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.

Huishui County belongs to Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou Province. It is located in the central and southern part of Guizhou Province, bordering Guiyang, west and Anshun to the north. The county is 72 kilometers wide from east to west and 68 kilometers from north to south. Ethnic minorities account for 58%. Huishui has been established in Nanning since the five dynasties, Bafan in the Song Dynasty, Chengfan House and Dingfan House in the Ming Dynasty, which has a history of more than a thousand years. The Buyi, Miao, Han, Maonan, Zhuang, Yi, Shui, Hui and other ethnic groups who have lived in this land have built Huishui into a famous land of rice and millet and the hometown of orange fruits in Guizhou after generations of development. On April 24, 2019, the people's Government of Guizhou Province formally approved Huishui County to withdraw from the sequence of poor counties.
