What Taoist thoughts can be seen from the Eight Immortals System? It is best to have relevant literature.
It is worth referring to The Complete Biography of Eight Immortals written by an innocent Taoist in Qing Dynasty. After reading it, I think I can elaborate Taoist thought from the following aspects.

1, Taoist concept of equality-anyone who has nine tricks can become an immortal. Zhang was originally a white bat, but later he was reincarnated as a mouse master and cultivated into an immortal. Tie Guai Li-Disabled people can also cultivate immortality; He Xiangu-Women can become immortals. Lan Cai He, a geisha disguised as a woman, can live forever even in a humble occupation, which is equivalent to that of an official (Lv Dongbin) and a powerful minister (Cao Guojiu).

2, you need to practice the whole truth, especially avoid lust, caution-once you move your heart, you will be reborn.

There are different kinds of immortals-you can't be immortal without the fate of immortals. For example, Fei Changfang, even if he is miraculous and has no immortal life, can only be reborn.

4. Personalized combination. Everyone in a group has different talents and personalities, and can live in harmony-the Eight Immortals show their magical powers when crossing the sea.

5. The cult idea of unity and mutual assistance among Taoist friends-one person gets the word, as long as one person gets the word, others will help.

6. The Eight Immortals let go of Chunying who avenged her husband many times. Xu Xun just suppressed Chunying in the well, but didn't kill her, even though she had entered the magic way.

7. Taoist cosmology-The universe is a gourd shape, just like Tie Guai Li's gourd. The treasure given by the old man symbolizes the truth of the universe. The Eight Immortals can't fight the Tianshi, but they can escape with this gourd.

8. Although all beings are equal, they also discriminate against monsters-this is somewhat contradictory to the first point, perhaps because monsters are good or bad, but they are actually bad monsters.

The rest is waiting for you to find out.
