What was the name of Mount Everest before liberation?
In Tibetan, "Qomolangma Job-Molangmali" means "Mother of the Earth". In Tibetan, Jo-mo "Mount Everest" means goddess, while Gland-Ma "Gland-Ma" should be understood as female elephant (in Tibetan, Gland-Ma has two meanings: Yanagi Takayama and female elephant). According to myth, Mount Qomolangma is the palace where Ring Gaga lived. However, there is another English expression that appears many times in middle school textbooks, that is, Mount Everest or Mount Everest. In the west, this mountain peak is usually called Mount Everest to commemorate George Everest, the director of the Indian Survey Bureau, who was in charge of surveying the Himalayas when Britain occupied Nepal. Nepal's name is Sagarmatha, which means "Goddess of the Sky". This name was coined by the Nepalese government in the 1960s. Because the Nepalese people did not name the mountain before, the government did not choose to use transliteration for political reasons. The lotus posthumous work unearthed in 1258 was named "Lachi", and Sangji, a monk of the Kagyu Sect, praised Mirariba Road as "the most snowy" in songji. 17 17 years, the surveyors of the Qing dynasty surveyed the panoramic view of the imperial land in the area of Mount Everest.

The newspaper said that 280 years before the English name "Mount Everest" was used in the West, the symbol on the map of China was named "Mount Everest". Taiwan Province Province has traditionally called this mountain "Mount Everest" and adopted this free translation in textbooks. In recent years, people began to accept the name of "Mount Everest" in Chinese mainland, but it is still not universal.
