This emblem was designed by an ethnic Zhuang Chinese designer. People call Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region as "Home of Bronze Drum". Bronze Drum is a cultural heritage of ethnic Zhuang. The Bronze Drum was used as religious instrument or musical instrument before. Later it became a symbol of power. Bronze Drums are often engraved by symbols of sun, flying man, aigrette, water wave, circle, and elephant eyes. Statues of frogs or ducks are used for decoration. Frog is worshipped by ethnic Zhuang as "Son of Thor". The Zhuang people believe that frog is able to summon rain and wind. Zhuang people celebrate a "frog festival" every year. Frogs with different poses on the drum face in this emblem represent ethnic Zhuang's totemism.
人们把广西壮族自治区誉为“铜鼓之乡”。铜鼓是壮族人民的传统文化遗物，原来用作法器、乐器，后来演变成权威的象征。铜鼓上面刻有太阳纹、羽人纹、鹭纹、水波纹、圆圈纹、象眼纹等，还饰有青蛙、水鸭等立体雕饰。壮族人尊青蛙为“天上雷王之子”，认为青蛙能呼风唤雨，民间有“青蛙登殿”的传说，并过“青蛙节”。鼓面上的青蛙是壮族图腾崇拜的标志。
