Guangdong and Guangxi (also known as the Guangdong-Guangdong Zone), also known as Guangdong, is the collective name of Guangdong and Guangxi. The joint name was established in Jingtai, Ming Daizong in the third year, and Yu Qian, a famous minister, requested the establishment of a governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Ming Xianzong Chenghua became a custom in the sixth year. The seat of the government was located in Wuzhou (now Guangxi), where Guangdong and Guangxi meet, and moved to Zhaoqing in Jiajing in the forty-third year (1564).

The scope of Guangdong and Guangxi used to be the land of Baiyue in ancient times. In the pre-Qin period, Guangdong and Guangxi belonged to Nanyue, Xi 'ou, Luoyue and other tribes. In the pre-Qin period, the tribes in the coastal area south of the Yangtze River were often collectively referred to as "Yue", and in the literature they were called "Baiyue" or "Zhuyue" and "Baiyue". After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the meaning of the word "Guangdong" narrowed, referring to Lingnan area, or "Southern Guangdong". Until modern times, Guangdong and Guangxi were still called "Guangdong".

The origin of Guangdong and Guangxi:

During the Three Kingdoms period, Soochow divided Lingnan Jiaozhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty into two parts, namely Guangzhou and Jiaozhou. In the Sui Dynasty, it was renamed Fanzhou to avoid Yang Guang's taboo, but it was changed back to Guangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that since the Three Kingdoms period, "Guang" has become the official place name of this place, but the old name was used in the Song Dynasty.

After the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Nanyue State, which was ruled by Lingnan, Jiaozhou was established, and the administrative office of Jiaozhou was named Guangxin, which means "it is appropriate to spread kindness and trust when you first open Guangdong". Therefore, when Soochow later divided Jiaozhou into two parts, it called one Guangzhou and the other Jiaozhou.

Guangxin in those days was Fengkai County in Guangdong today, which has always been the dividing line between Guangdong and Guangxi. Therefore, the most original source of "Guang" becoming a place is an idea that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed majesty. Guangdong and Guangxi are two ancient provinces.
