Nashville is the capital city of the U.S. state of Tennessee and the seat of Davidson County. With a population of 689,447 at the 2020 U.S. census, Nashville is the most populous city in the state, 21st most-populous city in the U.S., and the fourth most populous city in the southeastern U.S. Located on the Cumberland River, the city is the center of the Nashville metropolitan area, which is one of the fastest growing in the nation.

Named for Francis Nash, a general of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, the city was founded in 1779. The city grew quickly due to its strategic location as a port on the Cumberland River and, in the 19th century, a railroad center. Nashville seceded with Tennessee during the American Civil War; in 1862 it was the first state capital in the Confederacy to be taken by Union forces. After the war, the city reclaimed its position and developed a manufacturing base.

Since 1963, Nashville has had a consolidated city-county government, which includes six smaller municipalities in a two-tier system. The city is governed by a mayor, a vice-mayor, and a 40-member metropolitan council; 35 of the members are elected from single-member districts, while the other five are elected at-large. Reflecting the city's position in state government, Nashville is home to the Tennessee Supreme Court's courthouse for Middle Tennessee, one of the state's three divisions.

"Awati" is transliterated in Uygur language, meaning "prosperity". The area of Awati County used to be called "Duolang" and was the hometown of "Duolang people" (ancient Uygur tribes). Later, a large number of farmers emigrated here, with a sudden increase in population, a wide range of arable land and a changing face, so they changed their name to Awati. Awati County, which belongs to Aksu region of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region, is an important grain, cotton and fruit base in the region. It covers an area of 13259 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 5 townships, 3 towns and 3 agricultural and forestry farms. There are 118villages, 7 neighborhood committees, 34 companies and more than 80 animal husbandry sites, as well as some regimental farms of the first Agricultural Division of the bingtuan. In 2012, the population of the county was 245800, including Uygur, Han, Hui, Kazakh, Kirgiz, Uzbek, Mongolian, Xibe and Russian.
