Do you know why it's called "kukuroer", The Mongolian people call QinghaiLake "kukuzhuoer", which is what we call "kukuruoer". Modern geological researchshows that the Qinghai Lake was formed about 20 million years ago, and now theQinghai Tibet Plateau is a vast ocean. Later, due to the compression of thecontinental plate and the crustal movement, the seabed gradually uplifted, TheQinghai Tibet Plateau, known as "the third pole in the world", has graduallyformed. The Qinghai Lake was formed by fault collapse in the process of crustaluplift. There are also some very interesting legends about its formation. Forexample, it was formed by 108 rivers from the youngest son of the old DragonKing in Crystal Palace. For another thing, when the monkey king was in the sky,Fight with Erlang God. Erlang God was chased here, feeling hungry and thirsty,and found the holy spring covered by stone slabs. After he ran to drink a lot,he forgot to cover the stone slabs, and the holy spring rolled out and mergedinto a great lake. At this time, the monkey king had caught up with him. ErlangGod quickly grabbed five stones, Later, these five stones turned into five smallislands in the lake. Erlang Shen didn't even care about the food he cooked.
