The origin of the name of Kunlun Mountain

There is a saying that Bayan Kara, a branch of Kunlun Mountain, is the source of the Yellow River. Because this area was called "Kunlun" in ancient times, Kunlun Mountain was called Kunlun Mountain. We have always been skeptical about this statement. We believe that "Kunlun" is "Kunlun Mountain", and Kunlun Mountain is Kunlun Mountain. It is not only the "ancestor of thousands of mountains" in the cultural history of the Chinese nation, but also the mountain of human relations in the hearts of China people.
