八仙的成员在唐宋时期还不固定，直到明代才定型为铁拐李、汉钟离、张果老、何仙姑、蓝采和、韩湘子、曹国舅、吕洞宾这八位。「八仙过海」的故事，主要来自明代吴元泰的小说《东游记》（全名《八仙出处东游记》），书中写八仙赴蟠桃会归来，在东海边各显神通渡海。

The members of the Eight Immortals were not fixed in the Tang and Song dynasties; only in the Ming dynasty did the group settle as Iron Crutch Li, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi, Cao Guojiu and Lu Dongbin. The story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea comes mainly from the Ming novel Journey to the East by Wu Yuantai, in which the immortals, returning from the Peach Banquet, each use their own magic to cross the Eastern Sea.

「八仙过海，各显神通」后来成了一句家喻户晓的俗语，比喻大家各有各的本领，各自想办法把事情办好。山东蓬莱自古被视为八仙过海的传说之地，那里的蓬莱阁是中国古代四大名楼之一。八仙的形象也常常出现在年画、瓷器和戏曲里，是中国民间艺术里最受欢迎的题材之一。

The Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own powers, later became a well known saying, meaning that everyone has their own talents and finds their own way to get things done. Penglai in Shandong has long been regarded as the place where the immortals crossed the sea, and its Penglai Pavilion is one of the four great towers of ancient China. The Eight Immortals also often appear in New Year paintings, porcelain and opera, and are among the most popular subjects in Chinese folk art.
