The difference between an eel and an eel

Anchovies and eels are two different kinds of fish, and they appear in traditional Chinese culture and myths and legends. These two fishes do not exist biologically; they are more literary legends and symbolic symbols. The following is a detailed introduction to the differences between these two types of fish:

Eel:

Kun and eel are most likely a combination of two different fish. Among them, "Kun" is a legendary creature in ancient Chinese mythology. It is said to resemble an extremely huge fish and is also described as a supernatural fish. Its image often appears in ancient Chinese documents and mythological stories. Kun is considered a very large, powerful and mysterious being. It has been given symbolic meaning in many literary works, representing great power and change.

eel:

The eel is a real fish, belonging to the order Anguilla, which mainly lives in fresh water or sea water. They usually have elongated bodies, are rich in oil, and are a popular food fish.
