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 it was dark, confusing the passing boatmen with her beautiful appearance of Leng Yan and her sad and moving songs, distracting them, losing their way and finally sinking into the river.

Mermaid's upper body is human (mostly female) and the 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 has no factual basis. However, in art, literature or painting, it is often used as a metaphor symbol with high credibility.

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 they are not happy 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.
