What is the legendary barrier of Kunlun Mountain?

The barrier of Kunlun Mountain is a myth, but the reality does not exist.

According to ancient mythology, there lived a fairy named "Queen Mother of the West" in Kunlun Mountain. She had a leopard head and was served by two bluebirds. She is the true god of Taoism, sharing the cultivation of immortals with Dong.

Kunlun Mountain is the first mountain in China, Wanzu Mountain, Kunlun Mountain or Yushan Mountain. It is a mountain system in Central Asia and the backbone of the mountain system in western China.

Extended data

As the "ancestor of thousands of mountains", Kunlun Mountain has a prominent position in the cultural history of the Chinese nation. The ancients called Kunlun Mountain China's "Long Mai ancestor". For example, Li Bai's quatrain "If you don't meet Yushan, you will meet Yaotai Moon", Chairman Mao's zhanghua "was born out of the sky and the Kunlun Mountains", Nu Wa tried to mend the sky, Jingwei reclaimed the sea, the flat peach festival of the Queen Mother of the West, the white snake stole the fairy grass, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon and so on.

This is recorded in detail in Shan Hai Jing. Many well-known novels, such as China's classic The Journey to the West, Romance of the Gods, modern classic novels, Jin Yong's Eight Dragons, Tong Hua's Once Promised, Cang Yue's Nana Yi Xue, Muye Zhang's Ghost Blowing the Lamp, and the indifferent days of silly laughter and rebirth, all mention Kunlun Mountain. ?

Many myths and legends handed down in ancient China are related to Kunlun Mountain, which is considered as the birthplace of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. However, Kunlun Mountain is not the "Kunlun Mountain" mentioned in many myths, but the Kunlun Mountain. The mythical Kunlun Mountain is the "Kunlun Fairy Mountain" that exists in reality.
