Penglai Eight Immortals Island does not really exist. According to the relevant public information, Penglai Eight Immortals Island is just a rumor about the Three God Mountains on the sea, and it is just a natural phenomenon that people in the old days could not explain. Penglai Island is also known as the Three God Mountains on the Sea. Penglai Mountain in ancient times was Qushan Island. Daishan Island and Qushan Island were called Penglai Fairy Island in ancient times. The fairyland in ancient Han legends is a place where gods live.

Why do the Eight Immortals in folklore have to cross the sea?

The Eight Immortals crossing the sea are actually showing up to spread the Dharma.

When the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, they went to Penglai Fairy Mountain to attend the Peony Flower Festival at the invitation of the Baiyun Immortal of Penglai Fairy Mountain. He had to come back after attending the flower party, so at Tieguai Li's suggestion, he did not take a boat but only relied on his own ability to cross the sea to return home.

Of course, it is unknown how wide the sea is between the mythical and legendary Penglai Mountain and the land. However, despite this, Tieguai Li's proposal was responded to by the other seven people, so everyone used their special skills to "cross the sea" to the west.

I won’t go into details here about how the Eight Immortals actually cross the sea. Let’s mainly discuss why they want to make such a big show of it?

According to our traditional customs, Taoist immortals and Taoist masters are very reserved and will not take the initiative to display magic to avoid shocking the world.

But this time the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and each showed their magical powers. Eight people playing in the wind and waves on the sea is indeed an earth-shattering act. Ordinary mortals would be stunned when they see this scene, or would they shout "see a ghost in the daytime"?

However, if we look at it from a deeper perspective, in fact, this is just a propagation technique of the Eight Immortals.

It is unknown in what era the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea took place. But what is more believable is that the formation of the eight people including Tieguai Li, Lu Dongbin and others roughly took place in the Yuan Dynasty. The Eight Immortals all learned Taoism and became immortals, so naturally what they worship is Taoism.

Since Buddhism was introduced into my country at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the influence of Buddhism has grown stronger and stronger, the local Taoism has greatly dwarfed it. This determines the overt and covert "fighting" between Buddhism and Taoism.

Of course, as gods, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism may be more formal and distinguished by the number of supporters. Therefore, propagating the Dharma is an indispensable form.

The gods are constrained by "not shocking the world". In fact, they lack the necessary stage to show their charm to secular believers. And "crossing the sea" just provides the most legitimate platform for the Eight Immortals.

In fact, after the Eight Immortals showed their power through the sea this time, the Taoist immortals' superb magic skills became widely spread among the people, and the Eight Immortals became household names. It has to be said that the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is actually a covert and cleverly named move to spread the Dharma.
