This book restores the formation process of Guangxi's high-level administrative regions and Guangxi's frontiers. Since then, the central dynasty's governance of the Lingnan frontiers has mainly centered on Guangxi. It clarifies the relationship between the changes in Guangxi's geographical structure in the past dynasties and the adjustment of the central dynasty's border governance strategies, and points out the dynasty's strategies for governing Guangxi's frontiers. It has experienced a major transformation from the ancient concept of feudal borders, "domestic control as the mainstay, external protection as a supplement" to the modern territorial concept of "protecting external borders and protecting the border"; it has systematically discussed various factors that influenced the governance of Guangxi's frontiers by successive dynasties, and conducted an in-depth analysis of the structure and mechanism of these factors.
