Historical evolution

According to the xiangsizhou cultural site in Pingnan County, there were human activities in ancient Guigang about 8000 years ago. In the 33rd year of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty (214 BC), the Qin Dynasty conquered Nanyue and established Guilin, Xiang and Nanhai counties. Among them, the governance of Guilin county is located in Bushan county (now Guigang City). In the third year of emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty (204 BC), Zhao Tuo, a South China Sea Captain, attacked Guilin county and Xiang County, established Nanyue state, changed Guilin County into Yuzhou, and Bushan County belonged to Yuzhou. In the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty (111 BC), the army sent by Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty calmed down the rebellion of the Prime Minister of the South Yue State, such as Lu Jia, and changed Yuzhou into Yulin County, which governed Bushan county. In 1989, Wang Mang established a new dynasty, changed Yulin County to Yuping County, and ruled Bushan county. In the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), Yuping county was called Yulin County again, and Bushan County belonged to Yulin County and was still the seat of the county. Later, from the eastern Wu Dynasty, the two Jin Dynasties to the Southern Dynasties, Bushan county was the seat of Yulin County for a long time. During the song and Qi dynasties (420-502), Yulin County was located in Guigang City. In the period of Liang and Chen (503-589) in the Southern Dynasties, the original name of Bushan county was still followed. Yuping county was changed to Yulin County, Huai'an county to huaize County, and Longshan County was set up in addition. The four counties are in Guigang City today, belonging to Nanding Prefecture, and Bushan County to Yinzhou. In 590, southern Dingzhou was renamed Yinzhou. In the second year of Daye (606), Bushan, Longshan, Wuping and huaize counties were called Yulin County, and Madu County belonged to Guangzhou. After that, the name of Bushan county was no longer used.

In 612, the four counties of Yulin, huaize, Yishan (formerly Madu county) and Chaoshui were set up in Wude of Tang Dynasty, and the general manager's office of Nanyin Prefecture was set up, which governed Longshan and belonged to Lingnan road. In the ninth year of Zhenguan (635), the above-mentioned four counties were changed to Guizhou (nanyinzhou was changed to Guizhou); in the ninth year of Tianbao (742), they were changed to huaize County; in the first year of Qianyuan (758), they were restored to Guizhou, with four counties of lingyulin, huaize, Yishan and Chaoshui. Guizhou and Yulin County are located in Guigang City. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (917-971), Yuping (formerly Yulin), huaize, Yishan and Chaoshui belonged to Guizhou. The prefectural government and Yuping county government are located in Guigang City. In 972, huaize County, Yishan County, Chaoshui county and Yuping county were named Yulin County. The state, county and county levels are all located in today's Guigang City. Huaize county was withdrawn in Yuan Dynasty, and Yulin County was directly under Guizhou. In 1305, the name of Yulin County was no longer inherited in Guizhou. In the second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1369), Guizhou was demoted to Guixian County, which is the capital of Xunzhou. In the Qing Dynasty, Guixian was the capital of Xunzhou, Guangxi Province. Guixian belonged to Xunzhou capital in 1912, Yujiang road in July in 1913, Cangwu Road in 1914, Cangwu administrative inspector's office in November in 1927, Cangwu civil League District in 1930, Wuzhou civil League District in April in 1932, Wuzhou administrative supervision district in March in 1934, and Wuzhou administrative supervision district in 1940 (3) the District of administrative supervision (i.e. the Commissioner of administrative supervision and the office of the security commander of the third district); from 36 to 38 (1947 to 1949), it was changed to the Ninth District of administrative supervision.

After the founding of the people's Republic of China, Guixian county was initially under the jurisdiction of Yulin County. In July 1951, it belonged to Nanning special district; in August of the same year, it belonged to Binyang special district. August 1952 belongs to Rongxian district. In July 1958, it belonged to Yulin special area. In 1971, the special district was changed into a district, and GUI county belongs to Yulin district. On December 20, 1988, with the approval of the State Council, Guixian county was removed from the county to build a city and renamed Guigang City, which still belongs to Yulin area. In 1993, Guigang was listed as a national first-class open port. On October 27, 1995, with the approval of the State Council, Guigang City at the county level was upgraded to a prefecture level city, and was established on June 22, 1996. Guigang City at prefecture level governs Gangbei District, Gangnan District, qintang administrative district and hepingnan County, and takes charge of Guiping city. On March 6, 2003, with the approval of the State Council, qintang administrative region was abolished and county-level qintang district was established.
