Where is the license plate number Yu E from?

Yu E is the license plate number for Anyang City, Henan Province. The license plate codes for other regions in Henan Province are as follows: Yu A for Zhengzhou, Yu B for Kaifeng, Yu C for Luoyang, Yu D for Pingdingshan, Yu F for Hebi, Yu G for Xinxiang, Yu H for Jiaozuo, Yu J for Puyang, Yu K for Xuchang, Yu L for Luohe, Yu M for Sanmenxia, Yu N for Shangqiu, Yu P for Zhoukou, Yu Q for Zhumadian, Yu R for Nanyang, Yu S for Xinyang, and Yu U for Jiyuan. Generally, a license plate number consists of the province abbreviation, regional code, and five digits or a combination of digits and letters, except for special license plates. The license plate number serves as the vehicle's identification, much like an ID card number does for a person.
A friend of mine often drives long distances and finds license plate recognition quite useful. 'Yu' refers to Henan Province, which is part of China's provincial code system. The letter 'E' stands for Anyang City within Henan Province. Each province in China has its own designated character, such as 'Jing' for Beijing and 'Yue' for Guangdong. Within Henan, the letters start from 'A'—YuA for Zhengzhou, YuB for Kaifeng, YuC for Luoyang, YuD for Pingdingshan, and YuE for Anyang, and so on. When driving, seeing a license plate starting with 'YuE' tells me the vehicle is from Anyang, possibly for freight or tourism. The license plate system is well-designed for traffic management, and paying attention to plate origins on highways or in cities helps me better assess road risks. Occasionally, when encountering a 'YuE' vehicle, I also check local road conditions—like mountainous roads in Henan—to prepare in advance, which is a smart move. Overall, understanding this helps me make fewer mistakes while driving.
