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.

Dongxing District, which belongs to Neijiang City, Sichuan Province, is located in the central and southern part of Sichuan Basin and on the east bank of the middle reaches of the Tuojiang River. Dongxing District is bordered by Rongchang District to the east, Daan District and Longchang City to the south, Shizhong District to the west, and Zizhong County and Anyue County to the north.

Dongxing District was once known as the "Sweet City" because of its rich sugar cane and developed sugar industry, and also known as the "hometown of calligraphy and painting" because of the emergence of the eldest son of Gongsun, the master of traditional Chinese painting Zhang Daqian, Zhang Shanzi, and the "news magnate" Fan Changjiang.
