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.

Xianan District, which belongs to Xianning City, Hubei Province, is located in the southeast of Hubei Province, bordering Yangxin in the east, Chongyang in the south, Chibi in the west, Jiangxia in the north, Tongshan in the southeast, and Jiayu in the northwest. The total area is 1503.8 square kilometers. Xianan District is the seat of the municipal party committee and municipal government. It was removed from the county in 1984 and changed to Xianan District in March 1999. It was one of the first batch of counties, cities and districts approved by the State Council in 1986. Li Yong, a calligrapher with the reputation of "six marvels in Hanlin and a fairy hand in the book" in the Tang Dynasty, and Feng Jing in the Song Dynasty left an everlasting story about "marrying two prime ministers and three world leaders"; during the period of the new democratic revolution and socialist construction, a number of early revolutionaries such as Qian Yishi, he Gongwei and Qian Ying emerged from here. It is an important part of Wuhan city circle. In 2018, there are three under the jurisdiction of Xianan District.
