The ocean is rich with life energy and beautiful legends. Our history has enriched our lives with tales after tales of these marine legends from both the East and the West.<\/p>\n
Venus, the goddess that governed navigation and harvest in Greek mythology, was said to be born of sea foam. She rose up from the tides in a seashell while covered in lights of magical colors. Even the gods and goddesses were amazed by her birth and her beauty.<\/p>\n
The mermaid is also a beautiful story from the ocean. According to Chinese legend, two thousand years ago, Qinshihuang, the first emperor of China, wanted to obtain the elixir of immortality. He sent Taoist alchemist Xu Fu to the eastern seas to find the elixir. He also encountered the \u201cJiaoren\u201d figure that were illustrated in black and white prints in the \u201cClassic of the Mountain and the Seas\u201d, known as mermaid from the West. The mermaid has also appeared in numerous fairy tales, cartoon and films with romantic stories.<\/p>\n
