The recently broadcast "Acquaintance with Junchu" everyone chased?
Costume drama is a genre that is deeply liked by the public in domestic TV dramas, and "Acquaintance with Junchu" is a theme that has won the hearts of young audiences in costume dramas - Xian Xia Xuan Fantasy. The TV series is adapted from the online novel "The Tale of the Taming Fish" by Jiu Lu Feixiang, in which "Fish" refers to the Fish People. As the name suggests, the book tells the story of the original tame but falling in love with the fish.
Coincidentally, the "Lady Of the Hu Zhu", "Mirror Twin Cities" and the upcoming "Jade Bone Haruka" that have just been broadcast a while ago have elements of fish people in the setting. Further ahead, in the TV series "Liu Li", there are "Pavilion Nu" of the East China Sea Fish, and there are also "Fish People" who oppose Yehua in "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".
Why do so many fairy fantasy TV series have a fish man? How many online novels have been inspired by this mysterious and beautiful "domestic mermaid"?

Don't cry, don't cry, tears are pearls
The setting of the South China Sea Fish People is basically completed by three ancient works.
Zhang Hua's "Naturalist" of the Western Jin Dynasty expresses the residence and biggest characteristics of the Fish People: "There are Fish People in the South China Sea, the water lives like a fish, it does not waste weaving achievements, and its eyes can cry beads." ”
The Eastern Jin Dynasty Ganbao said in the "Book of Searching for Gods": "There are fish people outside the South China Sea, who live in the water like fish, do not waste weaving achievements, and their eyes can cry beads." ”
Liang Renfang of the Southern Dynasty wrote in the Shuyi Ji: "The Fish People, that is, Quan Xianye, are also known as Quan Ke. ...... In the South China Sea, there is the Dragon Silk Palace, where the spring is first woven, and there are white as frost. "The South China Sea produces a silk yarn, the spring chamber is submerged, a dragon yarn, its price is hundreds of gold, I think it is a service, and it does not enter the water."
The South China Sea is not the sea, it is the South Sea County, so the Fish people come from the Liangguang area? The tears of the fish people are pearls, and they are also engaged in textiles like perpetual motion machines. The clothes they weave made of cloth are not wet in the water, and they are very precious and advanced waterproof clothing.
These two "values" became the beginning of the "race war" in the novels of the Fishman.
Although the main story line of "Lady Hu Zhu" is not the story of the Fish People, this "Pearl" suggests that the story is extremely high "containing fish". The heroine Ye Haishi is a pearl diver in a coastal fishing village, and when she went to the sea to collect pearls when she was a child, she met a fish man. Because of the heavy pearl tax, the heroine and the small fishing village are overwhelmed, thus embarking on an inflection point of fate. It is worth mentioning that the setting of "Lady Huozhu" is from "Kyushu", which is an oriental fantasy world jointly created by seven influential Chinese fantasy writers in contemporary China. The Kyushu series is also an important source of IP for domestic film and television dramas in recent years.
How many spin-offs are there in love with the Fishman
Starting with "The Daughter of the Sea", a cross-racial relationship with a mermaid is one of the favorite themes of many romance novels to "conquer". To this end, the creators have made a lot of interesting derivative settings.
In ancient China, the fish people were mostly considered female. The Taiping Guangji wrote: "The sea mermaid, the East China Sea, the large one is five or six feet long, like a person, eyebrows, nose and mouth, hands and claws, and heads are all beautiful women, all of them are sufficient." The skin and flesh are as white as jade, scaleless, with fine hairs, five colors of light and soft, one or two inches long. Hair like a ponytail, five or six feet long. The female form is no different from that of the husband and woman, and the widows in the sea are more common and raised in the pond. When you have intercourse, you are no different from people, and you don't hurt people. "In addition to humans, the "Hidden Scales" written by the online writer You Sijie arranged for the female fish to fall in love with the dragon god.
Similar to Kyushu, cangyue, Shen Yingying, and Liduan, three female authors, built the "Cloud Waste" series. Among them, Cangyue's "Mirror Series" novels have made a very special setting for the Fish People: the Fish People have no gender in childhood, and they will have a gender after falling in love with a person, and they only love one person in their lives. Once the fish people have made a choice, there is no way to reverse the gender.
The male protagonist of "Mirror Twin Cities" is sumo, the new sea emperor of the fish people. Sumo had no gender in his infancy, and some people tried to use his power to make him transform into a woman to seduce the king, but Sumo fell in love with the crown princess Bai Tao, and thus became a man uncontrollably. This "born for love" setting is extremely tense, and also adds a lot of index to the shock of the love story.
The gender of the fish can be male, but the setting in the novel is mostly "beautiful" rather than handsome. Xiao Zhan's "Jade Bone Yao" is also adapted from Cangyue's "Zhu Yan", which belongs to the prequel to the "Mirror Series" novels. In this novel, the "Zhiyuan" is the second male who failed to win love, but his title is "the first beautiful man in the Biluo Sea".
Mermaids and mackerels are a combination of East and West
As the "blossoming of two flowers and one branch of each table" of Chinese and Western cultures, Chinese authors are not satisfied with exploring the fish people, but also began to create Western-style fantasy. Miao Juan has many TV series adaptations such as "The Translator" and "Broker", and "My Poseidon" is also among them. But the novel is better looking, suitable for Virgo readers — well-structured and well-ordered.
"My Poseidon" is born out of the mythical story of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and his wife Amphitrite. In Greek mythology, Amphitrite was robbed by Poseidon as a wife, and in the story of "My Poseidon", Poseidon actually loved Amphitrite deeply and recognized the modern Person Amphitrite as her. Yes, it is similar to the setting of the Korean drama "Ghosts". If one of the pleasures of reading a novel is substitution, a novel with a modern background is certainly better.
If the book famine needs to kill time, you may wish to open "Her 430 Million Years", without him, long enough. The setting of the underwater world alone is enough to produce a book.
Fan Li, a high school student, has an accident and wakes up at the bottom of the sea to find himself a fish. Shocked, the heroine wants to find a way back into the human world. She finds herself being used in soul swapping and desperately has to learn arcane arts if she wants to go back, in the process she meets her love in the underwater world and eventually chooses to stay... The author has done a lot of homework for this novel, in addition to constructing a huge underwater civilization world, but also making his own settings in the fields of politics and economy.
