Etymology

Pinyin transliteration of (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Mandarin 廣西广西 (Guǎngxī). 广 (guǎng) itself means "expanse", and has been associated with the region since the creation of Guang Prefecture in 226 AD. "Guangxi" and neighbouring Guangdong literally mean "Guang West" and "Guang East". Together, Guangdong and Guangxi are called the "Two Guangs" (兩廣两广 (Liǎngguǎng) Liǎngguǎng).
