How can 8 breathless men were named 8 Immortals? Really strange. Ksyrie 19:41, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

The article states that the term refers to two different groups, but then doesn't distinguish between them. It seems to be about the same group of men that have different names in Chinese and English. The article needs cleanup (and sourcing, since I don't know what's accurate from looking at it).

No,you are misguided,the Eight Immortals and the Eight Elders are the same group.The Eight Immortals are the invetion by some english-speaking journalist,while Eight Elders are the more official or used name.--Ksyrie 00:04, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
