Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia, also known as Washington or D.C. or locally simply as the District, is the capital city and federal district of the United States. It is located on the east bank of the Potomac River, which forms its southwestern and southern border with the U.S. state of Virginia, and it shares a land border with the U.S. state of Maryland on its other sides. The city was named for George Washington, a Founding Father and the first president of the United States, and the federal district is named after Columbia, the female personification of the nation. As the seat of the U.S. federal government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. It is one of the most visited cities in the U.S., with over 20 million annual visitors as of 2016.

The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress; the district is not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself). The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of the capital district located along the Potomac River near the country's East Coast. The City of Washington was founded in 1791, and Congress held its first session there in 1800. In 1801, the territory, formerly part of Maryland and Virginia (including the settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria), officially became recognized as the federal district. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia, including the city of Alexandria; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the district. There have been efforts to make the city into a state since the 1880s, a movement that has gained momentum in recent years, and a statehood bill passed the House of Representatives in 2021.

Anyuan District, which belongs to Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province, is the seat of the CPC Pingxiang Municipal Committee and Municipal Government, and the political, economic, commercial, cultural, scientific and educational and transportation center of Pingxiang City. The area is located in the west of Jiangxi Province, central Pingxiang City, adjacent to Hunan, historically known as "Wu Chu throat, Jiangxi-Hunan thoroughfare". The Shanghai-Kunming Railway and the Shanghai-Kunming High-speed Railway run from east to west and are connected with the two major arteries of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and the Beijing-Kowloon Railway. 320, 319 National Highway, Shanghai-Rui, Pingli Expressway, double crosses run through the territory. Anyuan District has set up separate counties at the end of the three Kingdoms for more than 1700 years. Anyuan is one of the areas with the rise of industry in modern China. In 24 (1898), Sheng Xuanhuai, the minister of post in the late Qing Dynasty, created a coal mine in Anyuan, which was one of the top ten factories and mines in the Qing Empire at that time. Anyuan became one of the cooperation between China and the West at that time.
