Abstract: There are many legends about Dragon Mother in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, in various places of which the intertextuality can be found in the version of Dragon Mother. Dragon Mother Worship is popular in three places, including Wuzhou area in Guangxi, Daming Mountain area and Guangdong Yuecheng area. The worship is rich with diverse cultural connotations such as totem worship, water god worship, and female reproduction worship, carrying people’s good wishes for good weather, blessing and well-being, reproductive reproduction, etc. The formation of cultural connotations is mainly related to the historical origin of national amalgamation in Guangdong and Guangxi, the hot and rainy natural environment in the area, the water-oriented mode of production and the believer’s mentality. As Dragon Mother Worship plays a connotative role in the development of Dragon Mother Culture, it is good for us to study its multicultural connotation so as to promote the inheritance of Dragon Mother culture and increase the depth of industrial development.

Key words: Guangdong and Guangxi, Dragon Mother legend, Dragon Mother worship, cultural connotation
