As one of the Eight Immortals, Lan Caihe often appears with seven other immortals. In the eyes of many people, the Eight Immortals are a whole. People may know some stories about the Eight Immortals, but they may not be very proficient in one of them. Lan Caihe, whose real name is Xu Jie, is one of the legendary Eight Immortals. He was born in June15 and died in 760, living in the Tang Dynasty. Such a clear year of birth and death is even clearer than some emperors.
Lan Caihe? It's the musical name of Jeff. He is very proficient in making wine. He often makes his own wine and drinks it. He often got drunk and ran to the busy street, dressed in tattered blue clothes, with a shoe and a big banger in his hand. He sang while walking downtown. Today, this kind of behavior will certainly be considered as affecting the city appearance, but strangely, if it is placed in the ancient background, it has some unrestrained atmosphere.
Lan Caihe is also an alcoholic. He won't get drunk if he drinks too much. Maybe his drinking is just a hobby of his own. According to legend, Lan Caihe began to practice medicine at the age of eighteen. He met an old man when he went up the mountain to collect medicine and watched him sleep by the lotus pond. But there is a sore on the edge of his navel, which has rotted and oozed black blood. Lan Caihe couldn't bear it, so he treated him with medical skills.
But unexpectedly, it was still bleeding after being processed, and now Blue Cai He is silly. After a while, the old man opened his eyes and asked Lan Cai He to draw water with a bamboo basket. But how can the bamboo basket draw water? The old man asked him to paste the bamboo basket with mud, but he disliked the dirty water in the bamboo basket and asked him to change it to clean water. Lan Caihe was really angry, and it was not good for an old man to have an attack, but there was really no way to meet his demands.
Just then, a beautiful woman appeared. She suggested that Lan Caihe use lotus leaves instead of mud. Sure enough, she made a basket of clear water and poured it on the old man's stomach, and the old man's stomach was cured immediately. He instructed Lan Cai He to drink the water from the pond, and Lan Cai He did so. Suddenly, he felt light and was pulled by the old man. He left the ground with his bamboo basket and followed the old man and the woman to the sky. The old man told him that he was immortal.
It turns out that the old man is Zhong Liquan and the woman is He Xiangu. This is Lan Caihe's immortal experience. Since then, Lan Caihe has entered the ranks of the Eight Immortals. The one in the portrait, with his chest open, a bamboo basket in his hand and two small draggers on his head, is blue-picked grain.
