From right to left in the first photo:
ZHANG GUO-LAO
Zhang Guo-Lao, the Taoist master, is represented with a yugu (musical instrument). He is not only the patron saint of painters and calligraphers, but he also has a special mission to help those who wish to have children. It symbolizes creation and artistic expression, reminding believers of the importance of beauty and procreation in universal harmony.
HAN XIANG-ZI
Han Xiang-zi, the nephew of the scholar Han Yu, is depicted with a flute and is the patron of musicians. It symbolizes harmony and musical expression, inspiring believers to seek beauty and serenity in music and sound arts, and to create harmony in their surroundings.
LAN CAI-HE
Lan Cai-he is shown carrying a basket of flowers. It symbolizes joy and appreciation of nature, teaching Tao practitioners the importance of living in the present moment and finding joy in the little things in life.
LÜ DONG-BIN
Lü Dong-bin is usually depicted with a sword and is considered an alchemist and righter of wrongs. It represents transformation and moral rectitude. His sword symbolizes the ability to cut through illusion and achieve clarity, guiding practitioners of the Tao through life's moral and spiritual challenges.
The Eight Immortals were originally mortals who dedicated their lives to fighting evil and pursuing wisdom.
