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.

Xiangxiang City, located in the middle of Hunan Province, a county-level city in Hunan Province, is under the jurisdiction of Xiangtan City, a city in central and central China, the hometown of Hunan Army, and an important town in Chunan, which was called "Dragon City" in ancient times. Xiangxiang is 22 kilometers north of Shaoshan and 80 kilometers east of Changsha. Xiangxiang is a provincial civilized city, provincial sanitary city and provincial garden city. Xiangxiang, home to the county in 3 BC, is the birthplace of the Hunan army and the hometown of great men. On March 6, 1987, Xiangxiang County was officially changed into Xiangxiang City. "since ancient times, there has been an army without Hunan, and the Xiang army from all over the world has come out of Xiangxiang." Xiangxiang once "gathered a group of talents with a hundred miles of land, maintained the overall situation with the power of one army" and "conquered 18 provinces with the soldiers of one county". After more than half a century, Xiangxiang has written a heavy brushstroke in the modern history of China. As of 2016, Xiangxiang covers a total area of 1967 square kilometers
