Abstract

Guangxi is an autonomous region (officially called Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region) of the PRC, a region with special privileges created specifically for the Zhuang people. Guangxi’s location in the far south of China has placed it on the frontier of Chinese civilization throughout much of China’s history. The current name “Guang” means “expanse” and has been associated with the regions of Guangdong and Guangxi since the creation of the Guang Prefecture in AD 226.
