What does Guangzhou in Guangdong and Guangxi mean?

Guangxin in Guangdong and Guangxi refers to Guangxin, which is bounded by Guangdong in the east and Guangxi in the west. Guangxin County, Cangwu County in Han Dynasty, is located at the intersection of water and stagnant water, which means "opening Guangdong at first, spreading kindness and trusting widely".

In 264 (the seventh year of Emperor Yongan's reign), Wu Dong, the Three Kingdoms, divided four counties from Jiaozhou, namely Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin and Gaoliang (now most of Guangdong and Guangxi), and set up Guangzhou to administer Panyu, hence the name Guangzhou, hence the word "Guang" in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Guangxin County, because of its unique geographical location, has been an important transportation hub in Lingnan since ancient times. The rulers of the Han Dynasty also attached great importance to this place, and the office of secretariat of cross-toe was built here. At the same time, due to its unique geographical location, Guangxin County became an important hub of the Maritime Silk Road in Han Dynasty, which played an important role in the development of Lingnan area and the economic exchange and cultural integration between Lingnan and the Central Plains, and became the political, economic and cultural center of Lingnan area in Han Dynasty.

Guangfu:

Guangfu is a historical place name, which is related to the names of administrative divisions in history. The establishment of the "mansion" in Lingnan dates back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and both Liang and Chen dynasties had the viceroy mansion in Guangzhou. In the Tang Dynasty, the "Guangzhou Dudufu" in Lingnan, referred to as "Guangfu", was the source of the title of "Guangfu". Guangzhou fu, as a first-class administrative region, began in the Ming Dynasty. Guangfu people are short for guangzhou fu people. Guangfu originally refers to the Cantonese-speaking Han residents in guangzhou fu. ?

With the research of Gu Guangxin, new achievements have been made in anthropology, linguistics and other fields. The main area of Guguangxin is Cantonese, and the Xijiang River Basin is the main distribution area of Cantonese. Some scholars explain "Guangfu" by administrative division, think that "Guangfu" means "Guangxin County", and put forward that "it is the capital of Guangxin".
