Ok I don't know because I don't understand the question. Because Guangxi is a place and Zhuang are a people, sometimes Zhuang is added to the name Guangxi. So I will answer both. Guangxi is an extremely diverse province in Southern China. The eastern half shares many characteristics with Guang dong and Cantonese culture. I live in Guang dong and speak Cantonese only and traveled to Southern Guang xi and had no problems communicating, and ate many of the same foods I eat at home. The difference is that no matter where you are in Guangxi there are so many minorities it is a little confusing but fun. The starkest difference is that Guangxi is very poor and less developed than Guangdong, it seems more traditional and has considerably less pollution. I would prefer to live there but there are less jobs so I haven't moved. People are generally extremely friendly, and things are pretty cheap. The weather is hot and sunny with clearer skies than guang dong. Ok on the Zhuang. Text books and internet sites say they are Chinas largest minority and they are related to Thai or Tai people. Probably true. However my current girlfriend is from Guang xi and her family is mixed her daddy is hakka and her mommy is Zhuang. She says that zhuang is almost like Hakka. Kind of roaming hill side agriculturalists. She says hakka and zhuang food is almost the same, not sure. Anyway the starkests characteristics of zhuang is they speak with incredible lisps. Four in Chinese (guangdong ) is "sei" zhuang say " sththththei" Almost every sound is aspirated and lispy, especially when speaking their own dialect. Zhuang tend to be smart and good workers , but poor and undereducated. My girlfriend speaks inteligible simple English and over 4 dialects of Chinese very well, but never went to highschool. When she was a child she had to work in a factory but now is very wealthy and works in sales. Im sure there is more but that's all I know
