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.

Tengzhou, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Shandong Province, is hosted by Zaozhuang City. It is adjacent to Shanting District in the east, Xuecheng District in the south, Weishan County in Jining City in the west, and Zoucheng City in the north. It is between 116o 49km east longitude 117o 24km east longitude, 34o 50km north latitude and 35 °17' north latitude, with a total area of 1495 square kilometers. Tengzhou, in ancient times, is the land of the three Kingdoms and Wuyi and the state of prosperous culture. The archaeological excavation of the site of "Beixin Culture" dating back 7300 years shows that it is one of the birthplaces of the earliest civilization of the Chinese nation. Tengzhou is the hometown of Mozi, the founder of craftsmen, Xi Zhong, Meng Changjun and Mao Sui. In addition, during the Zhenguan period, Li Yuanying, the younger brother of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, was once named King Teng in Tengzhou, Shandong Province, and built a pavilion named "Teng" in Tengzhou.
