijing and Lv Dongbin, The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea by Anonymous, The Peach Blossom Party in Wang Xian in the Ming Dynasty, The Peach Blossom Dream in Lv Dongbin, and The Orchid Lotus in Laiji, etc. For example, Yuan Zaju, Han Xiangzi's three retreats to North Korea, Han Xiangzi's three visits to the Peony Pavilion, and the unknown writer Lan Guanji all do not exist. There are some anonymous operas in Yuannan, such as the story of Han Wengong's snow stopping at Languan, and the third degree of Han Wengong in Han Xiangzi. , but none of them exist. Legends in the Ming Dynasty are all anonymous, such as the immortal in Han Xiangzi, the toad of Yong 'en and the owner of Luqi, all of which are in Languan. 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 novel with more than 8,000 words. It was written by Han Ruoyun, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and was included in Chen Jiru's Secret of Baoyantang and Collection of Ancient and Modern Books (Volume 247) in the Ming Dynasty. When describing Han Xiangzi's immortal way, it is the first time to mention that Han Xiangzi studied under Lv Dongbin. The 30th and 31st chapters of Wu Yuantai's Journey to the East in the Ming Dynasty were devoted to the immortal deeds of Han Xiangzi, and Han Xiangzi was also a disciple of Lv Dongbin. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Er expanded the legend of Han Xian into a novel The Complete Biography of Han Xiangzi, with 30 chapters and 200,000 words. In order to highlight the infallibility of Han Xiangzi's immortal deeds, he deliberately created a typical image of Han Yu, showing the ideological course of feudal literati born after China's entry into WTO. In the late Qing Dynasty, the firewood calyx Brahma Volume 30 quoted Dao Yuan Hui Lu, but thought that the immortal was Han Yu's other grandnephew Han (beech tree). In order to solve the conflict between historical facts and myths, the Doubt Department is unwilling to go against the facts, thinking that Han Yu's grandnephew Han Xiang is a fairy middleman, and unwilling to tear up the myth that Han Yu's man is a fairy, and can't stand the fact that this man has nothing to do with Han Xiangzi being spread by the public. Therefore, all the theories were compromised. The fake item had a younger brother (beech), and the immortal was this person, which was very similar to the later item (beech). There are different opinions about Han Xiangzi's immortality: Xiangzi, the nephew of Han Yu, was bohemian, and later swam with Lv Dongbin, climbed a peach tree and died, but his body became immortal. As for its magic weapon, the bamboo flute, it is said that Han Xiangzi was born in Huanglong by Shun's wife and daughter. Huanglong was originally a bug, hiding in a hollow bamboo to avoid E Huang's pursuit. After Huanglong became an immortal in Huanglong Cave in Laoshan Mountain, that is, Han Xiangzi, the bamboo flute he never left was Zhu Xiang's (see page 279 of the Dictionary of Chinese Folk Literature). Han Xiangzi immortals are most concentrated in Xi 'an. There is a Xiangzi Cave forty-five miles south of Lantian County, Xi. It is said that Han Xiangzi cultivated immortals here. There is Xiangzi Temple Street near Xi 'an Annan Gate, and there is Xiangzi Temple on 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 Han 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 is a lawless playboy! To put it more decently, he is the younger brother of Queen Cao, and he is famous. His younger brother Jing Zhi is an unscrupulous and powerful person. The emperor often admonished him, but he did not repent. Later, my second uncle killed people illegally and was brought to justice. Deeply ashamed, my uncle lived in seclusion in the mountains, dressed in strange clothes and determined to practice Buddhism. On this day, Han Zhongli and Lv Dongbin came and asked him, "I heard that your son is cultivated. What do you raise?" The elder brother said, "cultivate", "where is the 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 the sky, and the sky is the Tao. Do you know the true face? " So he got a secret decree and was told to perfect it. Before long, the Tao was full.
Cao Guojiu has another legend about his life. According to Bao Shending Public Security, Cao Guojiu was the great-uncle of the dynasty. On one occasion, the champion of Chaoyang County, Guangdong Province, and his wife Zhang went to Beijing to take the exam. Second, my uncle coveted Zhang's beauty, invited the couple into the house, hanged them, and persecuted Zhang Jin. No, a dark blue room. Yuan Shenghun v. Bao Gong, who must investigate. At that time, my uncle was worried that the second uncle's murder was arranged by someone, so he told my uncle to put Zhang to death to avoid future trouble. The second uncle ordered Zhang to go down the well. When Zhang escaped, Taibai Venus turned into an old man and met an uncle, mistakenly thinking that he had been wronged. The great uncle was frightened and accused iron whip of attacking him. Suspected that he was dead, he abandoned the body in an alley. When Zhang woke up, he pleaded with him. Bao Gonglian got his affection, cheated him of his illness, and earned an uncle to call in sick at the yamen. So he ordered Zhang to write a letter and put this uncle in a cangue. He also tricked my second uncle into coming to the yamen with fake books, made Zhang complain face to face, and then put my second uncle in prison. Queen Cao and Injong both came to persuade her. Bao Gong refused to accept it and immediately took the two male uncles to court for execution. Injong issued a decree to pardon all criminals in the world. Bao Gong took over the imperial edict, making the prince's maternal uncle flail. After being released, my uncle claimed to be back from the dead, so he went into the mountains to practice, was enlightened by real people, and introduced the fairy class. In the later image of the Eight Immortals, Cao Guojiu looked like a clown magistrate in a red robe, a small gauze cap and tofu. When the Eight Immortals were dressed neatly, people just regarded Cao Guojiu as a ridiculous and even cute clown. As for his noble brothers and villains, they have long forgotten.
