Merlion, the symbol of Singapore, is there any meaning or statement?

The design of Merlion's head is inspired by a legend in Singapore's history. According to the Malay Chronicle, in the 4th century A.D./KLOC-0, a prince named Sanfo Qi was caught in a storm while sailing at sea, and his boat drifted to this island. As soon as he landed, he saw a magical beast, and his entourage told him that it was a lion. He named Singapore "Singapura" (Sanskrit means "Lion City"). As for the fishtail shape of the Merlion statue, it floats between layers of waves, which not only represents the characteristics of Singapore from fishing port to commercial port, but also symbolizes the ancestors who traveled across the ocean to make a living in the south.

Merlion is a fictional animal with a lion's head. It was designed in 1964 by Mr Fraser Bruner, then curator of Van Crever Aquarium. Two years later, it was adopted as a symbol by Singapore Tourism Board, and it has been used until 1997. During this period, Merlion has become the representative of Singapore. Merlion statue is located on the bank of Singapore River in the city, which is the symbol and symbol of Singapore. The statue is 8.6 meters high and weighs 70 tons. A stream of clear water spouted from the lion's mouth. Completed by the sculptor Mr. Lin Lang Xin and his two children in May 1972. There are four stone tablets in a small field on the back of the Merlion statue. The inscription tells the story of the Merlion symbolizing Singapore.

Design inspiration of Merlion Head: According to the Malay Chronicle, in the 4th century/kloc-A.D., a prince named San Niro Udama from the "Kingdom of Sanfo Qi" came to Singapore on his way to Malacca. As soon as he landed, he saw a magical beast, and his entourage told him it was a lion. So he named the island "Singapore", which means "Lion City" in Sanskrit, and the fishtail symbolizes the beauty of crossing the ocean that year.
