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.

Jingxian County, which belongs to Hengshui City, Hebei Province, is located in the southeast of Hebei Province, east of Hengshui City, close to Dezhou City, Shandong Province, the west bank of the Grand Canal, and is located in the economic development area around Beijing and Tianjin, around the Bohai Sea, and the triangle economic center of Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang and Jinan, with a total area of 1183 square kilometers and 1.25 million mu of arable land. It is a "Nanfang" economic region for Hebei Province to implement the strategy of "one line and two carriages" in the Eleventh five-year Plan. Since 2007, Jingxian has been named as "China Rubber and plastic Pipe Industry Base", "China Iron Tower Manufacturing Base" and "China forklift fork Manufacturing Base" by relevant national industry associations. In 2013, there were 3 national key cultural relics protection units in Jingxian County (Jingzhou Shili Pagoda, Feng's Tomb Group, Gao's Tomb Group) and 1 provincial key cultural relics protection unit (Zhou Yafu Tomb).
