Kunlun Mountain in Xinjiang: Many myths and legends handed down in ancient China are related to Kunlun Mountain, which is considered as the birthplace of the Chinese nation. Where is its exact location? Many people think it is in the mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such as Kunlun Mountain (now Kunlun Mountain), Bayan Kara, Animaqing Mountain, Gangdise Mountain, Karakorum Mountain and so on. The problem in the mountainous areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is that the average altitude is 500-6000 meters, the climate is cold and humid, the air is thin, and there is permafrost all the year round, which is not suitable for developing agriculture.
Kunlun Mountain is located at the intersection of Xinjiang and Tibet, so it is distributed in both provinces.
Minshan, Sichuan: Minshan has beautiful scenery and profound cultural heritage. It has the world natural heritage Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong and Giant Panda Habitat, the world cultural heritage Qingcheng Mountain-Dujiangyan, the world natural cultural heritage Emei Mountain-Leshan Giant Buddha World Heritage. It is the "Kunlun Mountain on the Sea", the birthplace of immortal culture and Taoism, and the humanistic female ancestor, sericulture god, tourism god Leizu and water control hero Dayu in ancient myths and legends of China. Minshan Mountain is the region with the richest high-grade tourism resources in China.
Minshan Mountain was called "Kunlun Mountain on the Sea" in ancient times.
And Kunlun Mountain are two places.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has always been called Kunlun Mountain, and Minshan Mountain in Sichuan is only called Kunlun Mountain in the sea in ancient books or myths, not directly called Kunlun Mountain.
Hainan is called Kunlun Mountain because Kunlun Mountain is the source of ancient myths in China. According to legend, the Dojo of the Buddha in the early Yuan Dynasty was in Kunlun Mountain, and the Queen Mother of the West was also said to have a residence in Kunlun Mountain.
Because there are many myths and legends in Minshan Mountain, and as far as China's myth system is concerned, it is almost equal to Kunlun Mountain, and it is located in inland Sichuan, so it is called Kunlun Mountain at sea.
As for when Minshan is no longer called Kunlun Mountain, I can tell you that officially speaking, Minshan has never really been named Kunlun Mountain.
The book Shan Hai Jing has been recorded and filled by generations since ancient times. It can be said that it is the earliest paleogeography and humanities annals in China.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are already sayings of Minshan and Kunlun.
Therefore, Kunlun Mountain and Minshan Mountain have had this name since ancient times.
Kunlun Mountain in Hainan is just another name for Minshan Mountain, which is similar to what I said about China's Bethune.
