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.

Zhaohua District is a municipal district under the jurisdiction of Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province. it is located in the north of Sichuan Basin and in the middle of Guangyuan City, with a total area of 1434.71 square kilometers and 11 towns, 17 townships and 1 street. By the end of 2016, there were 76150 households and 233008 people. During the warring States period, it was the territory of Shu, and Qin destroyed the State of Wei after it was located in Qimeng County. In the five years of Kaibao of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 972), Qin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was changed to Zhaohua County with the meaning of "showing the grace of the emperor and transforming the people". The name Zhaohua got its name from this. Yuanba District was bought in 1989 and renamed Zhaohua District in March 2013. In 2016, the gross domestic product of Zhaohua District reached 4.49605 billion yuan, and the per capita disposable income of residents was 14531 yuan, of which the per capita disposable income of urban residents was 25580 yuan.
