Zhongli Quan, courtesy name Jidao, is a Chinese mythological figure and one of the Eight Immortals in the Taoist pantheon.

In legend, he holds a peach and wields a large feather fan[1] which can resurrect the dead and transform stones into silver or gold.

He was destined for greatness from the day he was born by showing features such as a broad forehead, thick ears, long eyebrows, deep eyes, red nose, square mouth, high cheeks, and scarlet lips.

Stories depict that either seven days or seven years later, he began to speak, and the first sentence he uttered was, "my feet have wandered in the purple palace of the [immortals], my name is recorded in the capital of the jade emperor."

Using his power of alchemy and his magical fan, he created silver and gold coins from stones and saved people from poverty and famine.
