Liu Hai was revered as the epitome of wealth and business success. He was a prime minister in the Han dynasty government and a proficient student of Daoist magic and medicine. It was rumored that he possessed a three-legged toad that could travel unimpeded anywhere he chose.
Dongfang Shuo (c. 160-93 BC) was a Han Dynasty scholar-official, author, and court jester to Emperor Wu. The legend of Dongfang Shuo has him attempting to steal one of the famous 'peaches of longevity' from the orchard of Xi Wangmu, the Queen Mother of the West. The peaches were believed to ripen only once in 3,000 years and to confer immortality on anyone who ate them.
