Guilin is a holy land of human wisdom with a history of 10000 years. The history of Guilin can be traced back to the Neolithic Age 12000 years ago. About 10000 years ago, according to the relics found in baojiyan and Zengpiyan caves in the urban area, the Zengpiyan people have entered the stage of matriarchal clan society.
During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was the residence of "Baiyue people".
During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, Lingnan was called the place of Baiyue, and Guilin was a part of Baiyue. In 214 BC, the Qin Dynasty conquered Baiyue and set up Guilin County, Nanhai county and Xiang County in Lingnan.
In 214 B.C., after the first emperor of Qin Dynasty dug the Lingqu canal to connect Hunan and Li rivers, Guilin became an important town "connecting the sea area in the South and the Central Plains in the north". After Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan, Guilin's political, economic, cultural and military status became more and more prominent. The name of "Guilin" began in the Qin Dynasty.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there were prefectures and counties.
