The basic descriptions of unicorns and mermaids were established here, and monster stories became widely known to the general public through medieval literature such as Thomas de Cantinpré's Treatise on All Things in the 13th century and J. Mandeville's Travels to the East in the 14th century. The Chinese Classic of Shan Hai is a treasure trove of descriptions of monsters in the East, and it discusses a deformed race of people similar to the Bremyae, known as the Form of Heaven. …

From [Natural History]

...At that time, doctrines such as "there is no leap in nature" and "perfect correspondence between land and the sea" were prevalent, and mermaids, for example, were thought to be animals that must have existed, both to fill the gap between humans and fish and as humans in the sea corresponding to humans on land.
