Hehe Erxian, translated as the Immortals of Harmony and Union, are two Taoist immortals popularly associated with happy marriages. They are adaptations of two famous poet-monks of the Tang dynasty, Hanshan and Shide. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the twins were usually depicted holding a box (‘he’) and a lotus stem (‘he’), forming the rebus for harmony (‘he’) and unity (‘he’). They were officially canonized as the God of Harmony and the God of Good Union in the first year of the Yongzheng reign and are widely regarded as gods who bless love between husband and wife.

Tang Yin (1470-1523) is one of the most famous painters in the history of Chinese art. He was a pupil of the great Shen Zhou and a friend of Wen Zhengming. Tang Yin is regarded as one of the painting elites, ‘the Four Masters of Ming,’ which also includes Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, and Qiu Ying. Tang was also a talented poet and scholar. Together with his contemporaries Wen Zhengming, Zhu Yunming, and Xu Zhenqing, they are known as the ‘Four Literary Masters of the Wuzhong Region’ (in today's Suzhou) or ‘Four Literary Masters of Jiangnan’ (the region on the south of the Yangtze River).
