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.

Chaotian District is the municipal district of Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, with 25 townships under the jurisdiction of the region, with a total population of 200000, an area of 1620 square kilometers and a cultivated land area of 260000 mu. It is the first political, economic and cultural center at the starting point of Shu Road in the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. It is known as "the important town of Qin and Shu" and "the gateway to northern Sichuan". According to legend, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went to Shu to avoid the an-Shi Rebellion. Various states and counties greeted him here, calling it "the son of Heaven", hence the name "Chaotian", which extended to the meaning of "rising to Heaven". Chaotian has always been the government of Lizhou and Guangyuan (prefecture and county). After the founding of New China, it was under the jurisdiction of Guangyuan County. In 1989, with the approval of the State Council, Chaotian District of Guangyuan City was established. On September 25, 2018, he won the honorary title of "2018 e-commerce into rural comprehensive demonstration county" of the Ministry of Commerce. 2019 1
