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.

Yitong Manchu Autonomous County, which belongs to Siping City, Jilin Province, is the only Manchu Autonomous County in Jilin Province. "Yitong" is a Manchu transliteration, derived from the name of Yitong River, which means "grand, surging river". Yitong Manchu Autonomous County is located in the middle of Jilin Province, the upper reaches of Yitong River, the south of the provincial capital Changchun, Shuangyang District of Changchun City in the east, Panshi City in the southeast, Dongfeng and Dongliao counties in the south, Lishu County in the southwest, Gongzhuling City in the southwest and the suburbs of Changchun in the north. The territory is 76 kilometers from east to west, 66 kilometers from north to south, and covers an area of 2523 square kilometers. It was first promoted to Yitong Prefecture in the eighth year of Guang Xu (1882) and Yitong Zhili Prefecture in the first year of Xuantong (1909). In 1913, the state was withdrawn and the county was established. On August 30, 1988, Yitong County was abolished and established.
