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.

Luohe City, a municipality of Henan Province, is located on the southwest edge of the North China Plain. Funiu Mountain in the west and plain in the east is the joint of the second and third steps on the Chinese terrain; it is located on the southern edge of the warm temperate zone and belongs to the warm transitional monsoon climate. In the course of the year, there is an alternation of hot and cold and four distinct seasons. It has jurisdiction over 3 municipal districts and 2 counties with a total population of 2.8413 million in 2018. Luohe has a long history. The seven-tone bone flute, the national treasure unearthed at the Jiahu site, is the earliest musical instrument in the world; the oracle bone inscription symbol found 8000-9,000 years ago is the earliest written prototype in the world so far; the wine-making relics unearthed push the history of human wine-making to more than 9000 years ago; Xu Shen, who compiled the world's earliest dictionary Shuo Wen Jie Zi, also lived in this land.
