Please talk about the origin and meaning of "Bagui" in "Bagui Land".

The origin of "Eight Guis" evolved from "Eight Trees in Guilin" in the Ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas. The meaning of Bagui originally refers to the descendants of Guilin and Guangxi.

Guangxi has been called "Gui" and "Bagui" for a long time. After textual research, the reputation of "Eight Gui" evolved from the ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas. Guangxi is rich in osmanthus trees, which are connected into forests. There are two kinds of osmanthus trees. One is medicinal osmanthus, whose whole body is a treasure, leaves can be used to extract oil, and skin is a valuable medicinal material and can be used to make spices. Since ancient times, it has been a precious item for local governments to pay tribute to the court; One is ornamental osmanthus fragrans, which is white and yellowish in color and elegant in fragrance.

The laudatory name of Guangxi can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. One reason is that Guangxi is rich in osmanthus trees, and the other reason is that Qin Shihuang established Guilin County, which was named after Guilin, which was rich in osmanthus trees. The capital of Guangxi in previous dynasties was located in Guilin, which expanded into another name for Guangxi. The "eight" of the "eight guis" means big and numerous, lush. A large area of osmanthus trees has grown into forests and osmanthus flowers are everywhere, so it is called Guilin. The special reputation of osmanthus trees and osmanthus flowers is called "Eight Guis". "Eight" generally refers to large and many, but it is not an exact number.
