Abstract: Based on local gazetteers, modern documents, and research materials from the history of science and technology, this paper examines the historical evolution and cultural integration of tea in the Baise region of Guangxi. The study focuses on the overall developmental trajectory of Baise tea, represented by Lingyun Baihao Tea, from the Ming Dynasty to the mid-20th century. Baise is located at the junction of Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou, along the ancient Tea Horse Road. The unique natural environment of its core production area, Lingyun County, provides optimal conditions for tea tree growth. From the perspective of historical geography and social-cultural history, this study outlines the historical evolution of Baise tea from wild utilization and tribute economy to modern varietal recognition. Simultaneously, it reveals the enduring role of tea as a local product in promoting multi-ethnic cultural integration and social life in the region.
