Henan's license plate abbreviation is Yu. The first character of a Henan license plate is a Chinese character representing the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered, and the second is an English letter representing the city-level license plate of the vehicle's location. Henan license plates are divided into 18 regions, with the first letters of the plates ranging from A to U. The license plate codes are as follows: YuA is Zhengzhou, YuB is Kaifeng, YuC is Luoyang, YuD is Pingdingshan, YuE is Anyang, YuF is Hebi, YuG is Xinxiang, YuH is Jiaozuo, YuJ is Puyang, YuK is Xuchang, YuL is Luohe, YuM is Sanmenxia, YuN is Shangqiu, YuP is Zhoukou, YuQ is Zhumadian, YuR is Nanyang, YuS is Xinyang, YuU is Jiyuan. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, and bear the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles, with their primary function being to identify the region to which a vehicle belongs. Additionally, the vehicle's owner and registration details can be traced based on the license plate.
As a seasoned driver who frequently hits the road, I know that the abbreviation for Henan on license plates is ‘Yu’, representing Henan Province. The first character on a license plate is always the provincial abbreviation. Since the 1980s when I started driving, I’ve seen plates like ‘Yu A’ for Zhengzhou and ‘Yu B’ for Kaifeng. As a veteran, I’m aware that every Chinese province has its unique abbreviation, such as ‘Yue’ for Guangdong and ‘Chuan’ for Sichuan. ‘Yu’ originates from the ancient Yuzhou, symbolizing Henan’s cultural heritage. On long-distance drives, recognizing these abbreviations helps me quickly identify a vehicle’s origin and avoid misjudging directions. Henan, as a major agricultural province, has simple and practical license plate designs, with colors like blue background and white text for private cars, and yellow background with black text for trucks. Remember, ‘Yu’ plates are common on highways, especially around ‘Yu A’ Zhengzhou during traffic jams—checking plates can help you yield appropriately. In short, mastering this knowledge enhances driving safety, and even beginners can pick up practical skills from it.
