Where is the license plate 'Tong' from?

Currently, there is no 'Tong' license plate, as it is a fictional plate from a film or TV series. The first character of a license plate represents the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered, the second is an English letter representing the city-level code of the vehicle's location, followed by a five-digit serial number. The functions of a vehicle license plate are: 1. To number and register information for each vehicle; 2. To identify the region to which the vehicle belongs; 3. To trace the owner and registration details of the vehicle based on the plate. Types of vehicle license plates: 1. White represents military or police plates; 2. Blue represents ordinary small vehicles with fewer than 7 seats; 3. Yellow represents ordinary large vehicles; 4. Black represents foreign enterprise plates.
Last time a friend asked about the license plate with the character '瞳', I've been repairing cars for over 20 years, so let me explain. The first Chinese character on Chinese vehicle license plates represents the province or municipality, like '京' for Beijing and '沪' for Shanghai, but '瞳' is definitely not a standard abbreviation. I suspect it might be a typo, and phonetically it should be '渝', which would mean it's a Chongqing license plate. Since the reform, the license plate system has been standardized uniformly and cannot be altered arbitrarily. If you see uncommon characters on the road, be sure to verify their authenticity to avoid trouble from fake plates. Additionally, the color and numbers on the plate also provide information, such as blue plates for ordinary cars and yellow plates for large trucks. For road safety, having the correct license plate is crucial, as misuse could lead to point deductions and fines. I recommend checking the input or using the traffic management app to verify the plate's origin.
