Lv Dongbin, formerly known as Lv Yan, was born in Yongle Town, Ruicheng, Shanxi Province. People call him Lu Zhenren and Lv Zu. As a member of the Eight Immortals. According to legend, Zhenyuan was born in the water market of Zhaoxianli in the northeast of Yongle Town in the 14th year of Emperor Taizong. He was born in an official family. When he was young, he was addicted to the fame and fortune of the imperial examination, and he was admitted to the imperial examination only at the age of 64. Dong Bin is willing to travel. When he met the hermit Zhong Liquan, he was inspired. He abandoned human fame and fortune one by one, studied chemistry and saved people from danger. He traveled all over the country, diving in Lushan Mountain, Jiangxi Province, Jiufeng Mountain, Zhongtiaoshan Mountain, Shanxi Province, and was mysterious and disappeared. During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Quanzhen religion flourished, with Lv Dongbin as its founder, gradually spreading Lv Zu Temple and Chunyang Palace all over the north and south. Due to the exaggerated propaganda of Taoism, it was painted with mystery, making Dong Bin a fairy middleman.
