Liu Hai was one of the Eight Immortals in the biography of lie Xian Quan Zhuan of Ming Dynasty. In the biography of the origin of eight immortals to the East, Liu Hai was replaced by Zhang Guo. Liu Hai, born in the Five Dynasties, was the Prime Minister of yanwang. The eight immortals are divided into "upper Eight Immortals", "middle Eight Immortals" and "lower Eight Immortals". There are different opinions among the people. The more common ones are: upper eight immortals are Fuxing, Luxing, Shouxing, Zhangxian, dongfangshuo, chenbo, Pengzu and Lishan mother; middle eight immortals are LV Dongbin, Li Tieguai, Han Zhongli, Han Xiangzi, Cao Guojiu and he Xian Gu, LAN Caihe and Zhang Guolao; the next eight immortals are Wang Qiao, Chen Qizi, Xu Shenweng, Liu Ling, Chen Tuan, Bi Zhuo, Ren Fengzi and Liu haichan (Liu Hai).

The two immortals fought fiercely for the upper, middle and lower positions. The fight made the sky and the earth dark over Zuixian lake. Just when it was hard to separate, a colorful auspicious cloud opened from the middle: "don't be angry, you two immortals. I have something to say..." As soon as I fixed my eyes, it was Madame Magu who came from that mountain. The two immortals clasped their fists and immediately saluted: "it's the host who arrived. It's impolite!" Magu said, "I don't know if you are going to the fairy lake. I'm afraid I'm going to meet you at a distance." When Magu asked why the two immortals were fighting, she said with a chuckle, "in terms of experience, you are all my younger generation; in terms of appearance, I am your younger generation. What can we do? " When Zhang and Liu Erxian were asked, they were stunned. Magu continued, "meritorious service is God, and no desire is immortal. It seems that you and others are fighting for fame and wealth, which will affect people's lives. How can you bear it? Don't people laugh at us for cheating on others? " After hearing this, Zhang and Liu were shamed and said in a humble voice: "they are all rude, laughing and generous." After that, put away your weapons. Magu took the opportunity to invite the two immortals to visit Danxia (Magu) mountain, and wrote a poem: as a guest, you can come to my home, where are the immortals? The world still sings harmony, and a pot of good wine gathers Danxia.
