Since ancient times, traces of "mermaids" have been found in the South China Sea on the mainland.
Back in the 80s of the 20th century, fishing boats were collecting their nets and returning home. The weight of the fishing net suddenly increased several times. The fisherman thought he had caught a valuable fish, so he immediately called for help and finally pulled up the net.
Surprisingly, what I caught wasn't a big fish. Everyone saw a strange creature with a human head and a fish body on the Internet. One resident said: "This is a shark from the South China Sea, which is said to be a creature that can live for thousands of years. ”
But some residents say it's a different fish creature, more specifically, the "mermaid" common in TV shows. But no one is sure what it is.
Are there really "mermaids" in the world? What is this strange creature?
Most people living in the South China Sea make a living by traveling by sea. The South China Sea is a great place for fishing. There are many types of fish, and all wild fish are contaminated. It is understood that there are more than 2,000 species of fish in the South China Sea. It has been a haven for fishermen since ancient times, and fishing is sure to be bountiful.
This happened in the 80s of the 20th century. The annual fishing moratorium has finally come to an end. The fishermen and the litou couldn't stand it anymore. They have had enough every year when the fishing is closed, but in order for the fish to continue to reproduce, they can only respond to the call of the land, not the fish.
"The moratorium is over, something needs to be done now." Lao Litou immediately invited the accompanying fishermen to the South China Sea to start construction.
Old Li Tou and his friends agreed to start work in the evening. As soon as the sun set, Lao Li and a fisherman put away their nets. They gained a lot that day. The fish caught by the first two people can be sold for a high price, so they decide to cast one last net. knock
But the last time something strange happened in the network. The network weighs heavier than the previous two networks combined. Because of this, it was difficult for Old Master Li to get excited: "Oh, it seems that he is going to get rich." "I must have caught a big fish. ”
Lao Li hurriedly collected the net, but because the net was too heavy, Lao Li could not bear it alone, and the fishermen helped and finally fished the net.
But when he went up to see this scene, Lao Li was stunned. He really caught a strange creature. Although Lao Li has experienced more than thirty years, he has never seen such a fish-like creature like a human. Fishing experience. At this time, the traveling fisherman said that it was most likely a "mermaid". Since this creature is so unknown that no one dares to define it without authority, they decided to hand over this "non-human and non-fish" creature to the relevant departments. Department.
After returning home, Lao Li Tou and his friends told the villagers about their fishing experience. Many residents call it a "shark man." "Shark Man" appeared not only on TV, but also in ancient books. Various news related to "mermaids" are listed above. According to the older generation, the tears of the "mermaid" can condense into pearls. They live in the deep sea for a long time and sometimes swim to shallow sea rocks to enjoy the scenery.
In addition, the famous book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" on the mainland also has many notes on "mermaids".
Looking at the "History", it can be seen that Qin Shi Huang knew that the "mermaid" had a long lifespan, so he sent people to find the "mermaid" and take the elixir to extend its lifespan.
In addition, the lamps used in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang were also made of "mermaid" oil. From this point of view, the "mermaid" existed historically.
Not only in the South China Sea, but also in many places, signs of "mermaid" activity have been found. The great explorer Magellan also recorded information about the "mermaid".
Magellan's fleet suddenly began to shake. It was thought that if this situation continued, Magellan's fleet would be buried in the sea, but the ship suddenly stopped again.
Magellan noticed a woman singing near the ship. The woman's upper body floats in the sea, but has no legs. However, they have the same tail as fish.
At that time, many people on the ship wanted to catch this woman and see who she was, but no matter how fast the boat drove, they couldn't catch her.
Although there were no cameras to record the faces of this strange creature at the time, Magellan continued to paint. Magellan's painting was completed hours before it completely disappeared under the sea. In Magellan's paintings, the creature looks like the "mermaid" seen on television today.
Also in the 80s of the 20th century, fossils were found while looking at the sea off the coast of Western Europe. The shape of this fossil is also fascinating, "human head fish body", with clear teeth shape. The expert studied for a long time and said: "This must be a legendary shark with a history of hundreds of millions of years. ”
But the expert wasn't sure, he just thought it was likely.
So does the "mermaid" really exist on Earth? Although the legends and books about "mermaids" have never stopped from ancient times to the present, many people say that this is just a fantasy. How can there be such a existence? Others believe that humans have nothing to do with fish, so the word "mermaid" doesn't mean anything.
Since the last century, the mainland has sent a number of experts in the mermaid industry to various areas of the deep sea to investigate whether "mermaids" really exist. However, experts are rooted in several fields, have studied for a long time, and still do not understand. I don't see signs of a "mermaid".
It seems that every time the news of finding the "mermaid" comes from the fishermen.
Therefore, experts who searched fruitlessly began to deny the existence of "mermaids", but some scholars still claimed that "mermaids" were not legends. Scientists say sharks may have been very close to humans in ancient times.
They lived in coastal areas and conducted various trades with the ancients.
Some Confucians also consider the "mermaid" to be another ancient ape-like creature. Like humans, they have the ability to think independently. However, in order to survive the fittest, they have no legs and cannot eat on land, so they choose to live in the deep sea. That's why "mermaids" also have their own unique language.
But later, as human development destroyed the marine environment, the survival of the "mermaid" was seriously affected. They can no longer reproduce, so their numbers decrease, and then disappear from the world.
But no one believed what the experts said was true. In modern times, some Confucians refer to "mermaids" as "dugong" marine mammals. The shape of the mermaid is very similar to that of the "mermaid" and looks strange from a distance. It makes people think that it is a creature with a "human head and a fish body", so it is also another way of saying "mermaid".
Although the news about "Mermaid" is always confusing and people are curious about "Mermaid", the words of experts are just speculation. Everyone wants to know if the "mermaid" really exists. Nowadays, science and technology are constantly advancing, and scientific research is becoming more and more advanced.
Although not everyone knows the true identity of the "shark man", it is believed that people will soon find out the information of the "shark man". At that time, everything will be revealed, and we are used to waiting for it to be revealed. The revealed answers are sure to surprise you.
