In Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, there is a place with black wind outlet. After LAN CAI and Dao were established, he lived for many years. He made his own wine with various wild plants in Qinghai Tibet Plateau and Qaidam Basin, such as black wolfberry and Nitraria fruit. He drank more than he was drunk. His surname was blue, and the color of the wine became blue purple, so he named it blue wine. It was first seen in Xuxian Zhuan by Shen Fen in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Lan Caihe" ranked sixth among the eight immortals.
The Eight Immortals in Chinese folklore are tie Guai Li, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, LV Dongbin, he Xianggu, LAN Caihe, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu. According to some people's research, the word "Eight Immortals" existed in the Han and six dynasties. It originally refers to a group of immortals fantasized by the immortals since the Han and Jin Dynasties. Until the Tang Dynasty, "Eight Immortals" was just an empty term. It was not until Wu Yuantai's "journey to the East" and Tang Xianzu's "Handan dream" in the middle of the Ming Dynasty that the specific characters of the eight immortals mentioned above were officially determined. According to the earliest historical data of Huaxuan, it was only at the invitation of Li xuanzhi that the theory of eight immortals was formed in the fourth year of Qiande in the Northern Song Dynasty. Later, there were Daluo immortals and eight immortals. In fact, the immortals died because they made contributions to the common people Celebrities. There is a saying among the people that "all local officials with the surname of Luo are actually doing things for the common people" may be a kind of prejudice. Perhaps it is the earliest prototype of the great Luo immortal.
It is said that he often wears a broken blue shirt and holds a clapper in his hand. He travels around Haozhou City, singing while drunk. Later, in a restaurant, he hears the sound of Sheng and Xiao in the air and suddenly flies away. LAN Caihe, formerly known as Xu Jie, sang a variety opera in GouLan. When he was 50 years old, he made a mistake in his official life. He was beaten 40 times by the government and was later led to immortality by Zhong Liquan. His deeds are recorded in Xuxian Zhuan, Nan Tang Shu and que Qian Lei Shu. There are also different versions of LAN Caihe's name in Yuan zaju, such as LAN Caihe and Suo Xin Hu Yi Ma, Han Zhong Li Du Tuo LAN Caihe, and LAN Caihe and Chang'an farce. It is also said that Lan Caihe and his self brewed wine got their names from the world, claiming to be blue wine and drinking for a long time without getting drunk.
Someone saw him when he was a child, and when he was old enough to see him again, he was as good as before, and then he rode away on a crane in a restaurant. Based on this anecdote, the people of Yuan Dynasty wrote a Zaju called "Han Zhong Li Du Tuo LAN Cai he".
LAN Caihe was born in Haixi Prefecture of Qinghai Province. He often wears ragged clothes, a six inch belt, boots on one foot and barefoot on the other. In summer, I wear thick underwear in my long shirt. In winter, I lie in the snow and exhale like steam. Every time in the street, holding a large version, more than three feet long. Sing when you're drunk. The old and the young all watched him sing. When he sang, he seemed to be crazy, but he was not. The lyrics are written at will. The song is full of Fairy Spirit and unpredictable. Put the money on the rope and drag it, even if it falls. Sometimes it's given to poor families, sometimes it's spent in wine shops. Around the world, someone met him when he was a child and saw him when he was old. LAN Caihe's face remained the same. Later, someone saw him drinking in Haoliang restaurant, and heard the sound of Sheng Xiao. Suddenly, he flew into the sky on the crane, throwing down his boots, clothes, belt, plate and wine bottle, and slowly rising.
Growth process
It is said that Lan CAI and his grandfather took over the class at the age of 18 and began to practice medicine. He often went into the mountains to collect herbs, ate wild fruits when he was hungry, drank spring water when he was thirsty, and often ate Ganoderma lucidum, Poria cocos and wild wolfberry. One day, he went into the mountain with a medicine basket in his hand and walked to a lotus pond. He saw an old man with curved eyebrows, big eyes and big belly lying by the pond sleeping. A piece of sore beside his black stabbed navel was rotten to pus and dripping a lot of black blood. LAN Caihe couldn't bear it, so he went to him and squeezed the sore with his hand. When the pus was exhausted, LAN Caihe put a black medlar plaster there to cure the black. How could he know that the old man's stomach was bleeding? LAN Caihe suddenly looked silly and thought, "strange, my medicine is 100% effective!"
After a while, the old man opened his eyes and stared at LAN Caihe, and suddenly said in a loud voice, "fool, if you don't use the basket to carry a basket of water, it's still bleeding here!" They all said that the bamboo basket was empty, but LAN Caihe knew it in his heart, but he had no choice, so he quickly went to fetch water. To the old man's side, the basket is dripping. LAN Caihe laughed bitterly at the old man, and then heard him say, "it's stupid to paste the mud in the pond on the space of the basket Then he sighed. LAN Caihe blushed and did as the old man said. I brought a basket of water, but it turned into chaos soup! The old man was angry: "idiot! Why don't you throw it out and exchange it for a basket of clean water
LAN CAI and his heart were on fire, but they didn't attack. After all, he was a poor old man. When he was at a loss, he suddenly saw a pretty woman covering her mouth and laughing, which made him more embarrassed. The woman said, "brother, why don't you think of a way?" LAN Caihe looked at the lotus pond and looked at the bamboo basket. There was nothing he could do. The woman looked at the old man, and the old man looked at her, and the woman said, "you see, the lotus leaf is better than the mud one?" She said.
LAN Caihe looked at the clear green and broad lotus leaves. He realized something. He patted his head, picked a few lotus leaves, folded them in a basket and carried a basket of clear water. The old man fell to the ground, LAN CAI and nature knew each other, and threw a basket of water on the black meat. The old man's stomach was as bare as usual. LAN CAI and strange to the extreme, staring, open mouth, a hundred think not its solution. "What a fool! Was it cold when I went down to the pond just now? This water is very strange. Take a sip and see what it is? " The old man stood up and pointed to the lotus pond. LAN Caihe then took a handful of water with his hands and drank it. A fragrance entered his heart and his body became light. The woman picked up the basket and said, "brother, you've become an immortal." At that time, the old man pulled LAN CAI and a pair of bamboo baskets. Immediately, he and his bamboo basket left the ground. The old man said, "let's go to Penglai Island to play!" LAN Caihe soared to the sky and saw mushroom like clouds hovering under his knees, following the old man and the woman holding the lotus.
The old man and the woman are Zhong Liquan, the second ancestor of Quanzhen, and he Xiangu, the fairy.
LAN CAI and Ta Ge are recorded in the whole Tang Poetry: how much can the world be when Ta Ge drinks blue wine. The three spring trees of a beautiful woman cast a shuttle in the fleeting time. The ancients never came back, and now more and more people come. In the morning, I ride a phoenix to the blue sky. In the evening, I see a white wave in the mulberry field. The golden palace is high and steep.
