The Old Capital (short Stories)
''The Old Capital,'' published in 1996, is a collection of short stories written by Taiwanese female author Chu Tien-hsin (Chinese: 朱天心). Comprising four short stories and one novella, the book revolves around themes such as mainland Chinese immigrants’ national identity, personal identity, and relocation of military dependents' villages in Taiwan's capital, Taipei. The title of the book is borrowed from the Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata's (Chinese/Japanese: 川端康成) novel ''The Old Capital'', drawing parallels between the late 20th-century Taipei and the quiet, ancient, and timeless aspects of Kyoto, highlighting the disappearance of historical sites and the continuous silencing and rewriting of history in the wake of urbanization. An English version of this collection has been translated by renowned literary translator Howard Goldblatt and published by Columbia University Press (2007). Through different focus of each story and carefully arranged intertextuality, ...

Capital City (other)
A capital city, or just capital, is the municipality holding primary status in a country, state, province, department, or other subnational division, usually as its seat of the government. A capital is typically a city that physically encompasses the government's offices and meeting places; the status as capital is often designated by its law or constitution. In some jurisdictions, including several countries, different branches of government are in different settlements, sometimes meaning multiple official capitals. In some cases, a distinction is made between the official (constitutional) capital and the seat of government, which is in another place. English-language media often use the name of the capital metonymically to refer to the government sitting there. Thus, "London-Washington relations" is widely understood to mean diplomatic relations between Great Britain and the United States. Terminology and etymology The word ''capital'' derives from the Latin word (ge ...
