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.

Tieshan District, located in the west of Huangshi City, Hubei Province, is rich in mineral resources and is named for its rich iron ore. More than 1700 years ago, the ancestors dug and smelted here. Dongfangshuo studied here in the Han Dynasty; Yue Fei, a national hero, forged the "sword of Daye" here; at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong, governor of Huguang, built China's first large-scale open-pit iron ore, Daye Iron Mine, which was the largest in East Asia at that time. Tieshan became the cradle of China's modern iron and steel industry. Tieshan District Railway connects Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-Kowloon two major transport arteries, and National Highway 106 runs through the whole territory. Tourist attractions include Yellowstone National Mining Park, Luzhangshan Park, Tieshan Temple, Huazang Temple and so on. During the 12th five-year Plan period, Tieshan will invest 20 billion yuan to build the "Iron City of the World".
