Unlike many Taoist immortals, the Eight Immortals all came from the world, and they all had colorful human stories, and then they were enlightened. They are completely different from the images of ordinary immortals, so they are deeply loved by the people. Among them, generals, royalty, beggars and Taoist priests are not born immortals. They all have some shortcomings, such as Han Zhong's topless breasts, Lv Dongbin's frivolous personality, Tie Guai Li's drunkenness and so on.

The Eight Immortals also represent men, women, children, rich and poor. Therefore, generally speaking, Taoist temples have places to worship the Eight Immortals, or the Eight Immortals Palace is set up independently, and the Eight Immortals also appear in the temple fairs of the gods. The Eight Immortals often appear in New Year pictures, embroidery, porcelain, lanterns and plays. According to legend, the Eight Immortals regularly go to the Western Queen Mother Flat Peach Festival to celebrate their birthdays, so "Eight Immortals' Birthday" has also become a common birthday theme in folk art.

When folk operas reward the gods, so-called "fairy plays" such as drunken eight immortals or eight immortals' birthdays are often staged.
