He Xiangu is the female Eight Immortal often depicted holding a lotus flower.
He Xiangu, whose name means roughly “Immortal Woman He,” is a figure in the Taoist pantheon. Tradition gives her birth name as He Qiong and places her life in the Tang dynasty, although stories disagree about whether she came from Hunan or Guangdong. Some accounts describe her as the daughter of a shopkeeper.
The lotus is her signature attribute. In Chinese religious symbolism, the flower suggests purity, spiritual transformation, health, and longevity. Legends also connect He Xiangu with supernatural wisdom and miraculous powers. She may appear with other attributes, including a sheng instrument, a bamboo ladle, a fly-whisk, or a phoenix.
She is usually called the only woman among the Eight Immortals, but that wording needs a small qualification: Lan Caihe’s gender presentation is sometimes considered ambiguous. The other named immortals in this question—Cao Guojiu, Zhang Guolao, and Lan Caihe—are not conventionally identified by the lotus emblem.
