Textual research in the past dynasties, some people think that it was transformed from what Fan Chengda said in the Song Dynasty, "The beauty of Guilin should be the best in the world"; Some people think that it originated from the phrase "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and there is no police for three years" in the article "Rebuilding Xiangnan Building" by Zengbo Li, a history of Guizhou in the late Southern Song Dynasty. Later generations used this quotation and turned it into the best landscape in Guilin. It is also said that "Guilin's landscape falls first" in the poem "Water Plants on the Lijiang River" by Jin Wuxiang, governor of Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty. There are Zhang Xun's "Guilin's landscape is the crown of Heng Xiang", Deng Gong's "Guilin Cave is the crown of the world", and Zhang Xiaoxiang's "Guilin's landscape is the crown of the southeast" and so on. For hundreds of years, people were not sure where this famous saying was written.
