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.

Zhidan County, which belongs to Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, is located in the hilly and gully region of the Loess Plateau in the north of Shaanxi Province, connected with Ansai in the east, Wuqi County and Jingbian County in the northwest, Ganquan County and Fuxian County in the southeast, and Heshui County and Huachi County in Gansu Province in the southwest. Between longitude 108o 11mm 56 "- 109o 3m 48" east and latitude 36o 21m 23 "- 37o 11m 47" north, with a total area of 3781 square km. Zhidan County, formerly known as Baoan County, was renamed Zhidan County in June of 1936 in memory of General Liu Zhidan, a "mass leader and national hero". In July of the 25th year of the people's Republic of China (1936), the Central people's Government of the Chinese Soviet Union held the capital Zhidan. The CPC Central Committee and Chairman Mao fought and lived here for more than six months, known as the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
