<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Enticz, post: 420352, member: 8948&quot;]Hi all,</p><p>This is a banner mostly used in a big hall in a Chinese family or temple for important occasions and celebrations, but not during funeral. These type of pictures are called &quot;Ba Xian Guo Hai&quot;. The <b>Eight Immortals</b> crossing ocean (八仙) are a group of legendary immortals in Chinese mythology. Each immortal&#039;s power can be transferred to a power tool (法器) that can bestow life or destroy evil. Together, these eight tools are called the &quot;Covert Eight Immortals&quot; (暗八仙). Most of them are said to have been born in the Tang or Song dynasty. They are revered by the Taoists and are also a popular element in the secular Chinese culture. They are said to live on a group of five islands in the Bohai sea which includes Mount Penglai.</p><p>Enticz[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
