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.

Dawu County, which belongs to Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, is located on the border between Hubei and Henan in the northeast of Hubei Province, the southwest section of the Dabie Mountains, 48.8km from north to south and 42.2km from east to west, with a total area of 1985.71 square kilometers. Dawu County, formerly known as Lishan County, was founded in 1933 and renamed Dawu County in 1952. It is the hinterland of the old revolutionary base area of Hubei, Henan and Anhui. Zhou Enlai, Dong Biwu, Li Xiannian, Xu Qian and other party and state leaders left battle footprints in Dawu, and it was also the hometown of Li Yuanhong, the great president of the Republic of China. In 2018, Dawu County has jurisdiction over 14 towns and 3 townships.
