桂林郡 / Guilin Commandery

桂林郡 / Guilin Commandery enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》123-2｜古代时期的“倒插门”到底有多危险 as one of the three commanderies 秦国 establishes after the 214 BCE southern campaign against 百越. The episode locates it broadly in today’s Guangxi and treats it as part of Qin’s attempt to turn southern conquest into direct imperial administration.

The commandery matters because it moves the Baiyue branch beyond Wang Jian’s earlier Jiangnan notice. Qin now pushes deeper into Lingnan, drafts marginal groups for the campaign, and follows military occupation with commandery naming and convict settlement.
