The Eight Immortals are a group of legendary Taoist individuals called xian in Chinese mythology. Each immortal's power can be transferred to a vessel that can bestow life or destroy evil. Together, these eight vessels are called the "Covert Eight Immortals." Most of them are said to have been born in the Tang or Song Dynasty, and are popular with both Taoists and in secular Chinese culture today. They are said to live on a group of five islands in the Bohai Sea, which includes Mount Penglai. These two appear to be He Xiangu (the only emphatically female member of the group), denoted by the lotus on her head, and Zhang Guolao, who was known for prolonging life through necromancy and is recognizable by the fish drum he carries.
