The Anbaxian or 'The Concealed Eight Immortals' are iconic symbols that identifies each of the eight Daoist immortals. These include: the double-gourd, a token of Li Tieguai; the fan (Han Zhongli); the fish-drum (Zhang Guolao); a flute (Han Xiangzi); a pair of castanets of positive and negative forces (Cao Guojiu); a basket of flowers (Lan Caihe); a ladle and a long-stalked lotus blossom (He Xiangu) and a double-edged sword (Lü Dongbin).

A pair of Yongzheng bowls of this design from the T.Y. Chao Collection was included in the exhibition, Ch'ing Porcelain from the Wah Kwong Collection, Art Gallery of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, 1973, no. 89. Other single examples include the bowl illustrated in The Tsui Museum of Art - Chinese Ceramics IV, Qing Ceramics, Hong Kong, 1995, pl. 139; and a bowl sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 31 October 2004, lot 108.
