Guilin has a long history. According to the relics found in Baojiyan and Zhupiyan caves in urban areas, it is verified that Zhupiyan people have entered the matriarchal society stage, about 1 10,000 years ago.
During the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, this was the residence of Baiyue people. Qin Shihuang established Guilin, Elephant and Nanhai counties, which is the earliest origin of the name "Guilin", but the county governance is not in today's Guilin city. In the sixth year of Ding Yuan in Han Dynasty (BC 165438+ BC 0 1), Shi 'an County was established here, which belonged to Lingling County of Jingzhou. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was changed to Shi 'an Houguo. In the Three Kingdoms, it belonged to Shu first, and then to Wu. In the first year of Ganlu (265), Shi 'an County was established, and the county seat is now Guilin. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he was the general manager of Lingnan Guizhou. In the 4th year of Tang Wude (62 1), Li Jingxiu built a city in the south of Duxiufeng. In the eighth year of Zhenguan (634), it was renamed Lingui County, belonging to Shi 'an County, Guizhou Province. Three years after photochemical process (900 years), it belongs to Jingjiang Festival. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Southern Han Dynasty belonged to Chu and Guizhou. In the Song Dynasty, it belonged to Guangxi, Guangnan West Road, and later to Jingjiang Prefecture. The Yuan Dynasty belonged to Jingjiang Road, Zhongshu Province, Guangxi. Ming and Qing Dynasties belonged to Guilin, Guangxi. In the Republic of China, it belonged to Guangxi Province.

After the restoration, it is still a city under the jurisdiction of Guangxi Province. Historically, it was the capital of Guangxi for a long time. 1949165438+122 October, Guilin was liberated as a city under the jurisdiction of Guangxi Province, and 1958 was renamed as Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
culture
Guilin has a profound cultural background and is famous for its landscape culture. Its essence is Central Plains culture, and its source is Xing 'an Lingqu. It connects the Yangtze River water system and the Pearl River water system, and transports the advanced Central Plains culture to the whole Lingnan. As the saying goes, there is a Great Wall in the north and a Lingqu in the south. Guo Moruo believes that Lingqu "echoes the North and South of the Great Wall in good faith and is a wonder of the world." Yan Bozan said: "I don't know the emperor until I reach the shore of Lingqu." This is the academic evaluation of Lingqu.
Guilin landscape culture has a tangible carrier, that is, Guihai forest of steles. There are more than 2,000 cliff carvings in Guilin Grottoes, which is definitely the first in the world. Among them, the cliff stone carving, which can be called a national treasure, has Mifei's Self-portrait of Fu Bo. Therefore, there has always been a saying in Guilin that "seeing mountains is picturesque and reading history". The integration of art, literature, history and landscape is a wonderful annotation of the unity of man and nature.
The whole city of Guilin is a symbol of landscape culture. Mountains and rivers are suitable places for China people to put their bodies and minds. The city in the city is Jingjiang Wang Cheng, with Du Xiufeng, the pillar in the south, as the center, and Diecai Mountain, which stretches from east to west and is tall and handsome, just becomes the "backer" of Du Xiufeng and Jingjiang Wang Cheng. There are Tiefeng Mountain and Parrot Mountain in the north, Lijiang River as its shelter in the east, Gui Hu as its support in the west and Ronghu Lake as its attachment in the south. Coupled with the icing on the cake of taohuajiang, the ingenious embellishment of Elephant Trunk Mountain, Fu Bo Mountain and Baoji Mountain, a unique landscape city surfaced.
In addition, through Lingqu, the Central Plains culture has been advancing from north to south, bringing Huize's popular philosophy of poetry and prose to Bagui, opening up a cultural and educational system of people's wisdom, and bringing the people of Bagui the idea of life progress that learning is the best and serving the officials for the people. During the Southern Dynasties, Yan Yanzhi, who was called an official of Guilin by Xie Yan, studied and wrote in Duxiufeng for many years, becoming the first cultural envoy of the Central Plains in Guilin Cultural City. Later, Fu Xue of the Tang Dynasty appeared at the foot of Duxiufeng Mountain, which was the first Fu Xue in Guilin history. In the Qing Dynasty, there were four top scholars from Gongyuan, ranking fifth in the country, and their fame still shines in the first square of Jingjiang Wangcheng. Contemporary Guangxi Normal University is the university with the strongest strength in humanities in Guangxi. Obviously, Yueyan, named after Yan Yanzhi, has become the cultural and educational center of Guilin, and its culture has spread for thousands of years.
One legend is that ...
Guilin rice noodle
The legend of Guilin rice noodles has been told for many years, but no one knows it clearly and few people have studied it. Legend has it that Qin Shihuang sent Shi Lu to lead migrant workers to dig the Lingqu, and the Lingqu was completed. Accompanied by Prime Minister Lisi, Qin Shihuang toured Guilin's landscape incognito. His brother has a hobby. He likes to drink carp and fish belly wine. It's crisp. When I came to Lijiang River, I saw, Wow, the carp in Lijiang River can be held by hand. I was very happy. He patted his ass and asked the boatman to bring it quickly and gave me a lot of money. I don't know how many carp it takes to fry a sea bowl in one meal. Qin Shihuang stayed in the upper reaches of Lijiang River for half a month and killed thousands of carp. Magikarp jumped into the Lijiang River and vowed to turn Qin Shihuang's cruise ship over and let him die! Hebo knew this warning and said that the emperor's things should not be tampered with. You should find another way quickly. Magikarp used his quick wits to make fish whiskers (rice noodles) and fish bellies (powder) from rice. Qin Shihuang ate it and was amazed. Since then, Guilin rice noodles have come out.
Later, Qin Shihuang "burned books to bury Confucianism" and became an eternal tyrant. The people didn't like him. He simply changed the legend of Guilin rice noodles into a young man who was ferrying on the taohuajiang and saved Magikarp from the Lijiang River. Magikarp asked him what he wanted in return. The young man is a dutiful son, saying that his old mother is ill and can't eat. Magikarp listened to him and taught him how to make rice noodles. After the old mother ate it, it was delicious and digestible, and she recovered. Because the young man is Yao, it is said that rice noodles were first made by Yao compatriots. In the past, there was always a wooden carp hanging on the embossed lattice window of the rice noodle workshop, which was based on these legends.
