In the historical legends of our country and various ancient books, there are many records about the fish people, coincidentally, there are also many legends about mermaids in the West.
This has made people in later generations have a lot of associations about this, but the two sides actually have little to do with each other.
In ancient times, whether there were really fish people or mermaids is now untestable, according to current research, the prototype of the mermaid legend in the West is actually a special mammal in the sea - dugong.
The image of the mermaid belongs to the same kind as the fish in people's impressions, and both are human fish tails, but in fact, in the legend, the two are actually very different.
In our country's legend, the fish people live in the sea, often haunted in the deep sea, will not easily go ashore, from the appearance of the people, the face of the fish people is beautiful, the body has parotid glands can breathe underwater.
Legend has it that the reason why there are no fish people now is actually because as early as the pre-Qin period, Qin Shi Huang killed all the fish people in order to make his tomb ever after, and boiled it into oil and placed it in the tomb, of course, this statement cannot be verified now.
In the legend, the appearance of the fish people and ordinary people are not much different, in addition to living in the sea there is no special ability, and the mermaid is different, in the legend, although the mermaid and the fish people are human fish tail, but have a very special power, in the sea mermaid will use the song to confuse the passers-by, and then eat each other.
In Western myths and legends, mermaids are actually a kind of kraken, not belonging to the righteous camp of good and orderly, but evil beings, although their IQ is not high, they are extremely good at hunting.
Legend has it that in the early days, mermaids did not look very good, and can even be said to be very ugly, and the human tails inherited the biggest shortcomings of the race, and there were even rumors that the original mermaids could scare their prey to death just by virtue of their looks.
In later legends, the reason why mermaids become beautiful is because their ugly appearance is not conducive to predation, so under the evolution of the years, mermaids gradually become fairy-like fairies in legends, while male mermaids almost disappear in myths and legends.
At present, the myths and legends about mermaids handed down in the West are mostly females, and their appearance is almost unique.
The existence of these two creatures is still very controversial, and it was once determined in Pliny's Natural History that there were mermaids, which the magazine said: "They are real, but they are rough and scaly." ”
It is reported that a mermaid carcass has also been found on the coast of the Red Sea.
There are many records and reports about mermaids in ancient and modern China and abroad, and it seems that there are really fish people in the world.
During one dive, 72 village ruins were found on the seabed.
After this news came out, many people paid attention, and the scientific expedition team also found that the village did have traces of biological activities, and even the existence of daily necessities, which showed that the village did once live with intelligent creatures.
When people think that the "mermaid country" has been found, the true source of the village has also been examined, which is actually more than 400 years ago, because of the earthquake in the Ming Dynasty, this area sinks into the village, and the traces left after people flee are not the "mermaid country".
According to the history books, it is unlikely that this place is a "mermaid relic", after all, the records say that the fish people lived in the deep sea, and how can traces of fish people appear in the shallow sea.
