“Kunlun Mountain is indeed full of mystery.”
Ning Fei explained to the netizens.
“For example, the story of King Mu of Zhou. In the biography of Emperor Mu, it is said that King Mu of Zhou went to the Kunlun immortal world through the heaven ladder and paid a visit to the queen mother of the west. He more or less brought some mythical elements with him.”
“However, in Sima Qian’s historical records, there is also a description of this incident.”
“Sima Qian was meticulous in his administration of history. He researched many aspects of historical events and also understood some legends that were more believable among the people.”
“What he recorded was that the Queen Mother of the West was not the legendary golden mother. Instead, she was the leader of a tribe in the Kunlun region. When King Mu of Zhou traveled to the west, they met and had a relationship.”
“Later, she was deified.”
