The Eight Immortals are the subject of many artistic creations, like paintings, sculptures and writings. There is a work in Ming, by an anonymous writer, called The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea. It is about the Immortals on their way to attend the Conference of the Magical Peach and encountered an ocean. Instead of going across by their clouds, Lu Dongbin suggested that together, they should use their powers to get across. Stemming from this, the Chinese proverb "The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each reveals its divine power" indicates the situation that everybody shows off their powers to achieve a common goal.
