Louisville (/ˈluːivɪl/ (listen) LOO-ee-vil, US: /ˈluːɪvɪl/ (listen) LOO-ə-vəl, locally /ˈlʊvɪl/ (listen) LUUV-əl) is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the 28th most-populous city in the United States.[a] Louisville is the historical seat and, since 2003, the nominal seat of Jefferson County, on the Indiana border.

Named after King Louis XVI of France, Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark, making it one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachians. With nearby Falls of the Ohio as the only major obstruction to river traffic between the upper Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico, the settlement first grew as a portage site. It was the founding city of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which grew into a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) system across 13 states.

Today, the city is known as the home of boxer Muhammad Ali, the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Fried Chicken, the University of Louisville and its Cardinals, Louisville Slugger baseball bats, and three of Kentucky's six Fortune 500 companies: Humana, Kindred Healthcare, and Yum! Brands. Muhammad Ali International Airport, Louisville's main commercial airport, hosts UPS's worldwide hub.

Diebu County, under the jurisdiction of Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, is located in the alpine canyon between Xiyanmin and Dieshan mountain systems in the Qinling Mountains, at the junction of Ganchuan on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Zhuoni in the north, Zhouqu in the east, Hadapu in Dangchang in the northeast, and Ruoergai County and Jiuzhaigou County in Sichuan in the southwest. It has a total area of 5108.3 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 5 towns and 6 townships. In 2017, there were 54000 permanent residents, including Tibetan, Hui, Mongolian and other ethnic minorities. Diebu County was called "Diezhou" in ancient times, which means "thumb" in Tibetan and was called the place where the mountain gods "pressed" it. There are revolutionary sites such as the "Russian Boundary Conference" of the Red Army during the long March, the former residence of Chairman Mao in Zirina, and the Natural Insurance Battle of Lazikou. In addition, there are also Majiayao cultural sites and Tibetan Buddhist monasteries. September 25, 2018
