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.

Luonan County, located in the southeast of Shaanxi Province, belongs to Shangluo City. Located in the south of Huashan, Huayang Pool is set up in Zhou and Huayang County is located in Qin Dynasty. It is 108 kilometers away from Xi'an. It is adjacent to Lushi and Lingbao in Henan to the east, Danfeng and Shangzhou to the south, Huazhou and Lantian to the west, Huayin and Tongguan to the north, and is known as Shaanxi's "southeast gateway". It is the only Yellow River valley county in Shangluo City and the "top ten gold medal walnut counties" in China. The forest coverage rate is above 90%. Luonan is the hometown of Chinese character culture, and the word Shengcangjie created the characters here, so Luonan is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. On August 4, 2018, the Fifth Plenary session of the fourth Shangluo Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China discussed and deliberated the opinions on abolishing the establishment of Huayang District in Luonan County. This work is being submitted to the State Council for approval in accordance with the procedures, which means that Luonan County will withdraw in the future.
