桂林郡设置始末考辨

On the Establishment of Guilin County

作为地方行政建置,桂林郡是今广西地区最早纳入秦朝大一统郡制之一,也是岭南地区时置三个郡中,辖域全部在今广西境域,占据今广西绝大部分地区的郡。但其郡治、辖县,因缺乏最初的第一手数据记载,自汉以降史志依旧阙如或追记、补注欠准,加上近现代旧志考据或考古附会,众说纷纭,莫衷一是。试图从可考史志资料作一概略梳理,主要针对与其郡、县治争议相关各种说法,进行来龙去脉和纷争焦点之厘清,以便有心研习史志者作出更为明智的分析。

As a regional administrative establishment, Guilin County is one of the three counties in Lingnan Area and earliest included into the grand unity of whole counties in the Qin Dynasty. Most of today＇s counties in Guangxi used to be under the administranon of Guilin County. Unfortunately, the lack of the original firsthand records and daras makes it difficult to find a description of the exact areas under its administration. This paper sorts out roughly those available local ehorography materials, focuses on the related statements to the controversy of administration and clarifies the sequences.
