I often drive long distances and always notice the license plates from different provinces at service areas. Henan's abbreviation is just one character 'Yu', and all Henan license plates start with this character. Speaking of which, this abbreviation has a strong connection to the ancient Yu Zhou from the Nine Provinces. Once when I was hauling cargo to Zhengzhou, locals jokingly said the 'Yu' character represents Henan people being as steady and reliable as elephants—though it's a joke, it’s quite vivid. Drivers from other provinces sometimes mix up the abbreviations for Henan and Hebei. Just remember Hebei is 'Ji', and you can tell them apart by the first character on the license plate.
