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.

Linxi County is a county under the jurisdiction of Xingtai City, Hebei Province, which is located in the southeast of Hebei Province and in the east of Xingtai City. Beijing-Kowloon Railway, Xinglin Expressway and Xinglin Highway run through the county, which is the east gate of Xingtai City and the bridgehead of Jilu. The administrative area covers an area of 542square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 6 towns, 3 townships, 6 communities and 299 administrative villages, with a resident population of 352900 (2016). The county people's government is stationed in Zhujiang Road, Linxi Town. The Han Dynasty bought Qingyuan County (now facing the west). The Northern Wei Dynasty changed its name to Linqing County. After the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the county government moved to Shuidong (now Linqing), which became the Hexi part of Linqing County. In 1964, five districts to the west of Wei Canal in Linqing County were established as Linxi County. Celebrities such as Wang Yanchao in the Northern Song Dynasty, Xie Zhen, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Yulan, a national labor model, have emerged in the history of Linxi County.
