Mermaid, also known as mermaid, Jiao Ren, is a mysterious aquatic animal with a human tail. It lives in marine waters and often appears in fairy tales, stories, strange stories, fantasy novels or ancient legends and historical records. This is a famous artistic image.

Legend has it that mermaids are girded. Most of them are beautiful women in the upper body and beautiful fishtails in the lower body. The whole body is very attractive and easy to escape quickly. They are divided into men and women. They are soulless, as ruthless as the sea, and their voices are usually as deceptive as their appearance.

Suits have many characteristics, such as temptation, vanity, beauty, cruelty and desperate love. It can not only live underwater, but also stay on land for a short time. In addition, due to the imagination of modern people, it can be amphibious and even has magical abilities.

The image of a mermaid:

The familiar mermaid image originated from Lorelei, a beautiful mermaid often mentioned in German legends and poems. She often appeared on the Rhine River when the sky was dark and unclear, confusing the passing boatmen with her beautiful appearance and plaintive songs of Leng Yan, distracting them, losing their way and finally sinking into the river.

Mermaid's upper body is human's lower body is fish's body, which is the basic form. At that time, people probably misunderstood dugong, a mammal living in today's ocean, as a monster, so it was widely circulated. But this statement is not based on facts, but is more credible as a metaphorical symbol in art, literature or painting.

Mermaids are mostly used to symbolize very unfortunate things, such as the mermaid in Andersen's fairy tales. In most literary works, mermaids have a tragic ending and can't get happiness in the end. Incidentally, although the familiar mermaid sculpture has only one tail fin in the lower body, in ancient western paintings, mermaids usually have two tail fins, which is quite incredible.
