- Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup
The Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup or Eight Immortals Indulged in Wine (zh-cp|c=飲中八仙|p=yǐnzhōng bāxīan) were a group of Tang Dynasty scholars who are known for their love of alcoholic beverages. They are not deified and " xian" ("immortal; transcendent; fairy") is metaphorical. The term is used in a poem by Du Fu, and in the biography of Li Bai in the New Book of Tang.
They appeared in Du's poem in the following order:
* He Zhizhang (賀知章 Hè Zhīzhāng)
* Li Jin (李璡 Lǐ Jìn)
* Li Shizhi (李適之 Lǐ Shìzhi)
* Cui Zongzhi (崔宗之 Cuī Zōngzhī)
* Su Jin (蘇晉 Sū Jìn)
* Li Bai (李白 Lǐ Bái)
* Zhang Xu (張旭 Zhāng Xù)
* Jiao Sui (焦遂 Jiaō Suì)
