Zhang Guolao

Zhang Guolao, an elderly magician famous for his mule, which can travel great distances without rest, is the sixth immortal on the embroidered screen. After a journey, this immortal simply folds up the mule and places it in his pocket, as if it were no more than a slip of paper. He is the patron of happy marriages and numerous offspring, two goals which need the help of magic.
