Buzhou Shan

This article asserts that Mt. Everest is the same as the mythical Buzhou Shan. This is anachronistic speculation. The knowledge that Mt. Everest is the tallest mountain in the world is modern. The Chinese name for Mt. Everest is Zhu mu lang ma feng, derived from the Tibetan language name, Chomolungma. There is no evidence from any credible scholarly source that I can find for the Chinese identifying Everest as Buzhou Shan. In other wikipedia articles refering to the mountain, Buzhou Shan is translated as Buzhou Mountain, so I will follow this convention. --Ouyangwulong (talk) 07:09, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Kanghui"

Alt name "Kanghui" tagged as citation needed. Chinese WP states it is said that his name is Jiang Kanghui and he descends from the Yan Emperor. The ref says, 《国语·周语》：“共工之从孙四岳佐禹。”贾逵注说：“共工，炎帝之后，姜姓也。”, but I don't know about the "Kanghui" part. — kwami (talk) 09:01, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing it, since we'll be getting traffic from the TNO naming poll. Here's what I cut. I suspect there might be diffs in US/UK pronunciation parallel to 'fengshui'.

also known as^{[citation needed]} Kanghui (/ˈkæŋhuːi/ KANG-hoo-ee) [ed.: ends like 'feng-shui' does in the OED]
