Was the Kunlun Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas the Kunlun Mountain of today?

As far as I know, the current Kunlun Mountain was created after the Central Plains people came to the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty. According to the description of the Kunlun Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, they believed that it was the Kunlun Mountain, so it has been maintained until now. It had been more than a thousand years since the Classic of Mountains and Seas was written. What do you think the Kunlun Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is now?

Answer 1

The "Kunlun Mountains" in the Classic of Mountains and Seas did not refer to the modern Kunlun Mountains but to a mountain system in ancient Chinese legends, which was usually considered a symbol related to the sky and immortals in Chinese mythology. The Kunlun Mountains had indeed been discovered in modern Chinese archaeology, but it was not directly related to the Kunlun Mountains described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
