Lu Dongbin is from Ruicheng, Shanxi. It is generally said that Lu Dongbin is the grandson of Lu Wei, the Minister of Protocol in the Tang Dynasty. His father Lu Rang once served as the governor of Haizhou. In 691, the second year after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, 46-year-old Lu Dongbin went to Chang'an to take the exam. In the wine shop, he met Tianxian Zhong Liquan. So he came to Zhongnan Mountain to practice Taoism and changed his name to Lu Dongbin.

After that, he can travel around the mountains and rivers and ferry people by boat. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, Tieguai Li (Li Xuan), Han Zhongli (Zhongli Quan), Zhang Guolao (Zhang Guo), Lu Dongbin (Lv Yan), He Xiangu (He Qiong), Lan Caihe (Xu Jian), Han Xiangzi , Uncle Cao Guo (Cao Jingxiu) is called the Eight Immortals. In Shanxi folklore, Lu Dongbin is one of the most famous folklore among the Eight Immortals. The most famous one is "The dog did not recognize the good heart when it bit Lu Dongbin." But why did the dog bite Lu Dongbin? In fact, the story goes like this.

Lu Dongbin has a good friend from his hometown named Gou Yao, who lives in chaos and lives in seclusion. Terry Gou's parents are both dead, alone. Seeing that he was in trouble, Lu Dongbin and his parents asked him to live in their home. He hoped that Gou Yao would study hard and have a bright future. Gou Yao was very grateful. He remembered Lu Dongbin's words and studied hard all day long. One day, Lu Dongbin's guest named Lin, who was studying hard, came to Dongbin's house. Seeing Gou Yao's hard work, he told Lu Dongbin that he wanted to betroth his sister to Gou Yao, but Lu Dongbin politely refused, fearing that it would delay Gou Yao's future, but Gou Yao was very moved when he learned about it.

Later, Lu Dongbin knew what Gou Yao meant and said to him: "I have heard of Miss Lin's talent and appearance before. Since you want to marry her, I will not stop you. But After the wedding, I will be with the bride for three days. After hearing this, I was not surprised at all, but I gritted my teeth and thought, by the way, all the ceremonies ended on the wedding day. The bride was led into the wedding room and hid. At this time, Lu Dongbin walked into the room without saying anything. At first, the bride liked to see the groom working so hard. But it was like this until midnight. She had no choice but to sleep with her clothes on. When she woke up in the morning, Lu Dongbin was gone. She cried secretly for two nights. Three nights later, when he entered the bridal chamber, she did not step on him. He saw his wife crying and hurriedly came forward to accompany you. The bride just lowered her head and cried and said, "Why did the husband sleep in different beds for three nights?" Just reading and walking in the dark? "?

Due to the pressure of life, Lu Dongbin had no choice but to beg along the road and came to Gou Yao's house for help. After hearing this, Gou Yao said to Lu Dongbin: "Don't worry, my brother has his own arrangements. ". Ten days later, except for daily meals, Gou Yao didn't talk about how to help Lu Dongbin. A few days later, it was still the same. Lu Dongbin doubted that Gou Yao would not help him. After a few days, Lu Dongbin couldn't help but go home. But Gou Yao just advised him to enjoy the happiness for a few more days, but Lu Dongbin said angrily: "You can enjoy it. ". After saying that, Lu Dongbin, who had no money, had to beg along the road back to his hometown, but he could not find his home in the village.
