Which place has license plates with 'Dong'?
2 Answers
There are no license plates starting with the character 'Dong'. These are likely fictional prop license plates used in TV dramas. Here's more information about license plates: 1. Standard license plates consist of: provincial abbreviation + city letter code + numeric plate number. License plates serve to identify and register vehicle information, primarily enabling identification of a vehicle's registered region and facilitating owner/registration lookups. 2. There are three encoding rules for 5-digit license plate sequences: a) All digits use Arabic numerals; b) Each position uses English letters (excluding O and L from the 26-letter alphabet); c) Combination with 2 English letters (still excluding O and L).
Having driven for many years, I've noticed that license plates with the character 'Dong' (East) on the streets usually refer to vehicles from Shandong Province. Although the first letter or Chinese character on Chinese license plates represents the province, and Shandong uses 'Lu' instead of directly using 'Dong,' the full name of Shandong contains the character 'Dong,' so people commonly refer to 'Dong' plates as coming from Shandong. Shandong is a major coastal province in eastern China with a developed economy and a huge number of vehicles, making plates like 'Lu A' (Jinan) and 'Lu B' (Qingdao) very common on the road. Understanding this helps me determine the origin of vehicles, such as quickly identifying out-of-town cars on highways to avoid misjudging while following or having more topics in conversations. The license plate system is a national standard with different codes for each province, and Shandong's 'Lu' originates from the name of an ancient historical state, reflecting local characteristics.
