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.

Guixi is located in the northeast of Jiangxi Province and in the middle reaches of Xinjiang River. It has a history of more than 1200 years since the county was founded in the first year of Tang Yongtai (765 AD). In 1996, counties were removed and cities were established. The city covers an area of 2480 square kilometers, with a population of 600400, 21 townships, 3 subdistrict offices and 7 forest (reclamation, horticulture) farms. Guixi is the national copper smelting base, the national commodity grain base, the key timber production base of Jiangxi Province, the Yangtze River shelterbelt base and the national grain reserve base. Guixi City is surrounded by Yuehu District of Yingtan City on three sides, and there are World Natural Heritage and World Geopark double Crown Scenic spot Longhu Mountain. During the second Revolutionary Civil War, Guixi was an important part of the revolutionary base areas of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi.
