Longlin Various Nationalities Autonomous County (Chinese: 隆林各族自治县; pinyin: Lónglín Gèzú Zìzhìxiàn) is an autonomous county, under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level city of Baise, in the west of Guangxi, China, bordering Guizhou Province to the north.

[2] Present-day Longlin was first incorporated into the Song dynasty in 1253, when it fell under the jurisdiction of Anlongdong as part of the Sicheng Prefecture [zh].

[2] The Miao People of Longlin County are believed to be native to Hubei and Hunan who migrated southwest towards Guizhou and Yunnan, and later arrived in the region during the late Ming dynasty and early Qing dynasty.

[2] The probably reason for this migration appears connected to the Qing suppression of Miao uprisings in Guizhou and Xiangxi.

[8] Longlin is home to a considerable amount of Yi (autonym: ŋo³³pʰu²¹[9]), who historically lived in western Yunnan.

[2] Historical documents from the Nanzhao State suggest that certain Yi populations left Yunnan to avoid inter-tribal violence.

[2] Within De'e, Yi people are concentrated in Agao (阿稿), Nadi (那地), Nongbao (弄保), Tangshi (塘石), and 10 other villages.

[citation needed] The county's Gelao people moved to the area from Guizhou during the early Qing dynasty, with local legends suggesting that the reason for this migration could have been conflict or famine.

[10] The Bolyu mostly live in the northern portion of the autonomous county,[11] alongside local Miao populations.
