The Immortal Han Xiangzi, patron of flutists. His symbol is a dizi, a Chinese flute. He is the Immortal who banished Hsi Wu to the Netherworld. Han Xiangzi was an actual figure from Taoist mythology. Han Xiangzi studied Taoist magical arts under the tutelage of Lü Dongbin, another of the Eight Immortals. He is said to have lived during the Tang Dynasty. Once at a banquet by Han Yu, his Confucianist uncle, Han Xiangzi tried to persuade Han Yu to give up a life of officialdom and to study magic with him. But Han Yu was adamant that Han Xiangzi should dedicate his life to Confucianism instead of Daoism, so Han Xiangzi demonstrated the power of the Dao by pouring out cup after cup of wine from the "gourd without end."
