The clock is shaking from the treasure fan, and the plum gourd is burning everywhere.

Folk songs sing the magic weapon that the Eight Immortals carry with them:
Tie Guai Li has a dark face and unkempt head, tendrils and huge eyes, and a lame right foot; Holding an iron rod; A gourd on his back and a gold hoop on his head. The elixir in the gourd can not only cure the disease, but also bring it back to life. Gourd is his magic weapon. The singer said, "Is there only Five Blessingg in the gourd?"
It is eight feet long, with a beautiful beard and handsome eyes. He wears a bun on his head and often holds a small fan in his hand. Small fan is his magic weapon, and human nature is "rocking small fan lightly, making it enjoyable".
Zhang rode backwards on a donkey, holding a fish drum in his hand. "Fish drums are often typed in Sanskrit." Fish drums are his magic weapon.
Lv Dongbin wandered the Jianghu with his sword on his back. This sword was given by its master Li Zhong according to "Lv Dongbin flies the sword to cut the Huanglong" in Awakening the World. It was originally handed down to Li Zhong by Li Zhong's master, Emperor China. It has the special function of flying head. Just tell it the name and address of the enemy, say a spell, and it will become a dragon, fly to be beheaded and come with its head in its mouth. Lv Dongbin took this sword as a magic weapon, and people praised it: "This sword is full of magic and charm now."
He Xiangu often holds a lotus in his hand, which is a magic weapon. There is a poem to prove it: "Holding a lotus flower does not pollute the dust."
Cao Guojiu's magic weapon is to make a decision, which is called "Jade Board Harmony".
Lan Caihe often carries a basket of flowers, which is his magic weapon. It is well known that "there is nothing in the basket".
Han Xiangzi was born wild, wandering the Jianghu, and often played the flute, which was his magic weapon. "Purple clouds blow a thousand waves." .
The magic weapon of the Eight Immortals is sometimes more than one person, and some people have different views:
Besides gourds, Tie Guai Li also has iron crutches. In Journey to the East, he threw his crutches into the sea when crossing the sea, but relied on a gourd when burning the sea.
Han Zhongli used to be a military commander, but he was often commanded by a sword. Perhaps influenced by Zhuge Liang's fan image, he handed the sword to Lv Dongbin and shook up a small fan himself. But I don't know why, when the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, the magic weapon he threw into the water instead of the boat was the drum.
Zhang's magic weapon was originally an origami donkey, but I don't know when it was changed to a fish drum.
Lv Dongbin's sword is the most distinctive, but in Travels to the East, the magic weapon he throws into the water is a flute, and sometimes he is depicted holding a gourd.
Lan Caihe, who is famous for stepping on songs, has a clapper in his hand. In Travels to the East, he really "made a decision", and because the Dragon King favored his decision (in the eyes of Long Er, the decision became a jade plate), it caused a war between the Eight Immortals and the Dragon King.
Later, for some reason, the decision was transferred to Cao Guojiu, and his magic weapon was replaced by a flower basket.
In Journey to the East, Han Xiangzi "threw a basket across the river". The magic weapon was originally a flower basket, which was secretly attributed to Lan Caihe by another legend. His magic weapon became a flute.
Cao Guojiu is both an emperor's concubine and an official, holding a jade water board seriously. I noticed this in "Journey to the East" and wrote "My uncle crossed the water with a jade board". Later, the places where the Eight Immortals often went were mostly folk places, so they had to change the jade board into clappers.
The introduction of He Xiangu's magic weapon is quite inconsistent from place to place. People sing "the fairy stands on the pontoon bridge as she wishes", saying it is wishful thinking. Travels to the East says, "Fairy carried bamboo over water", and accordingly, people turned it into a common fence on the stove. In the end, he probably followed the principle that stage props should look good and let him wear a lotus flower as a magic weapon.
The most popular saying is:
The things that the Eight Immortals hold in their respective hands are as follows:
Gourd (Tie Guai Li), fan (Han Zhongli), jade board or clapper (Cao Guojiu)
Lotus (He Xiangu), Sword (Lv Dongbin), Xiao Guan (Han Xiangzi)
Flower Basket (Lan Cai He), Fish Drum (Zhang).
These eight things are commonly known as "eight treasures".
