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.

Zhenping County, which is under the jurisdiction of Nanyang City, Henan Province, is located in the southwest of Henan Province, northwest of Nanyang Basin, at the southern foot of Funiu Mountain, and only 30 kilometers east from the central city of Nanyang City. With a total area of 1560 square kilometers, it has jurisdiction over 3 streets and 19 townships with a total population of 1.04 million. Zhenping, known as Niyang in ancient times, has a history of jade carving for more than 4000 years. Jade carving culture has a long history, broad and profound, known as the jade capital of China, and is one of the birthplaces of Chinese jade culture. Jin Aizong set up Zhenping County in the third year (AD 1226). Yuan Haowen, a famous poet in Jin and Yuan dynasties, was the first county magistrate of Zhenping and was the hometown of General Peng Xuefeng, a famous general in modern China. Zhenping has convenient transportation and superior location conditions. Ningxi Railway and Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway run from east to west, Jiaozhi Railway and Taiao Expressway run from north to south, east to Nanyang Jiangying Airport 3
