? To understand the history of Guilin, we should look at various historical and cultural sites in Guilin. The history of Guilin can be traced back to the precious cave sites in the late Paleolithic period 30 thousand years ago. The "Lin Baoren" who lives here is the earliest original resident of Guilin, and it can still be determined. In the Qin Dynasty, Yaoshan Temple was built on the highest peak in the northeast of Guilin, so the name "Yaoshan" has been used ever since. ?

Geographically, Guilin is located in the northeast of Guangxi, ancient South Vietnam, Chu of Warring States and Guilin County of Qin Dynasty. Guilin was under the jurisdiction of the central government in its early years, and the rulers of past dynasties set up government jurisdiction here. In the 28th year of Qin Shihuang (2 19 BC), Qin Jun 500,000 went south to unify Baiyue. ?

Historically, Guilin was at the intersection of Jingchu and Baiyue because of its unique geographical environment. It has become a combination of Central Plains culture and Lingnan culture, and a fusion of Central Plains culture, Confucianism culture and Lingnan Baiyue culture. For thousands of years, the rise of these cultures has accumulated profound cultural connotations, such as prehistoric culture represented by dermal rock sites, water conservancy culture represented by Lingqu, and maharaja culture and education culture represented by Jingjiang Wang Fu, Tomb and Qing Palace. The landscape culture represented by cliff stone carvings and landscape poems, the Buddhist culture represented by Xishan, Caishan, Fu Bo Cliff Statues, Kaiyuan Temple and qixia temple, and the Long March culture represented by the bloody battle between the Red Army and Xiangjiang leaders.
