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.

Nanhua County is a county under the jurisdiction of Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Formerly known as Zhennan, it was changed to Nanhua County in 1954, meaning "beautiful place in the southwest". Nanhua County is located in the west of Chuxiong Prefecture, bordered by Mouding County in the east, Chuxiong City in the southeast, Jingdong Yi Autonomous County in the south, Midu County in the west, Xiangyun County and Yao'an County in the north. The county seat is 33 kilometers away from the state capital Chuxiong City, 192 kilometers away from the provincial capital Kunming, and 175 kilometers away from Dali City. Nanhua County is not only one of the key counties of the national poverty alleviation and development work, but also one of the 47 revolutionary base counties in Yunnan during the War of Liberation. On February 2, 2019, it was rated as a county-level national advanced unit of traditional Chinese medicine by the State Administration of traditional Chinese Medicine. On April 30, 2019, the people's Government of Yunnan Province decided that Nanhua County would withdraw from the sequence of poor counties.
