Changsha, also known as Star City, is the capital of Hunan Province. It is located in the central region of China, at the lower reaches of the Xiang River, on the western edge of the Changliu Basin, in the northeastern part of Hunan. The Beijing-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway, Shanghai-Kunming High-Speed Railway, and Chongqing-Xiamen High-Speed Railway converge here. The total area is 11,819 square kilometers, with a population of 8.3945 million. In ancient times, Changsha was part of the territory of the Yangyue people, a branch of the Baiyue tribes. The Qin Dynasty established Changsha Prefecture, and since then, it has been included in the administrative divisions of the Central Plains. In 1949, Changsha was peacefully liberated and became the capital of Hunan Province. In modern times, it was one of the sources of the late Qing Dynasty's reform movement and the old democratic revolution, as well as one of the birthplaces of the new democratic movement. Today, it is a comprehensive transportation hub and an important node city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Changsha is one of the first national historical and cultural cities. With a history of three thousand years, the city name and site have remained unchanged, earning it titles such as "Hometown of Qu Jia", "Famous City of Chu and Han", and "Xiaoxiang Zhu Si". It is home to historical sites such as the Mawangdui Han Tomb, the Four Sheep Square Zun, the Wu Bamboo Slips from the Three Kingdoms, Yuelu Academy, and Tongguan Kiln. It has distilled the Huxiang culture characterized by "practical application and inclusiveness".
