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.

Weibin District, which belongs to Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, is located in the west of Guanzhong, the northern foot of Qinling Mountains, across the north and south banks of the Weihe River. It borders Chencang District in the east and west, Taibai County and Feng County in the south, and Jintai District in the north, with a total area of 728 square kilometers. Weibin is also the shore of Weihe River. The area, formerly known as Shennong District, south of the Weihe River, is the hometown of the ancient leader Yan Emperor Shennong and the birthplace of the Chinese nation. Legend has it that Yan Emperor Shennong was born in Mengyugou in the district, grew up in Wayu Temple, bathed in Jiulong Spring and stayed in Tiantai Mountain. The Yandi Mausoleum, located on Changyang Mountain in Weibin District, is the main place for the descendants of Yan and Huang to seek roots and worship their ancestors. In 2018, Weibin District had jurisdiction over 5 streets and 5 towns with a registered population of 424043, with a regional gross domestic product (GDP) of 54.63 billion yuan, of which the primary industry was realized.
