In order to explore the migration and transformation characteristics of soil heavy metals in rice in an area of ground source cadmium anomaly and to evaluate the safe planting of rice, a total of 91 pairs of soil and rice samples were collected from paddy fields in the typical area of Liuzhou city, Guangxi province, and the contents of heavy metals such as Cd, soil pH, and organic matter were tested. The results showed that:① Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn in the paddy field exceeded the background values of 92.31%, 34.07%, 36.26%, and 90.11%, respectively. Compared with the screening values in the Soil Environmental Quality Agricultural Land Soil Pollution Risk Control Standard, Cd and Zn exceeded 30.53% and 25.26%, respectively. Super standard points were mainly distributed in Fushi Town. ② Cd and Ni exceeded 35.16% and 3.30%, respectively, and Daliang town had the highest Cd enrichment coefficient and Cd exceeded rate. ③ Correlation analysis showed that soil pH was the main influencing factor of heavy metals in rice, and Cd and Ni had similar pollution sources in rice. ④ The results of rice health risk assessment showed that the THQ value of rice Cd in Daliang town was greater than 1.0, indicating the potential health risk of rice Cd in this area. The TTHQ values were all greater than 1.0, indicating that the risks to children were higher than those to adult women, which were higher than those of adult men, showing that reasonable dietary structure is crucial to prevent heavy metal intake in different ages and genders. Therefore, there are certain risks in rice planting in the Liuzhou area of ground source cadmium anomaly, which need to be controlled using different safety utilization measures.
